    The Director of the CIA wrote to the Secretary of the Army regarding human subject testing of chemical compounds conducted by the Army at Edgewood Arsenal in 1973. There was disagreement over whether the CIA or DoD funded the project, Project OFTEN, at the time of the 1973 tests. Regardless, one agency would be responsible for appropriate follow up. Since the tests were conducted by Army personnel at Edgewood Arsenal, the Director assumed the subjects would be included in the Secretary's notification and follow up program. He requested confirmation or inclusion of the subjects if his assumption was incorrect.
