Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna called a hearing on “Mind Control and Accountability: Uncovering the Truth of the CIA’s MKULTRA Experiments.” During the hearing, members examined the history and timeline of the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) MKULTRA project and its original classification and how the project meets the CIA’s obligation to protect the United States.

What came in question was the accountability of the agency, the extent of the experimentation, and questions as to if the program actually stopped.Watch the hearingThe government document on the hearing.
