¶ History
In 1977, the Washington Post reported that senior officials at the National Institute of Mental Health were likely aware that the CIA funneled money to the institute to administer LSD and other drugs to federal prisoners in Lexington, Kentucky as a part of the MKUltra program.[1]
On September 29, 1999, the CIA announced the launch of its new venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel.[2]
