     Memorandum from T.S. Chapman, Chief Operations Branch,
Research Division to the Area Engineer, Berkeley Area, subject:
"Human Experiments," dated December 30, 1946

ILLEGIBLE


                                                30 December 1946.



Subject:  Human Experiments.

To:       The Area Engineer, Berkeley Area, Berkeley, California.

     1.   With the concurrence of Lt. Col. Meals this office
discussed a proposal in a 484 progress report with Drs. Stone and
Miller.  It was stated that preparations were being made for
injection in humans by Dr. Stone and Miller.

     2.   These doctors state that the injections would probably
be made without the knowledge of the patient and that the
physicians assumed full responsibility.  Such injections were not
divergent from the normal experimental method in the hospital and
the patient signed no release.  A release was held to be invalid.

     3.   The Medical Division of the District Office has
referral "ILLEGIBLE" reports for project 28A to Colonel Cooney
for review and approval is withheld pending his opinion.

          For the District Engineer:



                                        T. S. CHAPMAN,
                                   Chief, Operations Branch,
                                        Research Division
