A memorandum circulated in September 1952 announced that the scope of the project was research and testing to arrive at, means of control rather than the more limited concept embodied in special interrogations. At a subsequent meeting of the ARTICHOKE steering committee, much time was taken up with discussions of LSD and on the possibility of concentrating on certain facilities in the United States as testing grounds for new ideas, experiments, etc., particularly using criminals and the criminally insane..
