COLLECTIONS
The Papers of Joseph L Rauh, JR. Located in the Library of Congress. I used for this paper the depositions given by Alice Olson, Sidney Gottlieb, and Robert Lashbrook for the case Orlikow vs. US. These depositions were useful in that much of it concerns the case of Frank Olson.
The Papers of John Marks. Located at the National Security Archives, George Washington University in the Gellman Library. This collection contains the many thousands of documents on Behavioral Control collected by Marks for his book The Search For The Manchurian Candidate. I found various documents which helped in gaining a better understanding of project MKULTRA and the perceived threat of Soviet behavioral control.
