Human Experiments

<p>A 1970s Senate investigation of CIA activities found that the CIA had provided funds to Geschickter's private research foundation, which were in turn used for a research building at the Georgetown Medical Center.[4] It appears that the funds were used f<b>or human and animal experiments</b> related to <b>defenses against interrogation and brainwashing</b>, although Georgetown University denied any knowledge of such experiments.[7] In 1977 Geschickter testified before the Senate committee that over a period of thirteen years up to 1967 <b>his foundation had funded over $1 million of research at Georgetown and $2 million of research at other universities.</b> <b>The Georgetown research related to drugs that produced amnesia</b>. The Gorman Annex was funded by money provided to his foundation by the CIA. Since this appeared to be private money, the Federal government provided matching funding.[8][9]

Geschickter died in 1987.[10] The "Geschickter tumor", a bone tumor found on the femur or humerus that is often malignant, is named after him.[11]</p>
