The attached I-esponse may be less precise than you ba,) lio.,-,d for, but it is the best we can ptovide in an unclassified 7,,de. The Naval Ocean Su-veillance Infurmation Center at Suitla, 2 @laryland is capable of compiling classified position refoy@ts on the Sov;ret wlaling fleet. I would be happy to request these reports for your perusal or you may want to deal -with the Center directly. We at CIA also are prepared to-give you in-depth briefings on the Soviet and Japanese fishing industry and other maritime matters if you feel they would be helpful. 7 Yours sincerel STANSFIELD TURNER Distribution: Approved for Release Date UNCLASSIFIED Soviet and Japanese tlhaling The Soviet Un-on and Japan, the two largest whaling nations, captured over 25,000 w'iiales during the 1975-76 season, or about 85% of the total harvested. Using floating factory ships attended by catcher vessels and spotter aircraft, their fleets can pursue whales around the world. 2 The JSSR's whaling fleet ranks first in the world in size and consists ef four mother ships and approximately 90 catcher boats totaling about 175,000 GRT. It operates in the Antarctic Ocean and in the Pacific Ocean near the Aleutian, Kurile and Comander Islands. The Japanese fleet, although the second largest in the world, is only aboit half the size of the Soviet fleet, consisting of three 2ioother ships and about 45 catcher vessels totaling close to 90,000 GRT. It too operates mostly in the Antarctic and Pacific Oceans, although coastal whaling off of Japan is also prominent. We have no detailed information on the current location of the Soviet and Japanese whaling fleets -dn the Pacific. Soviet whaling operations in the Pacific Ocean -- which generally consist of two ,,2pother ships and around 20 catcher boats -- have. however, been traditionally concentrated in the area between Guam, the Aleutian ds between 1 and thti liawaiian islan flay and 31 July. In August, the Pacific operations follow the migratory patterns of whales along the US west coast and Alaska. Soviet whaling in the Pacific normally ends in September or October, when the fleet returns t0o Soviet ports and is readied for Antarctic operations between October and May. Japanese whaling operations are generally in the same areas of the Pacific, although its fleet is centered closer to Japan. Cur- rently, there are an estimated 10 Japanese whaling vessels operating in the North Pacific, including one and possibly two mother ships. UNCLASSIFIED LET-ER TO: The HonDrable Leo 0.

Ryan House of Representatives OCT 1978 Washington, D.C. 2-0515 Dear Mr. Ryan: . Thank you for your letter of 27 September to Admiral Turner requesting confirmation or denial of t2he fact of CIA experiments using prisoners at the California medical facility at Vacaville. it is true that CIA sponsored testing. using volunteer inmates, was conducted at that facility. The project was completed in 1968. A report setting forlh the details of that testing has been released to the authorities at Vacaville and to the public. It is enclosed for your information and review. Also enclosed is correspondence between 2our Office of General Counsel and T. L. Clanon, M.D., Superintendent of the facility. We have also included correspondence from our Inform- ation and Privacy Coordinator to l@Ir. Thomas K. Dalglish, Chairperson, Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects, California Department of Health. These documents, all of which are now in the public domain, will give you a clearer idea of the naturp and extent of the testing, which2 related to learning enhancement using a well-known non-halluci- inogen, magnesium pemoline. Your letter referred to Donald DeFreese, known as CINQTJE, and Clifford Jefferson, both of whom were inmates at Vacaville. In so far as our records reflect the names of the participants, there is nothing to indicate that eithe@r was in any way involved in the project. You may wisl,i to contact the authorities at Vac2aville for further irforrnation. I trust you will find this information helpful. 1PIeLz-e call rne if you have any questions or wisn additional iaormation. Sincerely, C'n@, C. jgj yr Frank C. Carlucci Enclosure1s ,,P,Ovoa Date
