CIA Memo for Deputy Director for Science and Technology re: OTS Support to CIA's Interrogation Programs

This May 2004 memo to the Deputy Director for Science and Technology discusses the Office of Technical Service's (OTS) support of the Counterterrorism Center (CTC) by: 1) developing the enhanced interrogation techniques (EITs); 2) hiring SERE psychologists/interrogation trained IC contractors, James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, among others; 3) getting DOJ and White House approvals for the use of EITs; 4) training future interrogators; and 5) reviewing the conditions of the detention and interrogation center; and finally 5) phasing out direct OTC support of the program, including transferring the tasking of the IC contractors to the C/CTC/RDG.
