The record and its limits
What the existing documents establish.
The Senate calls MKSEARCH a continuation of MKULTRA and records its fiscal 1966–1972 funding. September 1977 CIA testimony reports discovery of 12 associated research grant records.
Evidence limitation
Continuation of financing is not proof of continued unwitting testing in every award.
Accountability / research target
The question the original records still need to answer.
Locate the 12 original grant folders, their payees, work statements, deliverables and activity dates.
This dossier will expand as original agency authorizations, financial records and contemporaneous correspondence are matched to named events. An unresolved request remains an investigation target, not a finding about an individual.

Relationship labels distinguish renamed or directly absorbed projects from subject overlap and later historical comparison. Every connection can be corrected if a contemporaneous record conflicts with the present classification.
Separate original-file cross-reference
Connection to the Epstein investigation.
No operational connection between this specific historical program and Epstein or an Epstein associate is established in the currently registered primary evidence. A possible match can be assessed in the companion Epstein files investigation using exact original file identifiers and matching institutional dates. A later research interest, shared subject term, or geographic overlap is insufficient.
