--- Quote from: "dragonfly" ---Hey Ursus, that Congressional Report, "Individual Rights and the Federal Role in Behavior Modification " has about 30 pages of testimony about the Seed, it's on the internet if you google it.

Yep. See this post in the '1974 U.S. Senate report on Behavior Modification (The Seed)' thread for a link to download (655-page pdf; (23813K), and a few posts later for a 656-page scribd.com link (not recommended for those with a less than robust internet connection).
--- Quote from: "dragonfly" ---I talked with Ivor Pritchard at US Health and Human Services, Human Research Protections, He had never heard of SEED or straight.
He said that the 1974 congressional investigation implemented laws for NIH/NIMH and NIDA but not across the whole Federal Gov. That's why the LEAA could fund Straight. The LEAA is now the Office of Justice Programs, they never heard of anything and have no records. I'm happy to give out these folks emails if you want to add to the request for info, it might help.
Ivor Pritchard said he would search other Fed offices for documents if I could give him specific Documents to look for.
I could use help on that. If anyone out there knows what to ask for He seems pretty sympathetic and willing to help us get answers.
If there is a suggestion just PM me so I'm sure to get it...

This is helpful information to know! I'll let you know if I can come up with some specific questions. Usually my executive function capabilities are sub par, to say the least... :D
