               MEMORANDUM  FOR THE RECORD

               FROM:      Raymond M. Reardon
                          Security Analysis Group

               SUBJECT:  Use  of Drugs in the Yuriy Nosenko Case



                    1.   On  1 August 1978, Thomas A. Ryan, DDO/SE Division,
               was interviewed regarding  any possible use of drugs by the
               Agency during  the interrogations of Yuriy Nosenko.  Mr. Scott
               Breckinridge, Principal  Coordinator for HSCA Matters, was
               present during the  interview. Mr. Ryan provided  the following
               information.

                    2.   Ryan became directly  involved in the Nosenko case
               in approximately April  1964. He participated  in the debriefing
               sessions and later in the hostile  interrogations which took
               place at Clinton, Maryland.  He was directly  involved with
               the handling of Nosenko until ear-,1965  when  Nosenko was
               moved to the installation at  SOLATIONI   Ryan never saw Nosenko
               while he was at  S LAIii,  alt oug   e did  see the Security
               logs and the medical reports which were  forwarded to SE Divi-
               sion from time to time.

                    3.   Ryan was certain that during the  Clinton phase of
               the debriefing and/or interrogation no drugs were  administered
               to Nosenko.  Furthermore, he has no reason  to believe that
               any drugs, other than routine medicin es were  administered to
               Nosenko while he was being held at ISOLATION

                    4.   Ryan mentioned that Paul L. Dillon  and Sally Downey,
               who are still with the Agency, would be logical persons  to
               interview concerning the possible use of drugs on Nosenko.
               He said that Dillon is currently stationed at  the Special
                   fling Center and that Downey is currently assigned to
               ksaisg  He also mentioned that John McMahon who, along with
               Ryan, was one of the two principal interrogators of Nosenko
               at Clinton, may still be associated with the Agency  in a
               contract capacity.

                                        SECRET                   CL BY 007472
