On the recordFebruary 15, 1995
The CIA said they knew nothing of secret government radiation tests on American guinea pigs in the fifties. Those guinea pigs were American citizens. Can you believe this, Government documents now reveal the CIA not only knew, they funded a radiation testing lab in California to test American prisoners. Unbelievable. They knew nothing about the mining of the harbors, they knew nothing about the death-threat manuals, they knew nothing about Gary Powers. Stone cold lies. Now, evidence shows that during the Westmoreland-CBS trial, a secret CIA memo says, ``Have we gone beyond reasonable dishonesty?'' Reasonable dishonesty, Members? Lies, stone cold lies through their teeth. If Government is going to reform itself and cut the size of Government, Congress should cut the hell out of the CIA.
