What does the whole 1963 MKUltra inspector report say, and what did others quote?

Research question: What does the full text of the 1963 Inspector General report on MKUltra say, and which of its contents did the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission cite?

The verified facts do not include the full text of the 1963 Inspector General report, only summaries of parts of it. The report questioned using unknowing Americans as test subjects 1, recorded that the Technical Service Division had initiated 144 subprojects related to controlling human behavior 4, and mentioned electroshock, harassment substances, covert testing on unwitting U.S. citizens, and the search for new materials through specialists in hospitals and universities 3. The report was made available to the Church Committee and Senator Kennedy's Subcommittee on Health 3, and the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission established through sworn testimony that MKULTRA existed 2. The facts do not say which specific contents either body cited from the 1963 report, so that part of the question is only partly answered. The newest fact is labeled with a 2026 publication source 2, though the event it describes dates to 1975.
