### The Georgetown Hospital Deal
In 1955, Geschickter convinced Agency officials to contribute $375,000 in secret funds toward construction of a new research building at Georgetown University Hospital. Since this money appeared to come from private sources, unwitting Federal bureaucrats doubled it under the matching grant program for hospital construction. The Agency had a clear understanding with Geschickter that in return, he would ensure they received use of one-sixth of the beds and total space for their own "hospital safehouse," providing a ready source of "human patients and volunteers for experimental use." The arrangement would provide cover for up to three TSS staff members. [[Allen Dulles]] personally approved the contribution and then took it to President Eisenhower's special committee to review covert operations, which also gave assent. This was the only time in a quarter-century of behavioral control activities when documents show CIA officials went to the White House for approval.[^1]
