In 1994, against the background of human radiation experiments that were front-page news at that time, media reported zinc cadmium sulfide tests (a chemical selected because it fluoresces under ultraviolet light and because the size of its particles resembles those of biological agents) first exposed by Freedom more than a decade before. A Minneapolis television station aired an investigatory series on experiments in the Twin Cities area. Those broadcasts, utilizing documents obtained by Freedom and the Church of Scientology, included interviews with people stricken by strange and inexplicable illnesses following the tests.
A subsequent investigation into health effects of the sprayings, ordered by Congress and performed by the National Research Council, found that “people were outraged by being exposed to chemicals by the government without their knowledge or consent.” Senator Paul Wellstone (D-Minn.) commented, “No one should ever have been subjected to these tests.”
