Other
sci

It
is recalled that
a resolution enti-

"On the Unsound Practice of Financing
Pseudoscientific Research out of State
Sources" was published,
together with
an
opinion
submitted by the USSR Academy of
Sciences'
department of general
physics
and
astronomy,
on July 4 of this year.
The
USSR Supreme Soviet's Committee on Science
and Technologies
Issued this
resolution.
It accused several
ministries of spending,

TTSeeking more information about uncon-

the author spoke

sequently went to the armed

He was told that the committee had
received no information
