Title: NEW BOOK PROMPTS CALL FOR DIS- CLOSURE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL-WEAPONS R&D Primary Source: Jrud, April 10, 1992, No. 61 (21585), p. 4, cols. 5-7 Extract: An ultrasecret experiment of Ame- rican military services which was aimed at the possible use of telepathy for their purposes was described in an article by Jacques Berger entitled “Thought Transmis- sion -~ A Military Weapon." This article was published in France in December of 1959 and caused considerable commotion. We turned for explanations to the au- thors of a book, Psychotronic War (Psikho- tronnaya voyna), which is to be published by the publishing house of the Society for Studying Mysteries and Riddles of the Earth. "How authentic is this case?," we asked. It would be difficult to select a more competent source; Doctor of Biological Sciences G. Gurtovoy, a professor of bio- physics, and I. Vinokurov, a physiologist, have been engaged in research in the field 4 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000500610013-2 of bioenergy information science for more decades than one. On March 12, 1991, at a meeting in the Academy of Sciences, Ye. Aleksandrov, cor- responding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, identified organizations which were engaged in ‘pseudo-science,' in his opinion. The cost of research of spinor (tor- sion) or microlepton fields which allegedly transmit thoughts over distances proved to be 23 million rubles for projects under the auspices of the USSR Ministry of Defense alone, while the amount appropriated through the USSR Cabinet of Ministers’ mil- itary-industrial commission and the USSR State Security Committee was approximately 500 million rubles. Can Aleksandrov be correct in assert- ing that all of this work on development of psychological weapons is worthless? The commission “Fenomen” has a list of 26 ex- ecutors of work on the problem of "torsion" fields. On this list are very reputable institutes and firms and also eminent sci- entists, including academicians. Has the time perhaps come to make de- velopments in the field of "psi" weapons public, in order to be consistent in our striving for disarmament? We hope that such an open dialogue will take place. And the “Fenomen" commission will continue its investigation for the time being.* *See also the Daily SNAP, October 18, 1991, p. 2, col. 2; April 9, 1992, p. 3, col. 2 (SNAP 920505) * * * * Comments should be addressed to: FASTC/DXLT Attn: Roger Crozier WPAFB, OH 45433-6508 Additions or deletions to the distribution ist should be addressed to: FASTC/DXLP Attn: Mary Washington WPAFB, OH 45433-6508 Recipients of the Daily SNAP are advised that SNAP is intended solely for U.S. gov- ernment agencies and their designated con- tractors.
