As a result, we failed to receive
about 3 billion dollars in the last 5 years
alone.
The Americans are pressuring us to
give up certain joint projects involving
the transfer of space technologies to In-
dia, which refuses to join the Treaty on
the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
They themselves, though, a few days
ago offered India military satellites and
modern airplanes in exchange for the right
of American warships and submarines to
enter Indian ports
.
Incidentally, it has now been discov-
ered that what we sold was not an operating
"Topaz" but a stand-testing model. By con-
ducting tests with this model, the Penta-
gon, which bought it for 7.5 million dol-
lars, expects to obtain an economic benefit
in the hundreds of millions.

Title: NEW BOOK PROMPTS CALL FOR DIS-
CLOSURE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL-WEAPONS R&D
Primary Source: Trud, 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
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 .*
