 SUBJECT:     Proxmire Response Re Psychoenergetics
 Since fear of the "Proxmire Effect" is often cited in discussions
 with sponsors and potential sponsors,  I asked a friend of mine in
 psychoenergetics research (who was originally from Wisconsin) to query
 his senator with regard to this field.  The original letter and
 Senator Proxmire's response are attached.   I am circulating copies to
 appropriate government officials.
