 Dear Hal and Russ,
 I finally received a reply from Senator Proxmire which seems
 rather encouraging.   I hope that you will still have an opportunity
 to use this with your potential funding sources.
 He never responded to the original letter which I sent him
 several months ago.   Perhaps it was too complicated or aggressive.
 Recently I sent another letter.   I don't have a copy of the
 original, but I  am sending you a copy of the rough draft on which
 my letter to the Senator was based.   The final copy is just a bit
 more polished.   Although the second letter doesn't mention your
 work as specifically as the first letter, I did send him a copy of
 the UC Extension brochure for the summer program which lists both
 of you as lecturers--as well as Ed and Elizabeth.
 I believe that I will complete the initial statistical analysis
 of my remote-viewing data sometime in the next week.   Hope and
 Elizabeth have now finished the judging.   It's clear to me that
 at different times during the training program everyone in my group
 exhibited greater than 90% accuracy in remote viewing--with perhaps
 one or two exceptions.   Often the most striking instances were not
 during the formal experiments.    I hope to have the complete
 dissertation finished by mid  November.
 Best of luck in your own work.   I hope that we can work
 together on some future projects.   (Today I am meeting with the
 president of an oil company to analyze some pilot remote-viewing
 experiments on four of his oil fields.)
