of software and hardware associ-

program that could be procured
for as little as $80,000.
"As far as it has become possi-

contents of human beings despite
their will and consciousness by
instrumental means ... results
having been achieved can get out

'World opinion is not ready for

Janet Morris of the Global
Strategy Council, a Washington-
based think tank established by
Ray Cline, former Central Intelli-
gence Agency deputy director, is
a key V.S. liaison between Rus-
sian and U.S. officials.
     In a Dec. 15 interview, Morris
said she and the Richmond, Va.-
based International Healthline
Corp. have briefed senior U.S. in-
telligence and Army officials



about the Russian capabilities,
which Morris said could include
hand-held devices for purposes
of special operations, crowd con-
trol and antipersonnel actions.
Healthline Corp. is evaluating
Russian health care technologies
and will underwrite Russian dem-
onstrations in the United States.
"We talked about using this to
screen and prepare special oper-
ations personnel for extremely
difficult missions and ways in
which this could be integrated
into doctrine for [psychological
operations]," Morris said.
     She said Army officials were
concemed about the capability
being directed against armored
systems and personnel through
electronic communications links.
Ground troops, she said, risk ex-
posure to bone-conducting sound
waves that cartnot be offset by
earplugs or.other current protec-
tive gear. Monis added that U.S.
countermeasures could include
sound cancellation, a complex
process that involves broadcast-
ing oppositely phased wave
forms in precisely matched
frequencies.
     Maj. Pete Keating, a U.S. Army
spokesman, said senior Army of-
ficials had expressed interest in
reviewing Russian capabilities
but that repeated plans to sched-
ule visits to the former Soviet
Union were rejected by Donald
Atwood, deputy secretary of de-
fense. Keating said he was unfa-
miliar with the mind-control tech-
nology 'and could not discuss

to place the mind-control capabil-

     At least one senior U.S. sena-
tor, government intelligence offi-
cials- and; the U.S. Army's Office
for Operations, Plans and Force
Development-are interested in re-
viewing the Russian capabilities,
U.S. sources said.
     In addition, International
Healthline Corp. is planning to
bring a team of Russian special-
ists here within the next couple
of months to demonst-ate the ca-
pability, company President Jim
Hovis said in a Dec. 2 interview.
     Meanwhile, the U.S. Army's Ar-
mament Research, Development
& Engineering Center is conduct-
ing a one-year study of acoustic
beam technology that may mirror
some of. the effects reported by
the Russians.

Scientific Applications & Re-
search Associates of Huntington
Beach, Calif. Related research is
being conducted at the Moscow-
based Andreev Institute, U.S. and
Russian sources said.
     Despite the growing interest in
a capability truditionally reserved
for science fiction novels and cin-
ema, industry and academic ex-
perts are'cautious and skeptical
about its potential battlefield use.
@ "This is not something that
strikes me as requiring high-level
attention," Raymond Garthoff, a
defense andintelligence analyst
at the Washington-based Brook-
ings Institution, said in a Dec.2
interview.
Morris contends that the capa-
bility has been demonstrated in



the laboratory in Russia and
should be placed under intema-
tional restr1@fions at the earliest
possible oppoAunity.
