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 fi ms 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.* both times. As a result, we failed to receive about 3 billion dollars in the last 5 years alone.
