                     requires an intense personal involve-
                     ment which could easily I?ad to a
                     c'rcus-type atmosphere for first-hand
                     o~servaV 'on. This 4s very undesirable,
                     possibly detrimental,, ane. excluded
                     by the human use protocols.

                     We don't think we fooled ourselves

                     existence of such phenomena.

                     being currently provided to known
                     areas of science with "hard"
                     proven potential to waste
                     s'!gnificant resources on an area
                     as "soft" as this.
                     The potential military applications,
                     of this phenomena, are extremely
                     important and only a few are working
                     on this area.
                          5. 'he form of the raw product
                     could, and at times in the
