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.)
