YOU'VE GOT TO hand it to anyone who can create a readable novel out of

The Samarkand Dimension, an arresting and engaging spy thriller in which blind
for the launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base, the CIA literally gets
some very bad vibes, namely that the Soviets have sabotaged the project through
telekinesis -- the ability to move objects through mental concentration. The
agency taps one of its most tried and trusted agents, Markham, to penetrate the
Soviet parapsychology facility at Samarkand, deep in Soviet Central Asia. His
orders are simple: Report back on the state of Soviet research into the
paranormal. And, in the event that his cover is blown and he elects not to kill

interrogators. When his seemingly airtight cover is unexpectedly shredded, the
Soviets start demanding hard answers, and the whole operation unravels with

Jimmy Carter was worried about the Soviet threat in 1976 before he was
inaugurated President, according to Mr. McRae, and had a private audience with
Jri Geller. The Israeli mentalist told him that the Soviet Union screened all
children for paranormal powers. In 1977, Mr. McRae says, Mr. Carter ordered a
nigh-level review of Soviet psychic research. The secret report, completed in
1978, found no evidence of a massive ''psycho-warfare'' project such as Mr.
Deller had warned of, but it did find definite Soviet interest. White House
officials in office during the Carter Administration say either that they had no
!knowledge of such Presidential concern or that they can neither confirm nor deny
that it existed.
The Russian side of the parapsychology story is emphasized in ''Psychic

states that ''the major impetus behind the Soviet drive to harness the possible
capabilities of telepathic communication, telekinetics and bionics are said to
come from the Soviet military and the K.G.B.
Mr. Ebon devotes a chapter to the knotty problem of how Soviet materialism
can accommodate itself to a belief in parapsychology, which in the eyes of some
Western analysts is but a short step to the anathema of Karl Marx - the
supernatural. ''In the Soviet Union itself,'' he writes, ''bureaucratic and
academic pragmatists are at odds with dogmatic ideologues. Within the Soviet
bloc, positions range from the determinedly experimental in Czechoslovakia to
the disdainfully hostile in East Germany.

BODY:
The United States should undertake more research into potential mind-control
weapons to counter Soviet advances in "psychotronic warfare," according to a
U.S. Army study disclosed in a new book.
The Pentagon study, author Martin Ebon writes, reported that the Soviet
Union appears to have made "significant progress" toward developing psychic
weaponry that could play a role on future battlefields.
Ebon contended that mind-altering effects or "remote monitoring of brain wave
activity" were among possible reasons behind the Soviet microwave bombardment of
the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
"Soviet scientists view the brain as an apparatus available for probing and
manipulation," he said. "They are well aware that perfected techniques in ...

effects is either scientifically unsound or fraudulent. Other skeptics argue

An additional possibility is that the beams may have been "used to 'read

York-based professional writer specializing in Soviet affairs.

HEADLINE: Committee Recommends Assessment of Parapsychology
BYLINE: By BARTON REPPERT, Associated Press Writer
DATELINE: WASHINGTON
BODY:
The esoteric world of parapsychology may now merit a "serious assessment" by
Congress to help decide whether further research is warranted, according to a
study prepared for the House Science and Technology Committee.
Parapsychology, which involves heavily disputed phenomena such as "remote
viewing" and influencing people at a distance through mental powers, is among
more than 150 science and technology issues included ...
... two years to compile tI 530-page survey.
The report's section on "the physics of consciousness" said recent
experiments in remote viewing and other aspects of parapsychology "suggest that
there exists an 'interconnectiveness' of the human mind with other minds and
with matter."
Experiments on person-to-person phenomena have offered " ...
... other areas such as investigative work, education and "mind-initiated
cures" in medicine.
The study observed that U.S. research in parapsychology has received
relatively low financial backing "largely because the credibility and potential
yield of such research is widely questioned, although less today than ever
before."
"Given the potentially powerful and far-reaching implications of knowledge in
this field, and -given that the Soviet union is widely acknowledged to be
supporting such research at a far higher and more officiarl level, Congress may
wish to undertake ... > ~^
