L. L. Vasil'yev, 1961 iii - UNCLASSIFIED (Reverse Blank) DST-18108-202-78-Chg 1 4 February 1980 PREFACE (-9) The purpose of this study is to review and assess Warsaw Pact country activities in paraphysics research. This includes aasessment of trends, current research, and potential future achievements. Main concentration is on the USSR. Those topics that are considered of high potential are emphasized, although other topics that may have an indirect influence are also considered. This study has also been updated to include recent paraphysics research and activities that have occurred since the 1978 publication of the original study. tQt This product is intended for use by US Department of Defense research facilities, the intelligence community, and other government agencies.
