Open AI Summary
This document is a 555-word article titled "Parapsychology Update" by Constance Holden. It discusses the interest in parapsychology by members of Congress, particularly Senator Claiborne Pell. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) has been asked to report on parapsychology research in the United States, which is mostly funded privately. In contrast, the Soviet Union is reported to have significant funding for parapsychology research, with speculation reaching tens of millions of dollars. The article also mentions that the People's Republic of China has developed an interest in parapsychology, including psychic healing. In the United States, psychologists have led the exploration of the field, but physicists are increasingly involved. The article highlights remote viewing experiments conducted by physicist Harold Puthoff at Stanford Research Institute as producing some of the most striking results in parapsychology so far.

... research in the United States, almost all from private sources. In
contrast, research is more or less thriving in the Soviet Union where
speculation puts the funding at tens of millions of dollars. However, the only
recognized application is dowsing, which is taught to mineralogists and
geologists at the Omsk Polytechnical Institute. The People's Republic of China
is said to have developed a fairly recent interest in parapsychology, including
psychic healing.

So far, the most striking results appear to be coming from remote viewing
experiments. At Stanford Research Institute physicist Harold Puthoff is
