CHAPTER TWELVE made several objections to your report. He feels that you have misinterpreted some of the equations in his paper.' I shrugged my shoulders and smiled. 'I think it's the other way about. Puharich hasn't understood his own equations. Still, if he thinks I'm wrong then I'd be happy to discuss it with him.' 'Would you be willing to meet Puharich and go over the paper with him?' Andrew asked. 'Sure. Just arrange a time and give me a call. I think it's very important that everything should be done out in the open. If he believes I've made a mistake and he can show me, then I'll be willing to apologize in print, if you like.' With our coffee we began to chat about other topics. I realized that neither Andrew nor the senator had tried to argue with me or dispute my conclusions. One of us brought up the topic of Russian experiments and Andrew began to hint at more sinister possibilities - control of behaviour and interference with the human brain. At the time I was not sure where all this came from but later I was to piece it together into some sort of pattern. After our meal, the senator invited me to his rooms for another talk. We strolled along the corridors to his comfortable office with its books lining the walls and heaped in piles on the floor. Carter went over to a cabinet, looked through it for some moments and then found a paper, which he handed to me. 'Tesla actually transmitted power in Canada. Arthur Matthews was with him.' I examined the paper he had given me: it was a map of a portion of Quebec and lines were drawn across it linking several locations. 'Matthews is an old man now but if you were to look in the bush you'd probably find some of the apparatus.' I handed the paper back: 'Look, I can't say that it's impossible or that it can never work. All I can tell you is that the explanations and theories which Tesla and Puharich or anyone else has put forward don't hold water. I've tried to be open and honest in this investigation, I've tried to follow all the leads, but I can't go any further than that. I've no reason to think that power transmission could ever work.' 108
