looking severely professional as befits a senior research scientist at a national
laboratory.

The discussion bounced from topic to topic, as if the participants were in a
hurry to get the formal meeting over and meet informally. Canada was involved in an
experimental aircraft that flew to 150 miles in 1987 from microwave power beamed
from the ground, Manning learned. ARCO, Raytheon, Jet Propulsion Laboratory and
Japanese scientists made history in microwave-power beaming, These aircraft or
satellite projects can be used for surveillance, the speakers bragged. Or to relay power
for "development of remote natural resources".

One well-dressed man stood up and asked for cooperation among the
champions of laser beaming and the proponents of microwave beaming, "...to find
out what the stuff can do. Let's get a team together and solicit money from the folks
with the pocketbooks."

A project engineer for a large university's Center for Space Power was asked
about environmental effects of microwave power beaming. He replied that the biggest
challenge for the people in the room was the public perception of an environmental
impact. Studies about microwave energy and microwave ovens were done in the
1970's and '80's, he noted, but since then the bulk of the environmental studies have
focused on 60-hz transmission lines. "But I think, with the data that's out there, you
can show that at the power densities we're talking about operating, there certainly
will not be any thermal effects, and the power densities where the people will be
going close to the beam will be such that you're not going to have a problem."

To Manning's surprise, he admitted that "the big question is 'what (when
people are exposed to power-beaming) are the effects from low-density, long-term
duration?' There hasn't been any kind of study on that, and that's going to be such a
detailed involved intensive study that it's not going to be done in the near future.
Because there's no mandate."

Manning swore quietly into her tape recorder. "Then why in the world are
they asking for money to build their toys before such a study is done?" She didn't ask
the question aloud, because she wanted to hear as much as possible from the next
speaker - the president of APTI. Perhaps she could find out if the beaming to
ionosphere experiment had been canceled,

Dr. Shanny was a rather swarthy and large man, dressed in a well-tailored
dark suit, His presentation was brief, with an audiovisual about ARCO's experiment in
beaming microwave power to an aircraft in Canada, and a few comments. Perhaps
being there was more important than giving a detailed report.

Afterward, Manning waited outside the meeting room door on the
sun-dazzled patio, and stopped Shanny as he came out. She introduced herself with
her business card from Explore! magazine, then asked him about the status of the
Bernard Eastlund patented technology.
