The Parapsychological Association (PA) is an international professional 
organization of scientists and scholars interested in the serious 
study of so-called psi phenomena.  The PA has been an affiliate of the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) since 1969;
the membership is currently about 300.

As in any scientific field, there is an enormous amount of material on 
this topic available for study if one takes the time to find it.  Unlike 
other fields, however, this one has been plagued with more than its share 
of irrational behavior on the part of proponents and skeptics alike, 
which has only served to obscure what is scientifically known about 
such phenomena.  The fact is that there are about three dozen scientists 
in the free world -- mostly physicists, engineers, and psychologists --
who are working full-time in this field.

I am the Public Information Officer of the PA for 1986.  If you
have questions about this organization, or about contemporary
research methods and topics, send me mail.  (Anticipating a likely 
question, let me mention that among the requirements for membership 
in the PA are a Ph.D. from an accredited university, demonstrated 
scholarship in a recognized discipline, and serious interest in the 
study of psi phenomena.)
