Subject: Prometheus Project: Totals

The Prometheus Project:

      Convincingly demonstrated, scientifically proven and published,
      fully reversible long-term brain cryopreservation within 10 years.

Latest Pledge Totals

     As of midnight PDT July 30, 1996, the total of pledges is $212,200 per
year for each of 10 years. Keith Lynch announced his pledge for $2,000 per
year and Ken Stone announced his pledge for $1,200 per year on the Internet.
I am particularly gratified to receive these two pledges because each of the
pledgers, for different reasons, have had reservations about the Project.
Keith was concerned about the proposed scientific method, but became
sufficiently convinced about the rationality of the methods which were being
proposed after a meeting with the chief scientist involved with the project
during this past weekend. Ken had been concerned about the fairness of the
shareholder benefit and reward arrangements, and about the control of the
company and the resulting technology. I believe that recent changes to these
arrangements and testimonials from various people about those behind the
project have eased his concerns. In his pledge message Ken urged all $1,000
per year pledgers to consider increasing their pledges to $100 per month for
a yearly total of $1,200 as he has done. Of course, I certainly agree with
his urging.

     Pledge totals in each dollar level are now:

          3 for $25,000 per year for 10 years,
          8 for $10,000 per year for 10 years,
          5 for $5,000 per year for 10 years,
          1 for $4,000 per year for 10 years,
          1 for $3,000 per year for 10 years,
          3 for $2,000 per year for 10 years,
          1 for $1,200 per year for 10 years,
          18 for $1,000 per year for 10 years.

The 40 pledges total $2,122,000 over all ten years.

Pledge totals per year by national origin:

     Australia                  $2,500
     Canada                    $22,000
     France                     $2,000
     United States            $180,700
     No country                 $5,000

     There are still many cryonicists who are dedicated and active on these
lists, who we haven't heard from. Several *have* come forward lately - Thomas
Donaldson, Mike Perry, John Clark, Ben Best, even Keith Lynch and Ken Stone
who had serious questions and doubts. Where are the others who we used to
hear from so often? If you have some problem with the Project please let me
know.
