Under the prodding of Senators Pressler and Tsongas, 2 FUSION July-August 1984 Editorial fectiveness is that the Soviets could rebuild their entire missile force so that the boost phase of a missile would be complete before the missile leaves the atmosphere—but this rebuilding would take 20 years. Thus Soviet missiles will remain vulnerable to U.S. X-ray laser defense for quite a while, giving us time to come up with new defenses. Who Is the Soviet Lobby? One of the most startling aspects of the fight for beam defense is to see how successful the Soviets have been in influencing both ends of the U.S. political spectrum to pro­ mote Soviet policy. The crowd around Richard Garwin and Kosta Tsipis, for example, openly travels on the left (so openly, in fact, that former Washington governor Dixy Lee Ray called Garwin a "traitor" at an international meeting on beam defense a year ago). Their line of attack against beam weapons, however, dovetails with that of the so-called right- wing crowd around General Graham. The Graham group claims to support the development of ABM systems and the concept of mutually assured survival. Yet, by opposing the development of directed energy beam weapons—beam defense based on new physical principles—at this time they are working to undermine the only effective system for a layered beam defense. The line of the so-called right wing is that laser and asso­ ciated defensive weapons are diverting funds from less so­ phisticated kill systems—and besides, they say, beam weapons may not work. Of course, Graham et al. fail to admit that their program is a guaranteed 50 percent failure, according to SDI manager Lt. General Abrahamson, even though it involves a proven technology. Now a nasty coalition of these traitors has been formed: &S?tO f the National Campaign to Save the ABM treaty. In addition to former President Jimmy Carter and dean of the Demo­ cratic Party Averell Harriman, its leading spokesmen in­ clude former military advisor Richard Garwin, former na­ tional security advisor McGeorge Bundy, former secretary Line of state Cyrus Vance, and General Maxwell Taylor. These are the same men who 20 years ago were known as the "butchers of Vietnam." They created that bloody war as a key liberal spokesmen in the drive to sabotage this coun­ no-win situation whose only purpose was to target as large try's beam weapon effort, the Congressional Office of a population as possible for destruction.

Our rapid growth in 1980 meant that the McCormack fusion bill became law and made possible America's renewed commitment to scientific progress. But making progress costs money. The FEF and the United States face greater challenges in 1981. And as we grow and expand our activities, we can ensure that the new administration fulfills its mandate for economic growth. In 1979 alone, more than 22 million dollars was given to zero-growth groups by just six foundations. * Our fight requires this kind of funding—and more.

It is the only science magazine fighting to continue the American tradition of progress. The printing and mailing of our 1982 issues have been delayed because of our financial difficulties—difficulties that have been fostered by the same forces who bankroll the nuclear freeze and environmentalist movements. We resumed regular publication in September 1982 with a special format issue of Fusion. This November issue, which contains feature material from the unpublished May 1982 issue, is our third special format issue. We plan to continue to publish more than one issue a month in order to send readers the highlights of all the back issues we have prepared, plus new materials. How fast we can catch up to our regular schedule and our full 64-page format depends on you. With your financial help, we can win this fight for America, and get Fusion out regularly to its 200,000 readers. • Join the Fusion Energy Foundation today.
