DECLARATION ON TRAINING IN NONVIOLENCE

Adapted by THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PEACE AND NONVIOLENT ACTION

Held at Rajsamand, from February 17 to 21, 1991

Along with • Petition Submitted to UNO, UNESCO For the Creation of International Zones of Peace • A Suggested Course for Training in Nonviolence • Other important documents relating to the Second ICPNA Preface The Second International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action was held at Rajsamand (India) from February 17 to 21, '91. The main aim of the conference was to involve peace activists, theorists in nonviolent action, exponents of the philosophy of nonviolence, spiritual leaders and parliamentarians in formulating a universally acceptable plan for the training and orientation of people in ahimsa from a global perspective. Despite the Gulf War, a large number of delegates both from the overseas and from the host country came to Rajsamand to participate in this unique and significant conference which dealt at length with the questions of violence and nonviolence and reached the conclusion that it is only through the adoption of nonviolence by individuals, institutions and na- tions as a means to resolve conflict, the challenge of violence can be met effectively. Both Tulsi and Yuvacharya Mahapragya who were the main source of inspiration for the organization of the II ICPNA made panel presentations and recommended the launching of a worldwide campaign to educate and train people in ahimsa. The First ICPNA held at Ladnun in December, 1988 issued an action plan for the eradication of violence from this planet called Ladnun Declara- tion and recommended that a course of training in nonviolence should be evolved. It was in consonance with the spirit of that recommendation that the II ICPNA was organized at Rajsamand. I am pleased to say that the conference was a great success in that its aim was achieved. The most significant outcome of the II ICPNA was the adoption of Rajsamand Declaration on Training in Nonviolence at its closing session which was earlier discussed in a special session which lasted for about five hours. I feel a sense of exhilaration in bringing out this booklet containing For detailed information Rajsamand Declaration, a suggested course for training in nonviolence and please write to : some other important documents relating to the Second ICPNA such as S.L. GANDHI Acharya Tulsi's appeal to religious leaders, the text of the letter of HH the Follow-up Committee Rajsamand Declaration DALAI LAMA written to the former in response to his communication, and Second ICPNA the text of the petition submitted by Anuvibha to UNO, UNESCO and ANUVIBHA Security Council recommending the creation of International Zones of A-12, Anita Colony Peace.

We offer the Rajsamand Declaration on Training in Nonviolence (Ahimsa) for peace and sustainable development in the form of the following observations and recommendations : THE MEANING OF NONVIOLENCE The II ICPNA is a humble attempt to build a structure of peace and nonviolence. However, peace is not merely the absence of war nor nonviolence only abstinence from physical violence. It is a holistic and positive concept encompassing all manifestations of life and society on the Earth. It includes both structural peace and ecological balance. Nonviolence implies active and dynamic love, respect and reverence for all living beings that inhabit this planet, attributes of equality, human dignity, poise, harmony and resistance to tyranny and injustice. NEED OF TRAINING IN NONVIOLENCE For the past many years, humankind has evolved and invented numerous methods of training in violence and war. We have been spending enormous material, and human resources on them at the cost of mass hunger, illiteracy and environmental damage. Besides, violence has been growing menacingly in different forms. The complexity of the situation that the world faces today makes it mandatory for us to move further from the principle of peaceful co-existence

1 towards a more active principle of cooperation for peace and develop the requisite instruments for such cooperation. Hence, training in nonviolence is imperative in modern times. If we fail to evolve a viable scientific system to train and orient people in ahimsa, we shall be failing in our most important duty towards humanity and society. CONTENT OF THE TRAINING IN NONVIOLENCE To train people in nonviolence, we must combine the aspects of both individual and community growth and build an integrated personality with appropriate training of hand, head and heart which will facilitate the structural and functional excellence of social development. The objective of this training is to enable all peoples to gain an insightful understanding of nonviolence and peace and the spiritual values on which they rest, equip them with skills for individual and mass nonviolent action, prepare them for democratic leadership in conflict resolution through nonviolence and help them develop positive attitudes for harmonious living. STRATEGIES, TOOLS AND ORGANIZATION OF TRAINING IN NONVIOLENCE We seek participation of concerned young people from all over the world. Training in nonviolence has both its individual and social dimensions. It should employ such methods as meditation to bring about a change of heart and attitude in the individuals, persuasion, personal example, willingness to suffer rather than injure another, moral uprightness, practice of sharing one's resources with the other, faith in the essential goodness of all humans and regard for the basic human rights of all. The other tools of training may include regular classes, lectures, self- study, workshops, panel discussions, community living, games and sanitation. Training should encourage constructive programmes and social service. It should also take special care of developing the ability among the trainees to understand the pulse of the people, public opinion, training in communications and in audio visual programmes. Equally essential is the training in the organization and leadership of nonviolent action. It involves investigation of the problem, negotiation, conciliation, arbitration and other processes of conflict resolution such as mobilization of opinion, planning, preparation, use of different forms of nonviolent direct action including non-cooperation, civil disobedience and fasting etc. THE GLOBAL ROLE OF EDUCATION IN PEACE AND NONVIOLENCE Education is the most important instrument of training in nonviolence because it shapes and moulds the human mind. Training in nonviolence and peace should be introduced in education both at the formal and informal levels to bring about an attitudinal transformation. RECOMMENDATIONS We make the following recommendations and declare that their adoption by the institutions and individuals of the world will pave the way for a peaceful and nonviolent world order : 1. UNESCO, National Governments and Voluntary Organizations working in the field of education as well as in the other areas of human welfare should evolve a programme to introduce global peace education and training in nonviolence both at the formal and informal levels of education. 2. We the delegates to the II ICPNA who have helped in the formulation of this Declaration take upon us and recommend that all non-governmental organizations should endeavour to create awareness of the importance of nonviolence at all social levels in order that there might be a strong public opinion against expenditure on armaments and war, leading to a political determination to gradually abolish the institutions of war and in their place establish institutions of peace. 2 FOLLOW-UP PROGRAMME (a) For the proper implementation of the recommendations contained in the Declaration, a standing committee consisting of the representatives of the sponsoring organizations of the II ICPNA shall be constituted with Mr. S.L.

The Second International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action held at Rajsamand (India) under the aegis of ANUVRAT GLOBAL ORGANIZATION (ANUVIBHA) from February 17 to 21, 1991 aimed at evolving a viable system to train and orient people in ahimsa. About 150 delegates hailing from 21 countries including India participated in the deliberations and made some extremely useful suggestions. The eminent panelists who dealt with the various facets of ahimsa included Acharya Tulsi, Yuvacharya Mahapragya, Muni Mahendra Kumar, Ms. Patfoort, Mr. Narayan Desai, Dr. Samir K. Ghosh, Dr. Ramjee Singh, The Venerable Phra Phaisan Visalo, Dr. N. Radhakrishnan, Prof. S.K. De, Dr. Theodore Herman, Dr. Youchi Kawada, Dr. T.K.N. Unnithan, Dr. James E. Salisbury, Dr. Eremei Parnov, Mr David Wislon, Mr. Jan Fijllander, Dr Effendi, Ms Creuza Maciel, Dr Derkatch, Mr Bhai Chand Patel, Dr Saniyasnain Khan, Dr Sampooran Singh, Rev. Doboom Tulku, Dr Raman Lopez Reyes, Dr K.K. Mittal, Dr Jwala Raj Pandey, Shri Krishna Raj Mehta and Mr. Marko Hren. Besides, we had the benefit of listening to a large number of other peace academics, peace and nonviolence activists, social workers and internationally acclaimed scholars representing all continents. Acharya Tulsi and Yuvacharya Mahapragya, who were the main source of inspiration for the organizers of the II ICPNA and who have been practising ahimsa in thought, word and deed all along, exhorted the delegates to launch a worldwide campaign to train and orient people in ahimsa to counter the rising trend of organized violence. The Rajsamand Declaration on Training in Nonviolence issued at the end of the conference is a significant document which lays down a conceptual framework for the strategies of training in ahimsa. After the II ICPNA Acharya Tulsi and Yuvacharya Mahapragya gave serious thought to the issue of designing a universal course for training people in ahimsa during their long stay at Jaipur and after exchanging views with a large number of people connected with this field, they have recommended the following course for training in nonviolence. It consists of two parts i.e. (i) Training and Orientation in the Conceptual Understanding of Ahimsa and (ii) Practical Training based on some Innovative Experiments.

(A) THE TRAINING AND ORIENTATION IN THE CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF AHIMSA (Nonviolence trainers will expound the factors that help the flowering of ahimsa (nonviolence) and the consequential result) (i) Change of Heart : The Training of the Mind Human emotions like greed, fear, enmity, antagonism, vanity, cruelty, intolerance, absolutism in thought and action, desire for excessive consumption, abuse of environment, aggression between peoples, absence of a feeling of holism of the universe and the planet are responsible for violence and war. In order to bring about a change of heart, the individual must first gain an insightful understanding of the factors that lead to the rise of these tendencies in him and the means with which they can be curbed, controlled, refined and sublimated. The human mind needs to be thoroughly researched as the seeds of both ahimsa (nonviolence) and himsa (violence) take their roots in it. The training of the mind precedes all other things in a course meant for the training of people in ahimsa. 5 (ii) Inculcation of Cosmic Values : a Holistic Perspective This course is proposed to be geared to the needs of a nonviolent socio-political world order. The members of the global community ought to be trained and oriented in such a way that human and cosmic values like detachment towards the body and the matter, fearlessness, friendship, forgiveness, humility, compassion, communal harmony, tolerance of divergent views, relative thinking, relative behaviour, positive attitudes, selflessness, a sense of universal responsibility towards the world as an integral whole, abstinence from harming nature, respect for inherent human rights, consumption of resources in keeping with the satisfaction of the basic needs of all on which depend peace and sustainable development may blossom in them naturally. The above values can not be imposed on an individual from outside. They exist in all human beings but are often dormant. They must be awakened. (iii) The State of Good Health : a Prerequisite for the Growth of Nonviolence The following symptoms indicate lack of good health and it has been noticed that they give rise to violence. They include low percentage of glucose in the blood, the malfunctioning of spleen and liver, hyperacidity, inbalanced diet etc. The removal of these factors will result in the growth of ahimsa. (iv) Healthy Economy : a Must for the Ushering in of a Nonviolent Society The inculcation of such values as renunciation, non-acquisitiveness, decentralized economy, honesty in earning a living, desire for sharing in resources and consumption according to one's need will promote healthy economy and pave the way for the creation of a nonviolent society. (v) Transformation of Human Relationships One should refrain from behaving cruelly with the other. The relationships between the employers and the employees and the members of family should be cordial and harmonious. Training in co-existence, mutual adjustment and positive outlook will be imparted. (vi) Components of the Training in Ahimsa Faith in the purity of means and all the aspects of Preksha Dhyan (perceptive meditation) like Pranayam (breathing exercises), Kayotsarg (relaxation with self- awareness), perception of breathing, Leshya Dhyan (colour meditation), perception of phychic centres, Anupreksha (therapeutic thinking), a unique technique to develop the innate traits of human nature like fearlessness, tolerance, self-reliance, friendship, detachment, humility, compassion and communal harmony are some of the components of the training in ahimsa. (B) PRACTICAL TRAINING BASED ON INNOVATIVE EXPERIMENTS It will include practice, exercises and experiments in control of human emotions, promotion of the dignity of labour, fearlessness, tolerance, self-restraint, tapasya (austerity) and detachment. Petition submitted to UNO, UNESCO and Security Council for the Creation of International Zones of Peace

Petition on behalf of the Delegates to the Second International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action, organized by Anuvrat Global Organisation (ANUVIBHA), held at Rajsamand (India), supported by eminent citizens, spiritual leaders, peace activists and organizations, and prominent leaders of the people from different countries :

Feeling concerned about increasing acts of terrorism and violence spreading around the world, at local, national, regional and global levels arising from misunderstanding, all forms of intolerance, prejudices, and discrimination based particularly on religion and emanating from deep-rooted sociological and historical factors;

Being convinced that religion is an inseparable accompaniment of the human consciousness and it provides an anchorage to an individual as well as to a community in the vicissitudes of life and has been a source of spiritual enlightenment to the entire human race since time immemorial;

Having the experience of coming across at times in the course of mankind's religious history a melancholy spectacle of historic religions coming in conflict with each other on the basis of a claim to the sole monopoly of possession of truth and assertion of giving legitimacy to political authority, resulting in much bloodshed and agony;

Considering the social reality of the emergence of solidarity of a multi-religious and heterogenous one world flourishing with a continuous nourishment of cultural heritage and supported by modern scientific and technological advancements which have revolutionized human life and created global perspective in the arrangement of human affairs;

Being aware that the marvellous promise inherent in our age has the danger of being frittered away if organized mankind fails to develop the understanding, the vision and the requisite will-power to live in consonance with them and in harmony;

Being convinced that creation or emergence of one single religion with a single social order or a single set of values is not only unlikely but also undesirable and impossible, it is the unity with current diversity which is indispensable for harmonious living for the modern heterogenous human societies;

Fully realizing the great influence and achievements and enormous potentialities of great religions of the world, like Bahaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, , Islam, , Sikhism, Taoism, Zoroshtrianism as well as various other indigenous religions, to contribute to the cultural heritage of mankind in terms of philosophy, literature, art and architecture; We, the Delegates to the Second International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action, held from 17th to 21st February, 1991 at Rajsamand-, Rajasthan and supported 7 by eminent citizens, spiritual leaders, peace activists and organizations, and prominent leaders from different countries hereby submit a petition to the United Nations, its Security Council, General Assembly and the UNESCO with an Appeal :

(I) To adopt a Declaration on an International Convention as a supplement to the World Heritage Convention 1990, providing for any of their sacred sites, special places of worship and pilgrimage as well as places of religious, historical and cultural values registered with the UNO in advance for being recognized as International Zones of Peace with a view to preventing any damage or destruction and preserving the rich world heritage of mankind. (II) To take immediate steps in supporting Anuvrat Global Organization (ANUVIBHA) to convene a World Peace Conference of Top Spiritual and Religious Leaders of All Faiths with a view to taking effective, constructive and positive steps towards prevention of intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief, assuring of freedom of religion to all individuals, elimination of misuses and abuses of religious freedom, and cessation of all kinds of violence in thought, speech and action in the name of religion. (III) To institute a workable national global regional system of peaceful settlement of all controversies, disputes and conflicts relating to religion, belief or faith through goodwill, love, understanding and harmonious dialogue. On behalf of the delegates of the Second International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action.

UNITED NATIONS EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL

22 March 1991 Dear Mr. Gandhi,

Thank you for your letter of 6 March, co-signed by Ms. Jakic and Mr. Palta, to the Secretary-General enclosing a resolution and related materials for his consideration and appropriate action by the United Nations. I reply on the Secretary-General's behalf as part of my responsibilities for his peace studies activities with non-governmental organizations. Your request for the creation of a new International Convention on the naming of sacred, historic, or cultural sites as International Zones of Peace is a most interesting one. After it has been examined promptly by the offices responsible in the United Nations, I will provide you soon with a full response.

The Secretary-General is aware of your efforts for international harmony, and greatly appreciates your support for the World Organization.

Sincerely yours, JOHN L. WASHBURN Director Mr. S. L. Gandhi International Secretary ANUVIBHA, JAIPUR (India)

UNITED NATIONS EDUCATIONAL SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATION (UNESCO) PARIS, FRANCE

15 May, 1991 Dear Ms Jakic, Mr Gandhi and Mr Palta, On behalf of the Director-General, I wish to thank you for your letter of 6 March 1991 and for the enclosed documents concerning the resolution adopted at the Second International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action, Rajsmand, Udaipur (India), 17 to 21 February 1991. The text of this resolution regarding the creation of a new international convention under which scared sites, special places of worship and pilgrimage as well as places of historical and cultural importance would be declard as "International Zones of Peace" has been carefully considered by the Secretariat. The concern expressed by the participants in the Conferene, as well as by the eminent personalities supporting the resolution, is indeed directly in line with the constant efforts made by UNESCO over more than forty years to improve the protection of cultural property. As you know, the Organization has promoted the adoption of international conventions in accordance 9 with its mandate to protect the cultural heritage. One of these conventions is the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, to which you refer in your letter. Under Article 6.3 of this Convention, which was adopted in 1972, each State Party undertakes not to take any deliberate measures which might damage directly or indirectly the cultural and natural heritage protected by the Convention and situated on the territory of other States Parties. You will find attached the list of these States Parties as well as the list of the 337 sites which have so far been included in the World Hertiage List and are, therefore, protected by this Convention. Another important instrument adopted under the auspices of UNESCO is the Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict (The Hague, 1954). Under its provisions, States Parties may place immovable property of great importance under "Special Protection" by entering it in an International Register. According to Article 9 of the Convention, the States Parties undertake to ensure the immunity of such property by refraining from any act of hostility directed against it and, except in cases specifically defined by the Convention, from any use of such property or its surroundings for military purposes. You will find attached a copy of the Convention, the Regulations for its execution and the Protocol to it, the list of the 77 States Parties, as well as copies of documents concerning the International Register which may be useful to you. You will notice that although a large number of cultural sites have been included in the "World Heritage List" established under the 1972 Convention, only four States have registered property in the International Register of Cultural Property under Special Protection established under the 1954 Convention. However, you may be interested to note that one of the entries on the Register, the Vatican City, is of great importance, not only to the Cultural heritage, but also for what it means to millions of believers. The application of these instruments, especially in the event of armed conflict, is not an easy task. UNESCO spares no effort to invite Member States to ratify the Conventions and to assist those which are already States Parties in discharging their obligations, in particular by disseminating the text of the Convention so that its principles are made known widely, and especially to the armed forces and personnel engaged in the protection of cultural property. For that purpose, the Secretariat cooperates, in particular, with intergovernmental and non- governmental organizations concerned. So rather than promoting the drawing up of a new international convention, UNESCO is devoting its efforts to the wider application of the existing instruments, especially when property of great importance to the cultural heritage is threatened by war. The cooperation of such eminent personalities, religious leaders and organizations as those that endorsed the resolution adopted at the Second International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action would be most welcome, for it could contribute to the further promotion of the Conventions adopted under the aegis of UNESCO. Personally, I should be very glad to meet you at your convenience in order to discuss the forms such co-operation might take. Yours sincerely, For Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences Raul Urzu Director, Division of Population and Human Settlements

10 Acharya Shri Tulsi's Appeal to Religious Leaders It is apparent that the dreadful conditions of late have threatened the whole world with extinction. Despite the fact that all people desire world peace, no effective way has yet been found to establish it. In such a situation and at such time, it becomes the responsibility of all leaders to show the light, that all peoples may live in peace. In fact, none other than they can bring this yearning of humanity to fruition. This awareness was present at the Second International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action (ICPNA), organized by ANUVRAT Global Organisation (ANUVIBHA), held at Rajsamand (India), when all the participants unanimously agreed that to promote world peace, training in nonviolence at all levels of education is imperative. I fully support the ideal to promote settlement of all disputes through the means of a dialogue as well as the prevention and cessation of all hostilities in the name of religion. It pleases me to learn that the delegates of this Conference requested ANUVIBHA to act as a co-ordinator for the proposed 'World Peace Conference of Top Religious and Spiritual Leaders', which will, hopefully, show the world a united leadership intent upon creating a positive world opinion that favours world peace through nonviolence and self-discipline. I consider the forthcoming Conference one of the most constructive endeavours towards the ushering in of a more fulfilling, nonviolent world order. Therefore, I sincerely hope that the world religious and spiritual leaders will be instrumental in translating this dream of a lasting peace into reality.

Letter from H H the Dalai Lama to H H Acharya Tulsi March 15, 1991

Dear Acharya Shri Tulsi, Thank you for your letter of March 6, 1991. The sentiments expressed by you are appreciated. I, too, have been deeply distressed by the recent war in the Gulf region, but there was not much that I could do. All I could do was make earnest appeals to the parties concerned. I did with Presidents Bush, Gorbachev and Saddam Hussein. These were of not much avail. However, I am glad that the war has ended now. It is now important to think of peace in that region on a long term basis. I certainly support the concept behind the proposal to hold a Conference of Religious and Spiritual Leaders. My support is obvious because of my strong belief in inter-religious understanding and the contribution that the religious groups can make for a more harmonious and happier world. I am glad to learn that your II International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action was successfully concluded. With prayers and good wishes, Yours sincerely, DALAI LAMA 11 Most Important Proposal put forward by Dr Robert Muller and Its Adoption by Second ICPNA

Dear Mr Gandhi, During the last few years the practice has developed to convene under United Nations auspices a number of meetings of eminent persons, presided by a Head of State, to deal with one of the most burning issues of our planet. Thus we had a meeting and report of eminent persons on the question of North-South (presided by German Chancellor Willy Brand), another on disarmament headed by Mr. Olof Palme and a third recent one on environment and sustainable development, presided by Mrs. Brundland, the Prime Minister of Norway. The latter report has led directly to the convening in 1992 in Brazil of a Second World Conference on Environment and Development at the head of states level. I would suggest that your conference recommend to the President of India that he take initiative with the United Nations Secretary-General of convening another group of eminent persons to make a world report and recommendations on the question of violence and nonviolence. Perhaps the President of India would wish to head such a group himself, given the prominent thinking and tradition of nonviolence in his country. The group of eminent persons should deal with all forms of violence in the world today : physical violence, verbal and visual violence, and mental violence. It should deal with violence against children, in the family, in communities, in the streets, among religions, in international relations, among all groups on this planet, including violence against our brothers and sisters, animals and violence against our Mother Earth. The report of your conference could furnish a proposed agenda for such a group of eminent persons, as well as indicate the remedies against all forms of violence which prevail at this moment in the world, including and above all spiritual values for which your country again is of prophetic significance. Your report should be the first working document of such a group, submitted to it by the President of India, it is to be noted that the reports of such groups are published in several of the main languages and are issued in large quantities. They should receive an ever-growing echo in the media and the public, as was shown by the latest report on the environment which is today a classic. And similarly the report and recommendations of the new group suggested could lead soon, thereafter, to a world conference, possibly held in India. I believe such a report and conference are an absolute must prior to the advent of the third millennium, at the end of this century. Given the urgency and the importance of the issue, I would only make one amendment to the procedures of the former groups of eminent persons : the members should all be heads of states, the group should be called Group of Eminent Heads of States on the question of violence and nonviolence in the world. The time has come when heads of states themselves should work together in groups on the substantive global and common problems facing this planet of which they are the administrators. They could learn so much and inspire each other so much. Of course, they would appoint some of the world's best experts to assist them in that work. The University for Peace would, of course, be honoured and happy to participate most actively in such a venture. We would be even ready to serve as the executive secretariat of it. With all our love and good wishes Om Shanti Robert Muller (Purushottama) Chancellor University for Peace COSTA RICA

12 The line of action recommended by II ICPNA to implement Dr. Robert Muller's proposal

The President of India, Mr. R. Venkataraman should be approached with the proposal that he, together with the UN Secretary General, Mr. Perez de Cuelliar, take the initiative to call for the formation of a GROUP OF EMINENT HEADS OF STATES TO CONSIDER THE QUESTION OF VIOLENCE AND NONVIOLENCE IN THE WORLD.

The Group of Eminent Heads of States should prepare a report on the role of violence in present global society and also make suggestions and recommendations as to where and how violence can be diminished and substituted with nonviolent processes.

The role of ethnic, national, cultural, religious and general spiritual values in this context should be explored. All forms of ethnic, physical, verbal, visual and mental violence as well as de facto structural violence should be considered. The immediate and long-term effects of violence against children, between the sexes, in the family, in communities, among religions and ethnic groups, between states and groups of states - should be considered as well as violence against animals, our environment and our planet, Mother Earth as such.

The report on violence by the group of Eminent Heads of States could, with its recommendations form the basis for a United Nations Special Conference on Violence and Nonviolence to be held before entering into the third millenium, at the end of this century.

We humbly recommend the Ladnun Declaration and Rajsamand Declaration as a basis for a proposed agenda for such a group of Eminent Heads of States. ANUVIBHA should act in the manner it feels fit on the above line of action.

The above resolution was moved by Mr Jan Fjellander, Cooperation for Peace, Sweden and was seconded by many delegates. Dr. Carol Bruce read out Dr. Robert Muller's letter.
