I was just reminded by Martin Kalinowski that he volunteered to be the Convenor for the Abolition 2000 Working Group on Fissile Materials which we will now call Weapons Usable Radioactive Materials in order to include tritium, which is not fissionable but IS fusionable and a weapons-usable radioactive material.

Further, a large majority (59% against 37%) now say it would be best for Britain's security if we do not have nuclear weapons. An even larger majority (63% against 36%) disagree with spending 1,500 million pounds per year of public money to maintain a nuclear deterrent. Finally, a clear majority (54% against 42%) would support immediate steps to withdraw Trident nuclear warheads from deployment at sea and place them in storage. The findings of the poll commissioned from the Gallup Organisation by the UK Nuclear Free Local Authorities (2), as part of their work with Abolition 2000-UK (3), are released ahead of Thursday's Labour Party Conference defence debate on the future of Trident. The poll results come as the Government continues to consider through its Defence Review how, in the Foreign Secretary's words (4), to "...seize the opportunity provided by the end of the Cold War to push forward the arms control agenda." Responding to the Gallup findings, Nuclear Free Local Authorities' Chair, Leeds City Councillor, Martin Hemingway said: "This research shows the Government can be confident of public support if it acts to break the log jam in international nuclear disarmament negotiations. Taking Trident off alert and placing its nuclear weapons in storage would send a clear signal to the international community that Britain is serious about achieving the abolition of nuclear weapons in the next Century." Frank Blackaby, President of Abolition 2000-UK, said: "Wherever this poll has been conducted, it shows that over 80% of the public want negotiations to start, to rid the world of these terrible weapons. There are World conventions banning chemical weapons and biological weapons: Britain has ratified them both. We now need a Nuclear Weapons Convention to be negotiated by the year 2000. The British Government should take the lead to bring this about." 101.03.txt[5/1/2017 4:14:19 PM] The Gallup results reinforce findings of a similar US survey commissioned by Abolition 2000 in March 1997. This showed 87% of Americans would support their Government if it opened negotiations on a treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons (5). This latest UK survey also confirms a growing trend in public opinion here against nuclear weapons. In the last poll, also by Gallup in the Autumn of 1995, 51% did not want nuclear weapons for Britain's security while 39% did. END Further information: Stewart Kemp, NFLAs: (mobile) + 44 468 743996 Frances Connelly, Abolition 2000-UK: + 44 171 354 9911 Notes 1. The Gallup survey was conducted between 5-10 September 1997 and tested the opinion of a representative sample (by age, social class and geographic location) of 1008 people to five questions about UK nuclear weapons policy and practice. The research was commissioned by the UK Steering Committee for Nuclear Free Local Authorities to find out current attitudes of local citizens. 5 questions were asked and these are set out below together with the aggregated responses: * What do you think will be the most serious and threatening international problem, which will have consequences for your community in the future? Conflicts based on nationalism: 8% Immigration and Refugees: 7% Environmental Crises: 24% Disease (eg. AIDs): 9% Nuclear Weapons: 14% Over Population: 13% Energy Crises: 6% Terrorism: 14% None of the Above: 2% Don't Know: 2% * Do you think it will be best for the security of your community if Britain does or does not have nuclear weapons? Does have nuclear weapons: 36% Does not have nuclear weapons: 59% Don't Know: 4% Refused: 1% * To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Spending £1.5 billion pounds each year to maintain Britain's nuclear weapons is a necessary use of public resources? Strongly Agree: 12% Somewhat Agree: 24% 101.03.txt[5/1/2017 4:14:19 PM] Somewhat Disagree: 22% Strongly Disagree: 41% Don't Know: 1% * You may be aware that a Royal Navy Trident submarine is currently on patrol at immediate readiness to launch nuclear tipped missiles. With the end of the Cold War, to what extent do you agree or disagree that Trident's nuclear warheads should be placed in storage? Strongly Agree: 27% Somewhat Agree: 27% Somewhat Disagree: 20% Strongly Disagree: 22% Don't Know: 3% * Britain has signed global treaties to prohibit and eliminate chemical and biological weapons. Do you strongly agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree or strongly disagree that Britain should help to negotiate a global treaty to prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons? Strongly Agree: 73% Somewhat Agree: 14% Somewhat Disagree: 5% Strongly Disagree: 6% Don't Know: 2% 2. 118 local authorities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland exercise their powers to work together in practical ways to promote a nuclear free future. 3. Abolition 2000 UK is supported by leading UK non governmental organisations which work together to promote peace and a nuclear free future. Abolition 2000 UK is part of the international Abolition 2000 movement, supported by over 700 non governmental organisations world-wide, which aims to secure by the year 2000 an international agreement binding all the nuclear weapon states to a timetable for nuclear disarmament in the 21st Century. 4.

In a nation-wide poll of 1006 Americans, conducted by Lake Sosin Snell & Associates in March 1997, 84% said they would feel safer in a world without nuclear weapons; 87% wanted their Government to negotiate an agreement to eliminate nuclear weapons; and 77% thought too many tax dollars were spent on nuclear weapons. **************************************************************** Nuclear Free Local Authorities Tel: + 44 (0) 161 831 9108 Town Hall Fax: + 44 (0) 161 835 3645 Manchester M60 2LA UK Email: [email protected] Web Site: http://www.gn.apc.org/nfznsc/ **************************************************************** 101.03.txt[5/1/2017 4:14:19 PM] 101.03.txt[5/1/2017 4:14:19 PM] Return-Path: <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 01 Oct 1997 16:54:23 -0400 From: Bob Tiller <[email protected]> Organization: Physicians for Social Responsibility To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Subject: Draft sign-on letter on SSM First Draft ------ sign-on letter on SSM COMMENTS ON THE TEXT DUE TO BOB TILLER BY 12:00 NOON ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7TH ------- 202-898-0150 ext 220, <[email protected]> Dear Senator/Representative: We are writing to express our deep concern about the Department of Energy's Stockpile Stewardship and Management program for our nation's nuclear weapons complex.

  • NDE's Sacred Peace Walk 2007 Packet
    ***Sacred Peace Walk 2007 Welcome Packet*** Hello, Thanks so much for your interest in the 2007 Sacred Peace Walk! We are really excited that you are coming. In this packet you will find materials to help you prepare for the walk. Some items are logistical, others spiritual, others informational on the nuclear issue. We have also included more logistical information down at the bottom. We will be walking through a highly militarized zone: Nellis Airforce Base hosts 902 nuclear weapons; the Nellis Bombing Range and the Nevada Test Site have been site of Depleted Uranium testing and disposal; unmanned Predator planes which drop bombs in Iraq are controlled from Indian Springs; and the Test Site itself has seen 1,044 nuclear bombings. This summer will be the 10 th anniversary of the resumption of underground nuclear testing via subcritical tests under the Stockpile Stewardship program. Since the subcritical Unicorn test last August, the US has conducted four subcritical “thermos” tests involving small amounts of plutonium this year. Yet we will also be walking through the desert, a place of great holiness in many religious traditions. Thank you for bringing your healing power and your longing for healing to the Nevada desert, a place truly located between heaven and hell. We have enclosed: -Article “Walk in Peace for Peace” by Brian Kimmel (p. 3-4) -Overview of NDE and Desert Spirituality from Ken Butigan’s book Pilgrimage Through a Burning World (p. 5-7) -Article on Desert Spirituality: “Desert Attentiveness, Desert Indifference: Countercultural Spirituality in the Desert Fathers and Mothers” by Belden Lane (p.
