Subject: (abolition-usa) letters, faxes, emails,  burnout, and excess

Lately I've been trying to revive a campaign to get people to send faxes to
William Cohen, US defence secretary, and Yeltsin.

This was preceded by a sign on letter to US  Defence Secretary Cohen.

The sign on letter was faxed with around 100 signatures on Saturday, Sydney
time (18 hours ahead of US time, or 6 hours behind on the following day).

The feedback I recieved is that people may not understand whay I am asking
them to fax 'again'.

This is the first time Cohen has been faxed.

He has not been targeted before.

He said not so long ago in Moscow that de-alerting was 'off the table', and
as he is the responsible US official, this is bad news.

He needs to hear, especially from US people, but from others also that this
is a bad mistake and that he should put it back on the table very quickly.

That's why I am asking people not only to sign on to the letter to Cohen,
which has now gone, but also to fax him yourselves.

I have certainly been persistent with this message but...yesterday was in
fact the first time I had actually posted a request to people in the US to
fax Cohen, and only the second time I have actually posted one to fax
Yeltsin and Sergeyev.

There have been many many requests to sign the big sign on letter. That is
not the same thing.

I will be posting similar requests at regular intervals till Mid december.

Do please if you have not done so, don't just press delete until you have
actually faxed or mailed either one or both of the folk I'm asking you to
fax. This isn't meant to spam you, but to if possible, get nuclear weapons
taken off alert.

Subject: (abolition-usa) Oboe 2 scheduled 11-9-99

Fooled me!  Major correction to Oboe 2 posting of 11-5!

Las Vegas Review Journal 11-8-99  Page B1
" Energy officials are planning a subcritical experiment Tuesday at the
Nevada Test Site, another in the ongoing Oboe series.
The Oboe series will continue through 2000 at the test sites U1A complex
85 miles northwest of Las Vegas"

Security has been much tighter than previous tests which is why I was so
far off on the test date.

> Written Comment on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement

>
> The following organizations are strongly opposed to the proposed
deployment
> of a national missile defense.
>
> President Clinton has announced he will decide whether to deploy a
national
> missile defense in June or July 2000. According to the President, that
> decision will be based on four factors: the readiness of the technology,
> the impact on arms control and relations with Russia, the cost
> effectiveness, and the threat. On each of these counts, the case for
> deployment is weak at best.
>
> 1. The technology is unproven, and cannot be shown to be reliable or
> effective by next summer's scheduled decision.
>
> 2. Unless Russia agrees to modify it, deployment would violate the
> Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, a move that could unravel the entire
> nuclear non-proliferation regime and substantially increase the nuclear
> threat to the United States.
>
> 3. The cost of the system is unclear and likely to spiral upwards far
> beyond the $10.5 billion the Clinton Administration has budgeted over the
> next five years. The system cannot be shown to be effective and reliable
> under the current budget and deployment schedule.
>
> 4. The low-risk threat cited as justification for deployment, particulary
> North Korea's small and untested long-range missile arsenal, does not
> warrant the damage U.S. missile defense deployment would wreak on
relations
> with Russia and China.
>
> Each of these factors is reviewed below in more detail.
>
> 1. The readiness of the technology: Unproven by next summer, and by 2005
> By next June, the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization will have
> conducted only three intercept tests of the proposed national missile
> defense system. Nineteen such tests are scheduled before the first limited
> system is scheduled to go online, in late 2005. The first intercept
> attempt, on October 2, hit its target. However, this was only a test of
the
> "kill vehicle," the last component that destroys the incoming warhead. The
> booster rocket, the radars, and the integrated management system were not
> tested. In fact, only one of the first three tests will involve the
> complete system, and all three will use surrogate parts, not the actual
> components.
>
> So few tests cannot show the system to be reliable and effective by next
> summer's scheduled deployment decision. Even by 2005, when the system is
> scheduled to finish its initial deployment, the additional tests cannot
> prove this highly complex system to be reliable against real-world
threats.
> For example, the Patriot, adopted from an anti-aircraft missile system,
> achieved a perfect test record, hitting its target in all 17 of its
> intercept attempts. However, when used in the field during the Gulf War,
it
> failed dramatically.
>
> 2. The effect on arms control: Increasing nuclear dangers
> The Clinton Administration is currently discussing with Russia
> modifications to the ABM Treaty that would allow the U.S. to deploy a
> "limited" national missile defense. Both Clinton Administration and
Russian
> officials have repeatedly stated that the ABM Treaty remains the
> "cornerstone of strategic stability." To date, Russia has opposed all
> changes to the ABM Treaty and declared that U.S. withdrawal from it or
> insistence on changes would end the START process that is reducing
> strategic nuclear arsenals. This would leave Russia with 6,000 warheads
> that could hit the United States, many ready for launch within 15 minutes
> of a decision to attack. China already perceives that U.S. efforts to
build
> a missile defense are intended to weaken the Chinese deterrent. China's
> current arsenal is around 20 long-range, single warhead missiles. However,
> it is in a slow modernization program to build longer-range missiles with
> multiple warheads. China would likely react to U.S. deployment of a
missile
> defense by increasing the both the size of its arsenal and the pace of its
> improvements. Evidence of China's response to U.S. talk of abrogating the
> ABM Treaty is already developing, with Reuters reporting on October 25
that
> China recently added $9.7 billion to its defense budget to improve its
> nuclear arsenal.
>
> 3. Cost Effectiveness: Unsubstantiated
> In January 1999, the Clinton Administration added $6.6 billion for
> procurement to its five year plans for national missile defense, creating
a
> $10.5 billion total budget. However, most estimates expect even the small
> initial system envisioned in that budget would cost far more. The General
> Accounting Office estimated that it would cost $18 to $28 billion to
deploy
> a small system. This merely adds to the over $60 billion spent since
> President Ronald Reagan launched his Strategic Defense Initiative in 1983,
> money that has not lead to the deployment of a single effective system. It
> will take far more testing, and substantially increased budgets, to deploy
> a system that can be shown to be reliable and effective.
>
> 4. The Threat: Does not warrant rushed early deployment
> The proposed national missile defense system is being developed in an
> attempt to respond to the potential threat from so-called rogue states,
> specifically North Korea, Iran, and Iraq. North Korea, which has of these
> three by far the most advanced capability, recently agreed to halt its
> missile flight test program while negotiating with the United States. It
> has not tested a missile capable of hitting the United States with a
> nuclear warhead.
>
> On Iran, experts are divided on whether it will be able to field a missile
> that could threaten the U.S. within the next decade. Iraq is under severe
> international sanctions that effectively hinder it from developing any new
> missiles. Neither country would be able to field an intercontinental
> missile if the decision to deploy is delayed until the missile defense
> technology is shown to be effective.
>
> Conclusion
> Postponing the decision to deploy a national missile defense is an
> extremely low-risk course of action. Put simply, deploying a national
> missile defense MAY slightly reduce the low risk of a catastrophic attack
> on the U.S. carried out by a very few nuclear-armed missiles. That is true
> IF it proves capable of effectively intercepting incoming warheads.
> However, it WILL increase the risk of massive attack carried out with
> hundreds or thousands of such missiles that will destroy the United States
