Subject: (abolition-usa) DOE budget analysis on TVC web site/New!

Dear peace and environmental colleagues:

Tri-Valley CAREs has a new report on its web site that will likely be of
interest -- and of great use -- to you.

"THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FISCAL YEAR 2001 BUDGET REQUEST FOR NUCLEAR
WEAPONS ACTIVITIES," is an analysis done for Tri-Valley CAREs by Dr. Robert
Civiak. (From 1988 to 1999, Bob served as Program Examiner in the federal
Office of Management and Budget, where the DOE budget was within the scope
of his responsibilities.)

The report is concise, readable and "chock full" of valuable information on
the nuclear weapons activities proposed in the budget request that went to
Congress on February 7, 2000. For example:

(1) Did you know that only 10% of the DOE budget request is directly tied
to evaluation and maintenance of the existing arsenal? Check out our report
and learn what the other 90% will buy!

(2) Did you know that the DOE budget request contains 17 separate
"campaigns" that are largely activities to improve or expand capabilities?
Check out the 6 U.S. weapons types for which the budget requests
"improvement" monies!

(3) Did you know that the fiscal year 2001 cost for the National Ignition
Facility is hidden in various categories throughout the DOE budget request?
Check out the box at the end of our report to see how the NIF funding adds
up!

Peace,

Subject: (abolition-usa) Hawaii's Jim Albertini solidarity for a Nuclear-Free University!!

Dear Abolitionists,

Aloha and Greetings from Hawai'i! Here's Jim Albertini for you!! We can use
all of the inspiration from those who preceeded us, and appreciate the
solidarity! Jim swam out into the Pacific Ocean to confront a US
nuclear-armed warship and spent 3 years in prison for it! During a time of
cynicism, we young ones need folks lik Jim Albertini and M.Vanunu to guide
us with their examples.

Dear Richard and UH peacemakers,

I applaud your work for a Nuclear-free University of Hawaii and extend my
solidarity as one sentenced to three years in U.S. federal prison for a
nonviolent swiming protest of a nuclear armed warship entering Hawaii
County's Nuclear-free zone in 1984.  Hawaii County was the first
municipality in the U.S. to pass a law declaring itself a nuclear-free zone
in 1981.  Unfortunately, then county council chair (now mayor) Steven
Yamashiro, and the council majority, did not have the courage to stand up in
support of the law.  They bent to the pressure of the military.
To UH students, I say, BE STRONG.  STAND FIRM IN DECLARING UH A NUCLEAR-FREE
ZONE.

With gratitude and aloha,
Jim

Note: The University of Hawaii Graduate Student Organization (GSO) will be
considering passage of a Nuclear Free University of Hawaii Resolution next
week. See text of the Resolution below.  The GSO meeting will be held on
Friday, March 10, 2000, from 1-3pm, at UH-Manoa Campus Center Building, Room
CC220. Come and support this resolution. Mahalo.


Aloha, FYI:

It has become critical for all communities throughout Hawaii, the Pacific,
and around the world to take a stand on nuclear weapons and to take steps
toward influencing State and National Governments including countries to
begin seriously addressing the "nuclear crisis," as former US President
Jimmy Carter described the current state of nuclear proliferation in a
February 23, 2000 op-ed piece in the Washington Post
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/2000-02/23/008l-022300-idx.html).
Unfortunately, as President Carter writes, "U.S. policy has had a good deal
to do with creating it." As a consequence, there have been "a disturbing
pattern of provocative [nuclear] developments" (see a brief list of these in
President Carter's op-ed piece).

These have been allowed to happen largely because of uninformed publics and
because of the failure of the media to focus on them as critical areas of
concern for domestic and world peace. However, national and international
leaders can be "inspired to act wisely and courageously by an informed
public," as Carter adds. There is an urgent need for the public, in the USA
and around the world, to educate peoples, advocate for and lobby their
leaders to speak out on these issues in preparation for the 5-year Review of
the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, taking place April 24 - May 19, 2000
at the United Nations. (Please visit the website of Abolition 2000
http://www.abolition2000.org,   for more information.)

The University of Hawaii community and the entire Hawaiian population should
proudly commend President C. Mamo Kim and her colleagues in the Graduate
Student Organization for taking this initiative to pass the following
Nuclear-Free Zone Resolution and for taking a leadership role in educating
peoples in Hawaii, the United States and the world in calling for nuclear
disarmament as a step toward world peace.

Please come to the GSO meeting to support the passage of this Resolution.

Thank you very much.

Richard,

Our next GSO meeting will be next Friday from 1-3, at CC220.  I think it
would be good to introduce this resolution yourself.  You could send a copy
of this to the gso-l with a forward, mentioning your intention to have the
GSO pass it in assembly.

/snip/

At the assembly, deliver hard copies which read as follows:


                GRADUATE STUDENT ORGANIZATION OF
               THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MANOA
                 2445 Campus Road, Hemenway 212

            GRADUATE STUDENT ORGANIZATION RESOLUTION 02-00

URGING THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR WEAPON FREE ZONES THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD AND CALLING UPON THE GOVERNMENTS OF ALL NUCLEAR WEAPONS STATES TO
BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS IMMEDIATELY ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS CONVENTION TO PROHIBIT AND
ELIMINATE ALL NUCLEAR WEAPONS EARLY IN THIS NEW CENTURY, AND TO COMPLETE
THESE NEGOTIATIONS BY THE YEAR 2000

Whereas the billions of dollars spent on nuclear weapons each year could be
reallocated to help fund educational programs and other social needs;

Whereas the research and development of nuclear weapons, which has
involved many of our universities, fosters a culture of secrecy which is in
direct opposition to the principles of democracy;

Whereas the intellectual resources currently devoted to the development and
maintenance of our nuclear arsenals could be far more productively used for
research into environmentally sound technologies;

Whereas the International Court of Justice ruled unanimously in July 1996,
"There exists an obligation to pursue in good faith and bring to a
conclusion negotiations leading to nuclear disarmament in all its aspects
under strict and effective international control";

Whereas retired U.S. General Lee Butler, once responsible for all U.S.
strategic nuclear forces, has called nuclear weapons "inherently dangerous,
hugely expensive, militarily inefficient, and morally indefensible";

Whereas the residual effects of nuclear warfare would have a lasting
impact on present and future generations, posing a constant threat to the
health and peace of mind of the world's citizens;

Whereas it is in the direct interest of young people to support the
sustainability of life on this planet in order that they may have a healthy
place to live in which to pursue their dreams and aspirations;

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the GRADUATE STUDENT ORGANIZATION of the
University of Hawai'i at Manoa declares itself a Nuclear Weapon Free Zone
and supports the further development of Nuclear Weapon Free Zones throughout
the world;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the GSO calls for all nuclear weapons to be
taken off alert status; for all nuclear warheads to be separated from their
delivery vehicles; and for the nuclear weapons states to agree to
unconditional no first use of these weapons;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the GSO calls upon the governments of all
nuclear weapons states to begin negotiations immediately on a Nuclear
Weapons Convention to prohibit and eliminate all nuclear weapons early in
this new century, and to complete these negotiations by the year 2000;

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be distributed to the
Board of Regents of the University of Hawai'i, President and Chancellor of
Manoa Kenneth P. Mortimer, Vice-President of Student Affairs Doris Ching,
the U.S. Congressional Delegation, the President of the U.S., and the local
media;

ROLL CALL       GSO RESOLUTION 02-00
                Ayes:

                Nays:

                Abstentions:

ADOPTED BY THE 1999-2000 GSO ASSEMBLY ON FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 2000.
Prepared by the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation for the Abolition 2000 Global
Campaign and introduced by Richard Salvador, Ph.D. candidate, Political
Science, University of Hawai'i at Manoa.

Subject: (abolition-usa) 8Mar Global Peace Walk 2000

Please don't use reply-to-all but reply offlist to [e-mail]

As of today, March 8th, the Global Peace Walk has reached Gallup NM and
received there a proclamation of support from the Mayor after earlier this
week receiving a letter/proclamation of support from the President of the
Navajo Nation in Window Rock AZ as they drum their way walking across
country.

The walkers bussed back today to near Flagstaff for sweat lodge ceremony
there and are contemplating side trip to Phoenix and perhaps Tucson before
resuming on path of walk from Gallup towards Albuquerque (where no date has
yet been set for events there and we need some local coordinators to step
forward to help), Apr8 in Santa Fe, and Apr22 EarthDay2000 in Taos NM where
they will stay for some time on land previously donated to the walk for a
future spiritual agricultural community.

As soon as I know their upcoming weeks' schedule I will post a more detailed
report with it to these and other lists.   Please help me forward this info
to your networks.

The walk stirred up some controversy in the Hopi-Navajo area because of the
Big Mountain relocation situation, but also some communications were opened
with the Hopi Tribe which we hope in future will help with some postitive
resolution to the Big Mountain relocation problems.

Because it feels the walk is championing the cause of the Big Mountain
resisters, the Hopi Tribal Council declined to offer their letter of support
as they had done in 1995 although they indicated on the phone and by email
that they support the overall purpose of the walk and its prayer for "Global
Peace Now!" as a universal human resolve.

The walk went through the Hopi area directly on the way to Window Rock and
in Flagstaff on Feb25 representatives of the Big Mountain elders came and
spoke to the walkers with the help of the Black Mesa Indigenous Support
network folks who shuttled them back and forth from Big Mountain to
Flagstaff.   A representative of the Hopi Tribe leadership also drove down
to Flagstaff and delivered for the walkers a comprehensive information
package and video describing their positions on the so-called "Hopi-Navajo
Land Dispute" or relocation issue.

Please check out the updates at http://www.globalpeacenow.org for recently
posted walk photos from first few weeks, letters and proclamations of
support, newsclippings, etc.

Global Peace Walk 2000 is now an established vehicle available to carry all
survival issue messages submitted by individuals and organizations in the
form of their letters of support summarizing such messages, websites, etc.
These messages will be publicized along the way and carried for delivery in
Washington DC and to the United Nations.   How big and powerful and strong
this vehicle will become in the coming weeks and months will depend entirely
on the level of support it receives from networkers like you who pass the
word about it to your networks and ask for their help to spread the word.
In any event, Global Peace Walk 2000 will fulfill its mission to reach DC
and the UN and offer its prayer and deliver its messages accumulated along
the way.

Especially if you do not see your "pet issues" listed on the walk website or
discussed in letters already posted, please submit your letters/messages of
support for the walk to carry and publicize.   Such letters may be emailed
to me for posting and signed hardcopies (on letterhead if available) may be
mailed for forwarding to the walk sent to PO Box 170245, San Francisco CA
94117-0245, to which address tax deductible donations for the walk may be
sent payable to "Yucca Foundation - GPW".

The walkers have been gathering support along the way, donations of food
etc, and now have a somewhat seasoned core group of a couple of dozen or so
walkers after 7 weeks on the road with additional folks joining in for
shorter distances along the way.  They have been lately in snowy weather and
appreciate whatever support they are offered for hospitality along the way.

For the lastest updates on where the walk is, or to leave a message for
them, call the update recording at 415-267-1877.  Names and contact info of
folks you know on their route who would like to help can also be left for
the walkers at that number.

I have not received a direct phone call from them in a week or more so have
been waiting for that to get more details for a more comprehensive report
which I will send as soon as possible.

If you want to offer financial support for the walk and do not need a tax
deduction, or if you want to offer expense money so I can better support
them with phone calls and mailings, etc., you may also send to me at address
below.

Please help me support this great historical project for the Year2000.  We
need some endorsements and participation by well known public figures,
celebrities, etc., to accelerate the public awareness of this project and
the messages it is carrying.  Let me know directly any way you can help.

Thanks very much, for "Global Peace Now!",

Dear All,
This morning the Labor Party put to the Australian Senate a resolution
(text below) on the NPT Review Conference.

The test of the resolution is to be transmitted by the President of the
Senate to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Presidents of
the Security Council and the General Assembly, the Chair of the NPT Review
Conference, the Presidents and/or prime ministers and foreign ministers of
the US, Russia, China, France, the UK, India, Pakistan and Israel, and the
foreign ministers of all non- nuclear weapons NPT signatory states.

That means the only country that will not get a copy will be Cuba.

Laurie Brereton, Labor shadow foreign affairs spokesperson deserves to be
congratulated for this.

AUSTRALIAN PEACE COMMITTEE/FRIENDS OF THE EARTH
SENATE VOTES FOR PROGRESS ON NUCLEAR ARMS AS GOVERNMENT STICKS HEAD FIRMLY
IN SAND

The Australian Peace Committee and Friends of the Earth have warmly
welcomed a motion calling for progress on the elimination of nuclear arms
which was adopted by 33 in favour to 27 against in the Senate this morning.
The motion was  proposed by the Labor Party and supported by the Greens and
Democrats.

According to Irene Gale AM of the APC and John Hallam of Friends of the Earth,
"The motion calls for both the Australian government and for other
governments to make real progress toward the elimination of nuclear arms at
the upcoming review conference of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty in
the United Nations in New York, 24April-19May."
"It is especially pleasing to see that the Senate  specifically affirms
that the nuclear weapon states have an obligation to fulfill promptly their
undertaking under Article VI of the NPT to pursue negotiations in good
faith to eliminate nuclear arsenals."
"In this context the government needs to note that on the 12 Nov. 1998, a
poll conducted by the Roy Morgan organization revealed that 92% of all
Australians believe that Australia should help to negotiate a global treaty
to ban nuclear weapons. A model for such a treaty, known as a nuclear
weapons convention, was actually introduced to the United Nations General
Assembly some years ago."

"What is disturbing however is that the Government has seen fit not only to
oppose the motion, which it should have supported, but to characterise it
in very negative terms."

"This is a motion that deserved warm support from all quarters. The
government seems to have adopted what it calls a policy of 'damage control'
for the coming NPT Review. This is a policy that cannot succeed and
certainly does not deserve to succeed. The Secretary General of the United
Nations, Kofi Annan has himself warned that the coming NPT Review
conference will be difficult, and that what is required to make a way
through these difficulties is real progress toward the elimination of the
nuclear weapon states arsenals."

"We congratulate Laurie Brereton and the ALP , for sponsoring this
resolution and Bob Brown and Lyn Allison for their support. But it is a
tragic waste of an opportunity for progress if the Australian Government
reacts to the coming review conference by sticking its head firmly in the
sand, as it appears to have done.  This resolution and the approach it
embodies were an opportunity for progress which they should have supported.
We urge them to reconsider their position."

PRESS RELEASE
LAURIE BRERETON
SHADOW MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS

    30/00    9 March 2000

SENATE MOTION ON NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT

    The Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, Laurie Brereton, today
welcomed the motion adopted by the Australian Senate on the forthcoming
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference.  The motion was adopted
by a vote of 33 for to 27 against.

    "Today's Senate motion on nuclear disarmament sends a valuable
message to the international community and especially to the nuclear weapon
states in the run-up to next month's NPT Review Conference", Mr Brereton
said.  "It is a great shame that the Howard Government would not support
Labor's Senate motion which properly deserved unanimous support."

    "This year will be critical for progress towards nuclear disarmament
and strengthening international prohibitions on weapons of mass destruction.
The NPT Review Conference is likely to be very difficult.  United Nations
Secretary-General Kofi Annan last month rightly highlighted the parlous
state of nuclear disarmament efforts.  The failure to make progress on
disarmament increases the risks of nuclear proliferation with adverse
consequences for Australia's national security."

    "Leadership from non-nuclear middle powers, especially Australia, is
vital to help rebuild momentum towards nuclear disarmament.  We should be
putting all our efforts into breaking the impasse on nuclear disarmament,
not sitting on the sidelines apologising for the nuclear weapon states.  It
is a matter of great regret that the Howard Government has effectively
abandoned Australia's previous leading role on nuclear disarmament issues
and risks becoming little more than an apologist for the nuclear weapons
states."

    "The Howard Government made no real effort to promote the work of
the Canberra Commission on the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons and has walked
away from any advocacy of efforts to achieve a nuclear weapons free world.
Australia has conspicuously declined to support the New Agenda Coalition of
small and middle powers working at the United Nations to encourage the
nuclear weapon states to take positive steps to fulfil their obligation to
move towards nuclear disarmament."

    "Labor's motion today draws its inspiration directly from the
Canberra Commission and the New Agenda Coalition.  It provides an
opportunity for Australia to again give some international leadership in
this vital area of foreign policy."

    "The Howard Government's refusal to support Labor's motion is very
clearly at odds with the United Nations Secretary-General.  Indeed its
response in the Senate today was positively embarrassing.  The Government's
approach could not be more short-sighted."

    A copy of Labor's Senate motion is attached.


    NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY REVIEW CONFERENCE

    Motion by Senator Peter Cook (Australian Labor Party)

    (1)    That the Senate-

(a)    notes:

    (i)    the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference
will be held at the United Nations (UN) in New York from 24 April to 19 May
2000, and

    (ii)    the declaration of the UN Secretary-General (Mr Kofi Annan)
in February 2000 that the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation agenda
is in a state of `deplorable stagnation', that it is difficult to approach
the NPT Review Conference with optimism `given the discouraging list of
nuclear disarmament measures in suspense, negotiations not initiated and
opportunities not taken', and that a dangerous nuclear arms race `looms on
the horizon';

(b)    recalls:

    (i)    the conclusion of the Canberra Commission on the Elimination
of Nuclear Weapons that, `The proposition that nuclear weapons can be
retained in perpetuity and never used - accidentally or by decision - defies
credibility' and that `the only complete defence is the elimination of
nuclear weapons and assurance that they will never be produced again', and

    (ii)    the Commission's observations that, `Nuclear weapons are
held by a handful of states which insist that these weapons provide unique
security benefits, and yet reserve uniquely to themselves the right to own
them. The situation is highly discriminatory and thus unstable; it cannot be
sustained. The possession of nuclear weapon by any state is a constant
stimulus to other states to acquire them';

(c)    notes the unanimous finding of the International Court of Justice in
its 1996 Advisory Opinion that, `There exists a clear obligation to pursue
in good faith and bring to a conclusion negotiations leading to nuclear
disarmament in all its aspects under strict and effective international
control';

(d)    affirms that the nuclear weapon states have an obligation to fulfil
promptly their undertaking under Article VI of the NPT to pursue
negotiations in good faith to eliminate their nuclear arsenals;

(e)    in the light of the above, urges that the nuclear weapon states
reject the indefinite possession of nuclear weapons and policies based on
their possession, unequivocally commit to the elimination of all nuclear
weapons, and agree to start work immediately on the practical steps and
negotiations required to achieve this goal;

(f)    calls on all parties at the NPT Review Conference to urge the

MARSHALL ISLANDS SEEKING INCREASED U.S. COMPENSATION FOR NUCLEAR TESTING

MAJURO, Marshall Islands (March 3, 2000 û Marshall Islands Journal)ùForeign
Minister Alvin Jacklick said it was not only the four atolls that were
exposed to nuclear test fallout from the 67 American nuclear tests at Bikini
and Enewetak, but also islands to the southern and western islands in the
RMI -- and even islands as distant as Pohnpei in the Federated States of
Micronesia.

During the Nuclear Victims Day ceremony in Majuro, he assured a nationwide
listening audience that the new government was working on petitioning the
U.S. Congress to consider increased compensation and medical care for the
Marshalls. A special committee has already been established for this
purpose, he said.

Jacklick also said that the new government was delivering on a promise to
prevent importation of nuclear and hazardous waste. Last week, he said, bill
number 12 was introduced in the Nitijela which, when passed into law, will
ban any nuclear waste from entering the RMI.

He also commented on the fact that 15 years ago, when the first Compact and
its compensation provisions were negotiated, detailed information on U.S.
nuclear testing effects in the RMI was not available. This information has
only become available in the past several years, he said.

Bikini Councilman Nijma Jamodre spoke on behalf of the Bikini community,
concluding his remarks by saying nuclear test problems were widespread.
"It's not just Bikini, it's not just Rongelap. It's a problem for all of the
Marshall Islands," he said.

Rongelap Mayor James Matayoshi said that recently released U.S. Department
of Energy documents show that U.S. scientists experimented on Rongelap
islanders. "Without any authorization, American doctors had conducted
experiments involving injecting Rongelapese with radioactive substances," he
said.

He joined with other speakers in alluding to the so-called "changed
circumstances" issue with regard to compensation and medical care,
commenting that Rongelap would be working with the RMI government in the
upcoming negotiations with the U.S. government. Matayoshi said he believes
that the Marshall Islands will "speak with one voice" in talks with the U.S.
on the nuclear issue.



ALL RMI GUINEA PIGS OF TEST AREA

MAJURO, Marshall Islands (March 3, 2000 û Marshall Islands Journal)ùMarshall
Islander after Marshall Islander took to the microphone at Nuclear Victims
Remembrance Day ceremonies Wednesday to say that nuclear test problems are
affecting the entire country, not just the four recognized northern atolls.

The event marks the March 1, 1954 Bravo hydrogen bomb test at Bikini that
spewed radioactive fallout around the Marshall Islands.

Representatives of the northern atolls delivered impassioned testimony about
problems they've suffered as a result of resettlement from their nuclear
contaminated home islands, and described a litany of health problems they've
experienced.

The ceremony, held at the College of the Marshall Islands, was attended by
President Kessai Note and other high-level government officials.
