Dear Colleagues:

In case anyone can make use of them, I am sending a set of questions on
nuclear disarmament issues for candidates to the U.S. Senate and U.S.
House
of Representatives.  They were developed by members of the Interfaith
Committee for Nuclear Disarmament.  You can adapt them as you choose.

I am transmitting the questions as an attachment, but I can send them as
text upon request.

Shalom,
Howard Hallman

Bernard Blanc replies: Dear Howard. Thank's for your work. Yes, I should
be happy to have these questions as text in a mail.
Best regards from France. Bernard Blanc.

Subject: Re: (abolition-usa) Questions for congressional candidates

These are good questions but I wonder if we don't need to focus a bit on
teleology since the Bush Campaign is talking about Strength with a Purpose.
This should lead to questions that reveal the general foreign/international
policies as what they are in both parties' cases, programs for dominance.
Iraq, Yugoslavia, Columbia; these cases are the recent uses of the military
for various policies that are confusing at best.  For instance:  Why is
NATO?   Should the UN be strengthened?  What is the purpose of Stockpile
Stewardship beyond the boiler plate?  Why is there Menwith Hills and Buckley
Field?

Dear Presidents and Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers and Defence Ministers,

The undersigned NGO groups and Parliamentarians, representing  millions of
people,  are writing:

1) To urge the US not to proceed with proposals for a National Missile
Defence System (NMD),

2) To urge  US allies to make the strongest representations in appropriate
forums or bilaterally, to press the US government not to proceed with the
deployment of NMD, and to maintain the integrity of the ABM Treaty.

Proceeding with National Missile Defence threatens to undermine the basis
of existing and future offensive nuclear arms reduction measures.

We note the strong statements made on NMD by the Governments of France,
Germany and Sweden, and the expressions of concern by other US allies
including the UK, Canada, and the European Union.

At the recent NPT Review Conference, the US together with 187 other
countries, signed a final declaration that commits it to an unequivocal
undertaking to accomplish the total elimination of its nuclear arsenal.
Plans to deploy a missile defence system threaten that vital goal, to which
the US is legally committed, together with all other NPT signatories. The
final declaration of the NPT Review Conference expressly calls for:
"the early implementation and entry into force of START-II and conclusion
of START-III as soon as possible while preserving and strengthening the
Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty as a cornerstone of strategic stability
and as a basis for further reductions of strategic offensive weapons in
accordance with its provisions."

We do not believe it is possible for this to be interpreted in a way that
will allow the deployment of an NMD system, nor should it be so
interpreted. We therefore  urge the US and Russia instead to proceed to the
negotiation of START-III at the lowest possible force levels and to the
immediate implementation of START-II.

We note that the UN Secretary-General, and representatives of Russia,
China, the UK, France, Sweden, the European Community, the New Agenda
Coalition and the Non-Aligned movement have expressed the view that the ABM
treaty is the cornerstone of global strategic stability.

The recent meeting of G8 foreign ministers has also expressed strong
concern over the possibility that the ABM treaty may be abrogated to allow
NMD to proceed, and has stated that they are 'deeply concerned' over
missile proliferation as a result of NMD.

The Australian Senate on June 29th, passed a motion in which it called on
the US not to proceed with the deployment of an NMD system and in which it
called for the implementation of START-II as soon as possible, and the
negotiation of START-III at the lowest possible force levels.

We note also recent expressions of concern within the US, by
Congresspeople, Nobel laureates, and other distinguished and influential
people and organizations.


America should not simply ignore the strongly repeated opinion of
governments and NGOs of the whole world, that NMD should not proceed,  and
that the integrity of  the ABM treaty should be maintained.

Missile defence schemes respond to an exaggerated perception of the missile
threat from so-called 'Rogue States', (now termed 'States of Concern')  are
not the solution to missile proliferation,  sabotage nuclear disarmament
efforts to which the US is legally committed along with the rest of the
world, and decrease overall US and international security.

There are serious doubts  whether this system, or  whether any missile
defence system,  can ever work.  The problems posed even by relatively
simple decoys are probably technically insoluble. The Welch Panel, an
independent team of scientists,  released a report outlining the
probability of NMD systems failure due to time and schedule constraints.

Instead of pursuing missile defence, it is vital that the US  focus on
practical solutions to global  strategic security.  We therefore urge the
US and Russia,  as the highest priority, to proceed to the elimination of
as many warheads as possible under any START-III agreement, the removal of
obstacles to the implementation of START-II,  and  the removal of
strategic missile forces from high alert status as advocated by the
Canberra Commission, subsequent UN resolutions and the final NPT
declaration.

Yours Sincerely,
(Signed)

Cold War Bomb May Lie in Greenland=20

New York Times, Associated Press, August 13, 2000 Filed at 10:47 a.m. EDT
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/i/AP-Greenland-Cold-War-Bomb.html

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- Documents obtained by former workers at the U.S.
Air Force base in Greenland offer new evidence that an unarmed hydrogen bomb
that sank in 1968 may still lie on the seabed, a newspaper reported Sunday.

On Jan. 21, 1968, an American B-52 carrying four unarmed hydrogen bombs with
plutonium cores was on a mission near the Soviet border when a fire broke=
 out
in its cabin. The plane crashed on the frozen Baffin Bay off the U.S. Air=
 Force
base in Thule in northern Greenland, a semiautonomous Danish territory.Five=
 of
the six crew members survived. Three of the bombs broke on impact, while the
fourth reportedly sank to the seabed.

About 1,200 Danish and Greenland workers cleaned up the wreckage and scooped
tons of radioactive debris and ice into barrels that were shipped back to=
 the
United States. That spring, Washington assured NATO member Denmark that=
 cleanup
work had been completed, according to Sunday's report in the Jyllands-Posten
newspaper.

However, classified documents obtained by a group of former civilian=
 employees
at the air base suggest that the United States continued to search for the=
 lost
bomb until August of 1968 without informing the Danes, according to the
newspaper.

The documents from the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission reportedly show that=
 the
U.S. search teams recovered the debris from the other three bombs but that=
 the
fourth bomb -- with the serial number 78252 -- was never found.

U.S. Embassy officials in Copenhagen could not be reached for comment. The
Danish government, which has said previously that it was investigating=
 similar
reports but considered them unlikely, had no immediate reaction.

The former workers -- some of whom have filed for compensation, saying they
have cases of cancer and other diseases related to the crash cleanup -- said
they obtained the documents while researching their longtime claim. More

Lost U.S. Nuclear Bomb Off Greenland Base Site?=20

By Peter Starck, Sunday August 13 10:23 AM ET
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20000813/ts/greenland_nuclear_dc_2.html

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A U.S. nuclear bomb lost more than three decades ago
probably lies on the seabed off Greenland's Thule airbase, which the United
States aims to use for its controversial anti-missile shield, a Danish
newspaper reported Sunday.=20

Classified documents obtained by a group of former workers at Thule, an=
 Arctic
air and radar base built by the United States in 1951-52, suggest that one=
 of
four hydrogen bombs on a B-52 bomber that crashed there in 1968 was never
found, the daily Jyllands-Posten said.=20

``Detective work by a group of former Thule workers indicates that an
unexploded nuclear bomb probably still lies on the seabed off Thule,'' the
right-leaning mass-circulation daily said.=20

The crash on January 21, 1968 led to a crisis in relations between the=
 United
States and NATO ally Denmark, which is responsible for Greenland's foreign,
security and defense policy and at the time prohibited nuclear weapons on=
 its
territory, including Greenland.=20

Denmark was never informed about the lost bomb, which has serial number=
 78252,
the paper said.=20

Film Shows ``Bomb-Like Object''=20

Footage filmed at the site by a U.S. submarine searching for remains of the
B-52 wreckage in April 1968 contained images of a bomb-like object, the=
 Danish
Ritzau news agency reported.=20

A U.S. state department document dated August 31, 1968 said all weapons=
 onboard
the crashed aircraft had been accounted for but did not spell out whether=
 they
had been recovered, Ritzau said.=20

The United States assured the Danish government in spring 1968 that clean-up
work after the B-52 crash had been completed and gave up searching for the=
 lost
bomb in August that year, Jyllands-Posten said.=20

``We are not able to comment at this stage,'' Lawrence Butler, Deputy Chief=
 of
Mission at the U.S. embassy in Copenhagen, told Reuters by telephone. Danish
government officials were not available for comment.=20

Niels-Joergen Nehring, head of the state-sponsored Danish Institute of
International Affairs (DUPI), which published a report named ``Greenland=
 During
the Cold War'' in 1997, including a chapter on the B-52 crash, said
Jyllands-Posten's claim that a lost bomb remained off Thule was not=
 surprising.


``It is not new information that there might be some stuff left there,''
Nehring told Reuters, adding the crash had occurred ``some kilometers off=
 the
coast'' where the water depth beneath the ice was 250-300 meters.=20

The U.S. investigation of the crash site had ended once it had been=
 confirmed
that no radiation danger existed, he said.=20

Senior State Department officials are scheduled to visit Greenland on August=
 21
to 24 for talks with Danish and Greenland officials on Thule's role in the
planned National Missile Defense (NMD) initiative.=20

According to Senate testimony by Defense Secretary William Cohen in July,
Washington needs a decision on upgrading the Thule radar next year if the=
 White
House gives the political go-ahead to deploy NMD by 2005.=20

Home to a ballistic missile early-warning radar station, Thule sits at the
midpoint of a chain of similar sites between Alaska and the British Isles --=
 a
line along which the United States may build a shield against missiles from
what it calls states of concern such as North Korea, Iraq, Iran and Libya.=
=20

Greenland Politicians Oppose Plan=20

Leading politicians in Greenland, which has enjoyed limited=
 self-determination
under the Danish crown since 1979, do not want Thule to play any role in the
NMD.=20
Denmark has declined to speak out on the issue apart from saying that the=
 NMD
should not go ahead if it breaches the strategic missile treaty between the
United States and Russia. Moscow opposes the U.S. missile shield plan, and=
 says
it does breach the treaty.=20

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned Denmark and other U.S. NATO=
 allies
that their participation in the NMD could upset global strategic stability.=
=20
DUPI's Nehring said the fresh nuclear bomb report would probably raise an
uproar in the domestic media but was unlikely to seriously affect Denmark's
position on the NMD.=20

``It will of course give rise to questions and debates...but I don't think=
 it
will have any long-term impact,'' he said.=20

The Danish government has said it will make a decision if and when=
 Washington
submits a request to upgrade the Thule radar.=20

<br>
</font></u>COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- Documents obtained by former
workers at the U.S. Air Force base in Greenland offer new evidence that
an unarmed hydrogen bomb that sank in 1968 may still lie on the seabed, a
newspaper reported Sunday.<br>
<br>
On Jan. 21, 1968, an American B-52 carrying four unarmed hydrogen bombs
with plutonium cores was on a mission near the Soviet border when a fire
broke out in its cabin. The plane crashed on the frozen Baffin Bay off
the U.S. Air Force base in Thule in northern Greenland, a semiautonomous
Danish territory.Five of the six crew members survived. Three of the
bombs broke on impact, while the fourth reportedly sank to the
seabed.<br>
<br>
About 1,200 Danish and Greenland workers cleaned up the wreckage and
scooped tons of radioactive debris and ice into barrels that were shipped
back to the United States. That spring, Washington assured NATO member
Denmark that cleanup work had been completed, according to Sunday's
report in the Jyllands-Posten newspaper.<br>
<br>
However, classified documents obtained by a group of former civilian
employees at the air base suggest that the United States continued to
search for the lost bomb until August of 1968 without informing the
Danes, according to the newspaper.<br>
<br>
The documents from the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission reportedly show that
the U.S. search teams recovered the debris from the other three bombs but
that the fourth bomb -- with the serial number 78252 -- was never
found.<br>
<br>
U.S. Embassy officials in Copenhagen could not be reached for comment.
The Danish government, which has said previously that it was
investigating similar reports but considered them unlikely, had no
immediate reaction.<br>
<br>
The former workers -- some of whom have filed for compensation, saying
they have cases of cancer and other diseases related to the crash cleanup
- -- said they obtained the documents while researching their longtime
claim. More details were not immediately available.<br>
<br>
Sunday's report offered new evidence of a possibility Danish officials
have considered for years. In 1987, Denmark's foreign minister said the
country was looking into a report that the bomb still lay off the coast
of Greenland. In 1995, Greenland's premier accused the United States of

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A U.S. nuclear bomb lost more than three decades
