Against Star Wars

[Guest guest]

Please, each of us, we have our word to say on this matter. I try to

develop this campaign in France, but of course, your voices, my american

friends, will be more useful, indeed. Could you send a e-mail and a

letter ? (Sorry if cross-posting!) Best regards from France. Bernard

Blanc.

Friends:

 

We've just found out that the Pentagon's Environmental Assesment (EA)

for

the Space Based Laser Program has come out.

 

You can find it on the web at:

http://ax.laafb.af.mil/axf/eaapgs/sblpubea.htm

 

There is an October 9 deadline for comments on this EA so it is crucial

that

you respond right away.

 

Three test sites are being considered in this EA. They are Cape

Canaveral,

Fl.; Huntsville, AL.; and Stennis Missile Test Center, MS.

 

You can send your comments to (please copy us):

Suggested comments include:

 

1) There is no threat to justify developing a space based laser program

 

2) The costs, $30 billion for the whole program, is a waste of tax

dollars.

(The test program itself is to cost at least $300 million.)

 

3) The development & testing of the SBL program will help to generate a

new

arms race into space

 

4) We understand the key role that the SBL plays in the Space Command's

desire to be the Master of Space. The SBL is the real Reagan-era " Star

Wars " program.

It has nothing to do with " defending " the U.S. from attack.

 

 

Please help us by spreading word to your lists about this EA. Thanks

for

your help.
