Dear Zbig,

I remember you well for your frequent contributions to Radsafe, the 
radiation safety mail list.  Having seen the article included below, I 
cannot read anything about Chernobyl without remembering your dedication 
to finding and circulating truths about the Chernobyl accident.

You do not seem to have been on Radsafe for quite a while -- I hope this 
finds you enjoying good health and that your world is treating you well.

Sincerely,
Maury Siskel

George,
Thanks very much for posting this article.  Can you (or anyone else)
shed light on the current status of Z. Jaworowski  and the UNSCEAR group
that contributed so heavily toward keeping the world's feet on the
ground for years after Chernobyl? The last I recall, the UNSCEAR funding
was being decimated -- due in part to fund-raising  groups whose
contributions were being dried up by the truth which was that the
catastrophe was not nearly as damaging as the "doomsday" people were
portraying it to be.
Cheers,
