I think a few knowledgable people should attend and ask questions about some

of the more ludicrous parts of the nuclear terrorism report.



Best regards.

Princeton's Community Based Learning Initiative (CBLI). CBLI pairs community

agencies with Princeton University classes which study a field related to

the agency's work. The students produce their research results in a form

that is useful to the agency, in this case, the Coalition for Peace Action.

Mian in the class they taught on Science and Public Policy. Both will also

be present for the public presentations by the students. The Nuclear

Terrorism Task Force released their report in a State House press conference

on May 21 that was widely covered. This is an opportunity for the public to

directly hear the findings and ask questions.

Professor of Public and International Affairs at the Wilson School. Dr. Mian

is a Pakistani physicist who has published and edited numerous books and

articles on nuclear weapons in South Asia.

greatly helped our efforts to educate about ways to prevent and mitigate the

very real danger of biological and nuclear reactor terrorism.

attack-the Hamilton post office was where the letters were mailed, and where

a number of postal workers were infected. And our state could be an

attractive target for nuclear reactor terrorism-a so-called dirty

bomb-because the Salem nuclear facilities in south Jersey are so close to a

large population center.

advantage of this opportunity to learn of ways to protect themselves and to

shape public policy solutions," said the Rev. Robert Moore, Executive

Director of the Coalition for Peace Action, which is sponsoring the

presentations.
