Dear Radsafers:



Dan Hirsch and The Committee to Bridge to Gap (CBG) want to get rid of 

nuclear medicine.  Some years ago, while The Society of Nuclear Medicine 

and the American College of Nuclear Physicians (SNM/ACNP) were supporting 

Ward Valley as a LLRW site, CBG started spreading rumors that nuclear 

medicine was the cause of the large amount of breast cancer we see 

today.  I, particularly, have come under personal attack.  Fortunately, 

attacking medicine is bad strategy, so CBG then tried to get rid of its 

enemies in nuclear medicine by exempting them from the provisions of 

antinuclear bills coming before the California Legislature.  Unfortunately, 

CBG is so dumb that it didn't know enough to really exempt nuclear 

medicine, so we would have been caught and harmed anyway.  When we opposed 

some recent antinuke legislation, and the bill was revised, we were 

"punished" by removing the incomplete exemption and killed equally along 

with everyone else.  Hopefully the bills will not pass.



Rest assured that the true antinuclear fanatics want to end all use of 

radioactive material in the United States and the rest of the world as well.



Ciao, Carol
