RADSAFERs:
The speaker's list for the "seminar" on WIPP (see attached) reads like a
Who's Who of anti-nukes - there is no balance whatsoever to the program, and
Resnikoff and Johnsrud and Hancock and Frishman are people we in the RAM
transportation business have confronted many times.  I would urge anyone in
the Denver area to go.  It's bound to be awful, but we have got to stand up
to these people!  I think my husband and I may go, and I would be happy to
have anyone else along from the Albuq/Santa Fe area (my car holds 3 plus
driver.)

Clearluy only my own opinion

Wendell, fyi if you didn't already know.  The Sierra Club is sponsoring this
"seminar" on WIPP and WIPP transportation issues in Denver.  Among the noted
speakers are Dr. Marvin Resnikoff and our own Don Hancock!  
If you think of anyone else who should know about this, I'd appreciate it if
you could pass it on. Thanks,
Will Keener

The Lone Star and Rio Grande Chapters, along with the Big Bend Regional

issue. Sierra Blanca is located in Hudspeth County, 16 miles from the Rio
Grande River in Texas, and 90 miles from downtown El Paso. Texas entered
into a nuclear waste compact with Maine and Vermont, which, under the
compact, wish to send waste from their aging power plants to Sierra Blanca.
Forty percent of the residents near Sierra Blanca live below the poverty
line and two-thirds of the residents are Mexican-American. The Lone Star

Club activists, as well as citizens along the US-Mexico border.
