32 NOBEL LAUREATES IN PHYSICS BACK ATOMIC TEST BAN

[Susan Gawarecki <loc@icx.net>]

Has an organization of HPs taken a similar stand?  This is certainly one
significant method of reducing the general population's exposure.

32 NOBEL LAUREATES IN PHYSICS BACK ATOMIC TEST BAN
from The New York Times

A group of 32 Nobel laureates in physics on Tuesday urged the Senate to
approve the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, calling it "central to future
efforts to halt the spread of nuclear weapons."

U.S. approval is imperative, the scientists said, and would mark "an
important advance in uniting the world in an effort to contain and
reduce
the dangers of nuclear arms."

The plea was conveyed by the American Physical Society, the world's
leading group of physicists, which sent letters Tuesday to every
senator.
Representatives of the group said they knew of no instance in which so
many prominent American physicists had shown such unity.
