If you or someone you know would like to offer an additional design, please send .jpg sized. If one or more of these, or others they may inspire, catch on in widespread usage shown in the media, it will help solidify the desire for "Global Peace Now!" as a universal human resolve, which is the goal of the Global Peace Walk project. These logos may be freely used without attribution in buttons, t-shirts, etc., to help promote this resolve and the recognition that Peace itself is the Target and only Peace is Victory! Two other designs ("Peace is the Target" and "Color Global Peace Target") are posted at http://www.kreative.net/carolmoore/nuke-target.html along with one for nuclear abolition as the target. These and future designs received will also be archived for copying from messages posted to http://www.egroups.com/group/global-emergency-alert-response/?start=4 For more information on the Global Peace Walk 1999-2000 or on the Global Emergency Alert campaign and resouces to help save life on Earth from ecological catastrophe by ending war and reapplying its resources to peace, see GEAR2000 website below. - ---------------------------------------------------------- Global Emergency Alert Response http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000 ********************************************************* gear2000@lightspeed.net GENERAL AGENCY SERVICES David Crockett Williams 661-822-3309 20411 Steeple Court, Tehachapi CA 93561 USA ********************************************************* The Global Peace Walk 1999-2000 1999: 22APR Taos, NM, ---> Santa Fe 26APR 2000: 15JAN San Francisco --> New York 24OCT 19SEP* Washington, DC, Ceremony Rededicating The Washington Monument as a Symbol of Peace. *3rd Tuesday of September is annual opening of UN General Assembly & International Day of Peace October 24th is United Nations Day "GLOBAL PEACE NOW!"

Schmoozing and talking business with leaders from 43 foreign countries and the United States are part of the payoff for American corporate sponsors helping finance the receptions, logistics and hoopla surrounding NATO's 50th anniversary. The summit begins Friday in Washington. General Motors, Ameritech and Boeing are among 13 companies so far that have donated at least a quarter-million dollars in cash or goods and services. That buys one of their executives a spot on the summit host committee's board of directors, which is dominated by communications and defense companies. The committee has raised $6.5 million towards its goal of $8 million. ''It's a natural for us, because Ameritech is the largest foreign investor in European telecommunications,'' company spokesman George Steinitzer said. ''Our purpose here is to support our existing relationships in Europe.'' Ameritech is awaiting Federal Communications Commission permission to merge with another company with a seat on the host committee board, SBC Communications. At last week's reception, Turkish Ambassador Baki Ilkin greeted guests alongside the committee chairman, former U.S. ambassador to Belgium Alan John Blinken. He is a senior adviser to a heavyweight lobbying firm with overseas clients, Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld. Other board members also are well known in Washington political circles. As a group, the 13 companies spent $52 million on lobbying last year. Giving at least $25,000 to join the committee are 28 other company including defense contractors Northrop Grumman and Raytheon; The Washington Post Foundation; and the lobbying firm Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, McPherson and Hand, which also represents foreign clients. ''It's a great opportunity for these businesses,'' host committee spokeswoman Dana Vickers Shelley said. ''The heads of government and the heads of state will be there, but included in their delegations will be foreign trade ministers and other officials.'' Some donations let companies show off their products: DaimlerChrysler is donating Mercedes to help ferry the delegates around town; Motorola is providing cellular telephones to be carried over Nextel Communications' network, another donation; Microsoft is providing software. The companies also will put their names before the estimated 2,500 journalists covering the event, which is drawing extra attention because of the NATO airstrikes in Yugoslavia. Similar corporate-funded committees helped serve as hosts for the G-7 economic summit in Denver in 1997 and the Summit of the Americas in Miami in 1994. The cities holding the Democratic and Republican national conventions create their own corporate-supported committees every four years. ''It leads me to think, 'What's not for sale anymore?''' said Bill Hogan, director of investigative projects for the Center for Public Integrity, a Washington watchdog group. ''One would be hard-pressed to think of any other board of directors where the only qualification is paying your way on to it.'' Standing near a buffet table at the ambassador's residence, Boeing Senior Vice President Christopher Hansen said his company simply was supporting NATO. ''We think it's important to reinforce the alliance,'' Hansen said. ''I wouldn't want to make the justification on a business level.'' NATO host members Forty-one companies have joined the NATO host committee, contributing cash or services for the summit. The companies on the committee's most updated list and the minimum contribution levels: BOARD OF DIRECTORS (Donation limit $250,000) Ameritech DaimlerChrysler Boeing Ford General Motors Honeywell Lucent Technologies Microsoft Motorola Nextel Communications SBC Communications TRW United Technologies HOSTS (Donation limit $100,000) Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld Arthur Anderson Intelsat Joseph E.

Tom Walker reports from Belgrade AN ecological disaster was unfolding yesterday after Nato bombed a combined petrochemicals, fertiliser and refinery complex on the banks of the Danube in the northern outskirts of Belgrade. A series of detonations that shook the whole city early yesterday sent a toxic cloud of smoke and gas hundreds of feet into the night sky. In the dawn the choking cloud could be seen spreading over the entire northern skyline. Among the cocktail of chemicals billowing over hundreds of thousands of homes were the toxic gas phosgene, chlorine and hydrochloric acid. Workers at the industrial complex in Pancevo panicked and decided to release tons of ethylene dichloride, a carcinogen, into the Danube, rather than risk seeing it blown up. At least three missile strikes left large areas of the plant crippled and oil and petrol from the damaged refinery area flowed into the river, forming slicks up to 12 miles long. Temperatures in the collapsing plant were said to have risen to more than 1,000C. Asked about the hazard from chemical smoke, Nato said there was "a lot more smoke coming from burning villages in Kosovo".... ** >> - - To unsubscribe to abolition-usa, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe abolition-usa" in the body of the message.

The walk from the ICJ to Delft is approximately 12 kilometres (7 miles).
