It's not too late to organize a house party with eight to ten of your friends. Contact me via email or call me at 800/233-6786, ext. 21 for last-minute assistance in organizing a house party. Even if you aren't organizing a watch party, I think it's still worth contacting your local CBS station. You can offer yourself or someone from your local peace group for interviews commenting on "Fail Safe" and the issues the show raises on the ongoing nuclear threat. This show represents a rare opportunity -- 20 to 30 million people are expected to watch -- when the mainstream media addresses the issue of nuclear weapons. Let's not miss the chance to get our message out in the media.

ALERT Derek Scammel of DOE Nevada Operations Office just confirmed that Subcritical Nucear Weapons Test "Oboe 4" will be detonated THURSDAY. This is the 11th subcritical nuclear weapons test conducted since 1997. "Oboe 4" is part of a series of tests, manufactured at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, operated by Bechtel. These "experiments" test the sanity of U.S. policy, they wreak havoc on international politics, they violate the NPT treaty, break the Treaty of Ruby Valley, and they cause other nations to conduct nuclear weapons tests of their own. If you live in Las Vegas: Come to Sunrise Ceremony at the Nevada Test Site (65 miles northwest of vegas on US 95, mercury exit) followed by a creative non-violent direct action. Then join us in the afternoon between 3 and 5 pm at the Department of Energy building, 232 Energy Way just off Lossee road (north of Lake Mead blvd) as we vigil DOE workers. Call Shundahai 702-647-3095 for more info. If you live in the Bay Area there will be an action at the Bechtel Building 50 Beale Street (1 block south of Market). Call Sally Light for more info: 510-527-2057. There will also be actions held in Japan, Australia and Europe. We must continue to pressure the U.S. government and their corporate sponsors to stop this insanity. These subcritical nuclear weapons tests are a direct threat to our planetary health. They leave the deadliest substance ever created, only a hundred feet from our water table. This water has already been contaminated and is moving off of the Nevada Test Site. These deadly plumes will poison all life, and mutate the genes of our future generations. We must stop further contamination!!! The best cure for radiation is prevention. Please, please take action to stop these atrocities. Contact your Congress members and demand they ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Demand they work to uphold international law and stop these atrocities.

Dear Abolitionists, Here's a press release announcing the action at Bechtel in San Francisco protesting the "Oboe 4" subcritical nuclear test at NTS tomorrow, Thursday, April 6. Our protest will also be tomorrow, at noon. Sally Light Nuclear Program Analyst Tri-VAlley CAREs (Communities Against a Radioactive Environment) April 5, 2000 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Sally Light, Tri-Valley CAREs at (510) 527-2057, (925) 443-7148 Ann Beier, Western States Legal Foundation at (510) 839-5877 Sherry Larsen-Beville, Livermore Conversion Project at (510) 663-8065 "OBOE 4" SUBCRITICAL NUCLEAR TEST PLAYS ON DESPITE UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE TO REVIEW NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY; ACTIVISTS WORLDWIDE PROTEST US' 11TH TEST SINCE 1997; LOCAL DEMONSTRATION AT BECHTEL CORPORATION IN SAN FRANCISCO. "CHALK ACTION" AT NOON ON THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 2000, AT BECHTEL OFFICES LOCATED AT 50 BEALE ST., SAN FRANCISCO, 1 BLOCK SOUTH OF MARKET STREET BART STATION. For the second time in two weeks, the US will detonate an underground subcritical nuclear test at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). Bay Area activists will join activists around the world in protesting this test, which is code-named "Oboe 4." Designed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, =93Oboe 4=94 is the 11th in= a series of such tests beginning in mid-1997. Just two weeks ago, on March 21st, the 10th subcritical nuclear test, "Thoroughbred," was exploded at NTS, engendering protests in the US, Japan, Australia and Europe. In addition to these underground tests, there are ongoing above ground subcritical tests at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. The Bay Area protest is planned for noon on Thursday, April 6th at Bechtel Group's international headquarters in San Francisco at 50 Beale St., just one block south of the Embarcadero BART station on Market Street. Protesters from a coalition of peace organizations, including Tri-Valley CAREs (Communities Against a Radioactive Environment), Western States Legal Foundation, Livermore Conversion Project, and California Peace Action, to name a few, will converge on the sidewalks around Bechtel's office building, where they will write the names of many of the over 1,000 US nuclear tests since the beginning of the "nuclear age" in 1945. Bechtel is targeted by protesters because it has a multi-billion dollar contract with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to operate NTS, and also is engaged in other numerous nuclear-related activities at DOE sites around the country's nuclear weapons complex. Subcritical nuclear tests are "subcritical" in that they do not reach criticality, or the level of a self-sustaining chain reaction. However, they do involve high explosives being blown up with fissile material such as plutonium, while monitoring equipment records the explosion for subsequent technical analysis. The resulting data are then fed as updates into the DOE's nuclear weapons computer codes. "We are extremely upset that the US continues to detonate these tests, especially just before the month-long Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference which convenes at the UN in New York later this month," stated Sally Light, Nuclear Weapons Program Analyst with Tri-Valley CAREs, the Livermore antinuclear group that "watchdogs" Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where "Oboe 4" was prepared. "Oboe 4," like all subcritical tests, violates the Non-Proliferation Treaty's Article VI, the recent World Court opinion upholding Article VI, and the intent of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty which bans all nuclear weapons tests," she continued. Ms Light explained that the NPT's Article VI places an obligation on nuclear nations to take affirmative steps to end nuclear weapons activities. The US is a signatory to that treaty, as well as to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). The CTBT failed ratification by the US Senate last year. "We are concerned that the US' recent failure to ratify the CTBT, plus the continuation of the US subcritical tests, undermine international trust in our commitment to disarmament," said Ann Beier, Associate Director of the Oakland antinuclear group, Western States Legal Foundation. She continued, "These tests also run counter to public surveys that indicate overwhelming popular support in the US and in other countries for ending nuclear tests and for achieving complete abolition of nuclear weapons." Later this month, representatives from both Tri-Valley CAREs and Western States Legal Foundation will attend the United Nations NPT review conference in New York, where they will participate in a panel at the UN on the DOE's "Stockpile Stewardship Program (SSP)," of which subcritical testing is a part. Both groups described the SSP as an extremely over-funded US nuclear weapons program committed to continuing the development of modernized nuclear weapons. The two groups also view subcritical tests as helping to renew a nuclear arms race - Russia, for instance, has responded by conducting its own subcritical tests. "There's no doubt that the SSP, including the subcritical nuclear tests, shows the federal government still has a "cold war" mentality," stated Sherry Larsen-Beville of the Livermore Conversion Project, the Oakland peace organization that coordinated the demonstration at Bechtel. "As the world's leading nuclear power, the US has a special responsibility to take the lead in nuclear abolition, particularly since it created these immoral weapons. We are demanding that the US end the subcritical tests, and honor the NPT, CTBT and the World Court opinion, as well as public opinion, by taking immediate steps toward nuclear disarmament," she concluded. For more information, please contact Tri-Valley CAREs at (925) 443-7148. - -30- - - To unsubscribe to abolition-usa, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe abolition-usa" in the body of the message.

The test comes as the US is poised to take part in the Review Conference of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty in the United Nations, April 24-May19. Article VI of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty requires the nuclear weapons states to negotiate to eliminate their nuclear weapons arsenals 'at an early date'. It has been in place since 1970 - thirty years. It is legally binding. Subcritical nuclear tests allow the continued possession of nuclear weapons and allow limited development of existing nuclear weapons designs. Many antinuclear groups argue that the conducting of subcritical nuclear tests violates the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, (CTBT) which the US has signed but which Congress refused to ratify. It is certain that the conducting of subcritical nuclear tests violates the spirit and intent of the CTBT. It is also certain that the conducting of subcritical nuclear tests 'the nuclear test you have when you're not having a nuclear test' on the eve of the review of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty sends a signal that the US, like Russia which also has an extensive subcritical test program, intends to keep its nuclear weapons when it has signed a treaty - a treaty also signed by every other nation except India, Pakistan, Israel and Cuba - that asks that it eliminate its nuclear weapons arsenal. The New Zealand Parliament, the Australian Senate, and the Canadian Senate have all recently passed resolutions that call on the nuclear weapons states to fulfill their obligations under the terms of the NPT.
