GLOBAL NUKE-WEAPONS APPEAL HANDED TO BUSH, GORBACHEV, FISCHER, IN BERLIN A global appeal signed by over 460 organisations to take nuclear weapons off hairtrigger alert for the Y2K 'rollover' was handed to ex-presidents Bush and Gorbachev in Berlin on 9/11/1999, by Women for Peace Activist and ex-member of the European Parliament Eva Quistorp, via the President of the Bundestag. Similar letters have been handed to German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, and environment minister Jurgen Trittin, asking Germany to appeal to the US and Russia to de-alert their nuclear weapons. The appeal to Yeltsin and Clinton to take nuclear forces off hairtrigger alert over the Y2K rollover so that Y2K induced computer errors do not induce an accidental nuclear war has so far been signed by over 460 organizations worldwide including 22 Australian parliamentarians, 9NZ parliamentarians, 4 Canadian parliamentarians, 10 members of the European Parliament, 2 US congresspeople, and one MP from Moldova. It has been signed by the largest International environment groups in the world, Friends of the Earth International and Greenpeace International, by the British-American Security Information Council, the Centre for Defence Information in Washington, by the International Peace Bureau, by various national branches of IPPNW, Womens International League for Peace and Freedom, (WILPF) and a vast number of national and local groups. The possibility of accidental nuclear war as a result of Y2K induced computer error has been the subject of serious concern by strategic analysts, in view of the possibility of false information leading to 'unintended deadly consequences'. Official spokespeople have dismissed these claims, and US systems are claimed to be fully fixed, but the very nature of the Y2K problem is such that it is not possible to be sure that everything is 100% fixed. Y2K-related problems have been discovered in the US/Russsian 'hotlines'. The joint US/Russian Y2K strategic Stability Centre is not scedu;led to operate until 27 Dec, and depends on those hotlines. There is a small but real chance therefore of global catastrophe, which will be vastly reduced by taking nuclear weapons systems off current hairtrigger alert status. The Australian Senate has already passed two motions expressing concern over the possibility of accidental nuclear war over the Y2K rollover. A motion is now gathering support in the US Congress, and another is gathering support in the European Parliament. The United Nations General Assembly in its First Committee, approved a motion put by India, asking for nuclear weapons to be taken off alert. Bush and Gorbachev in 1991, took nuclear bomber forces off alert. All Nuclear Forces should be taken off alert now. Contact: Eva Quistorp, 49-30-323-9543.

Basically, President Directive Number 58 (signed in conjunction with the infamous President Directive 59 on waging a limited nuclear war--see my World Politics and International Law (Duke:1985),) provides that in the event of a "nuclear emergency" that is not defined, the President asserts the authority to place the country under martial law. I grew up during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when at school the principal came on the PA system and told us all to say a prayer because the Soviet ships were now moving towards the US naval blockade of Cuba. So let us suppose there is a repeat of this scenario. Only this time, hundreds of thousands of American citizens take to the streets and demand that we not be blown up. Presumably, under Presidential Directive 58 and its ilk, the President could shut down citizen protests designed to save our lives and the life of the world.This National Emergency Order by Clinton simply provides the legal predicate for the invocation of Presidential Directive 58 and its successors.

Basically, President Directive Number 58 (signed in conjunction with the infamous President Directive 59 on waging a limited nuclear war--see my World Politics and International Law (Duke:1985),) provides that in the event of a "nuclear emergency" that is not defined, the President asserts the authority to place the country under martial law. I grew up during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when at school the principal came on the PA system and told us all to say a prayer because the Soviet ships were now moving towards the US naval blockade of Cuba. So let us suppose there is a repeat of this scenario. Only this time, hundreds of thousands of American citizens take to the streets and demand that we not be blown up. Presumably, under Presidential Directive 58 and its ilk, the President could shut down citizen protests designed to save our lives and the life of the world.This National Emergency Order by Clinton simply provides the legal predicate for the invocation of Presidential Directive 58 and its successors.

Boyle Professor of International Law Survivor of the Cuban Missile Fiasco - -----Original Message----- From: David Crockett Williams [mailto:gear2000@lightspeed.net] Sent: Friday, November 12, 1999 8:53 PM To: Abolition 2000 USA; Abolition Caucus Cc: Peace through Reason; *Global Peace Walk Project; =Trilight - SF GPW2000 HQ; Paul Pureau Subject: (abolition-usa) Clinton's National Emergency Order regarding weapons of mass destruction Thus begins the sixth year of an official Presidentially declared national emergency regarding nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction. Can't this be an additional good angle for Abolition2000 to address this official national emergency with references to this order in all press releases, etc., and offer as how Abolition2000 campaign is trying to help the President to alleviate this specific national emergency? Wouldn't this seem to be a logical reason to motivate the citizens and all national legislators to support HR 2545 http://www.prop1.org to remediate this national emergency officially declared as such just since Nov'94? This certainly seems to negate the popular impression that its all ok now that the Soviet Union broke up and the "cold war ended". Am I missing something here or is this a real lever with which to lift public awareness and opinion about the need for abolition 2000? This seems like an important email list to be on from the White House. I wonder how one subscribes?
