Dear Sir, |
More than 100 people attended a recent public meeting organised by
the above organisation. The following resolution was passed unanimously: |
"Believing that sufficent [sic] evidence now
exists to indicate that the world level of radiation has become dangerously
high, and that therefore the reckless continuation of nuclear explosions,
apart from threatening the health of present populations is causing
irreparable damage to genetic inheritance of generations yet unborn;
we call upon the Governments of Great Britain, the United States and
U.S.S.R. to suspend forthwith further tests, and to intensify efforts
to obtain international agreement on the banning of all nuclear explosions." |
We do earnestly beg you to give this your serious consideration, and
to use your influence to help accomplish it. |
|
Yours faithfully,
|
| (signed) M. KNILL, |
| (Hon.Sec.) |
