The Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission
have announced they plan further test explosions of nuclear
weapons next April.
In the past some 50,000 square miles of the
Pacific Ocean have been used for this purpose,
This area is
designated "dangerous to all ships; aircraft and personnel
entering it" and mariners are warned to remain clear,
Four
Americans acting under the compulsion of conscience and reason,
plan,
despite warnings,
to sail a small vessel into the
designated area before April 1st.
come what may,
They intend to remain there,
in an effort to halt what they belleve to be the
monstrous delinquency of our government in continuing actions
which threaten the well being of all men.
They recognize these
explosions will be stopped only if this is the will of the
American people.
They hope by their presence and,
if necessary,
by their suffering to speak to the reason and conscience of their
fellow Americans.
A parallel project to carry the same moral
and political message to the people and authorities of Russia
is being organized.
