Today is Wednesday 6 September 1995

In the early morning hours, at 7.30 am local time, the French Government has resumed the testing of nuclear warheads in the Pacific.

When I heared these news I could not believe it at first. Practically the entire world had asked the French to reconsider the decision of Jacques Chirac and not resume nuclear testing.

Somehow I had to release my frustration, my confusion and so I decided to collect a few documents from the World Wide Web and make them accessible to a much larger part of the population by converting them into this Help File.

And a "Help" File it is. I hope you will copy this file and give it to your friends, those with and those without access to the Internet and the World Wide Web. You could even print out some pages and distribute these...

Perhaps I should note here, that I am not a member of Greenpeace or any other environmental organisation, nor am I a politician (especially not a French one). I am also not reponsible for any of the opinions expressed in the documents I brought together, nor do I endorse them. I only wanted to provide the wider public a small "snapshot" or cross section of some of the opinions as they are represented on the Web.

Copyright Notice: As I have gathered the documents from the World Wide Web, they are not mine. The copyright to these pages remains by the authors of the documents. But I hope that none of them minds the much wider distribution possible via this medium. I would have asked each single author for permission to duplicate their efforts if time permitted. The restraint of time though means that these documents should be quickly distributed and so I could not ask for express permission. To see the documents on the Web itself I included the URL on top of each page.

Conversion Problems: Due to the conversion some mistakes might have been introduced, sorry about that! Also please realise that the Web has many graphical additions on these pages that I did not include (mainly technical reasons). Also the styles (paragraphs, tables, font sizes etc.) have been changed in practically all pages. As another point you should know that there are many more documents about this issue available on the Web, but at some arbitrary point I had to stop. If you do have Web access you could use the URLs in this file as a starting poit to further explore what's out there. PS: Not all the URLs given in the Web Pages have been stated. In short: This is only a bad substitute for the Web itself... But: As not everybody has access to it...

What I would like you to do: Yes, I'd like you to do something! Please use some of the ways described in the file to show your anger, frustration, confusion or whatever it is you feel about the nuclear tests at Mururoa. You could e-mail, fax, write letters or phone. And you should also ensure that this file is spread quickly. Upload it to other FTP sites, to your local BBS, give it to friends, whatever!

Together we can stop the French Government to abuse its power and to destroy the environment we all live in! Please help!

Second page of Introduction

Yes, this is really the second page of introductions.

I am really sorry that the quality of this file is so mediocre. On the Web all looks so much better and much more impressive (or depressing?).

Anyway, it is the next day, evening of the 7 September 1995 and the file is practically ready to be uploaded to several sites. Please spread it as well by uploading it to other sites yourself. Thank you.

If there will ever be an update of this file (no, I have not planned to do this, I don't even know how useful/useless this file will be to you) I will call it "lebomb2.zip", okay?

Shall I include my e-mail address? Okay, here it is:

ahamm@acs.itd.uts.edu.au

What about my s-mail address? Hmm, just don't send any French secret agents around, they might raid my house and bomb my computer! Okay, here it is as well:

And if you are a depressed French politician you are very welcome to write and explain me why France ("and the world!") needs these "tests"! And don't come me with this deterrent stuff!!!

Violence, BTW (by the way) is NOT the way to show your feelings! There are many other ways to convince the French Government that they got it completely wrong! So don't follow the example set in Papeete tonight, where the airport and parts of the city are burning after violent clashes between protesters and riot police. Really, stay peaceful in your protest and it will be this much stronger than the French!

Okay, that's it, I'm gonna compile it now!

Cheers to everybody and always keep your hopes up! :-)

Yours Jens

PS: I nearly forgot to take this chance and tell you that I can of course create much much better help files for Windows, if I have some more time! So if you have a nice little (paid...) job for me - you got my address!!!   ;-)

Stop the Bomb!

Stop the French A-Bomb!

            The H4 is a French Free Web!

                                  Read Me.

     Editorial (731k-.au file - monaural- Webmeister Speaks Out!)

     This Editorial-Real Audio...you can read along...he he he!

I can't believe that I have to write this.

I cannot believe that anyone would be stupid enough to blow off an atomic bomb in the South

Pacific in the nineties....even if it is an "underground" test in an uninhabited atoll. I cannot fathom

what good can possibly come from this planned detonation to take place in the middle of French

Polynesia . I can only see misguided national pride and a display of national tail feathers and puffed

out chests.

The French say that they'll only blow off a couple and then that will be it...they claim of course, that

no harm will come to the ocean environment around the test area. They claim of course that they

need to do these tests as a matter of national defense.

What does the venerable Jacques Cousteau have to say? Why the silence Jacques?

I say:

Boycott France and all things French!

I pledge the following and would urge you to do the same.

I will not visit France.

I will not buy any French products, including Champagne, wine, cheese, linens, art...nothing, nada,

squat...zippo!

I will write the French President and the French U.N. representative and tell them that we think that

they are grande stupides!

I urge you to do the same.

If they really must test another bomb, I suggest that they

drop it on the French Presidential Palace!

It is becoming obvious that they need to have some sense shaken into them!

Hi there,

I am one of the organizers of "STOP NUCLEAR TESTS!" votes running at

http://www.icepp.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~keshi/

Some of us had started the "STOP NUCLER TESTS!" chain mail. But it has caused a lot of

network problems, even though it has succeeded to attract many people's attention.

So, we are now collecting votes against French Nuclear Tests at the URL shown above. We now

have about 8,000 names from over 70 countries.

STOP EXPLOSIONS IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC - PROTEST !!!

On July 14, the French celebrate Bastille Day at Ala Moana Park. Join us to protest the decision of

the Government of France to resume nuclear testing.

FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1995

4:30 - 6:30 PM

ALA MOANA PARK

Meet at parking lot near Diamond Head entrance

BRING SIGNS

France took control of Tahiti in 1842, replacing the Queen with their own representative. France has

been exploding atomic bombs in the south Pacific for more than 25 years. The Maohi people are

French A-Bomb Test... Non! To: rabbett@aloha.com

The arrogance of the French Government is not to be believed... or tolerated! Why France feels the

need to go on pretending to be a "world power" and therefore "require" nukes, is beyond my

comprehension. I doubt if Greenpeace and boycotts will stop them... in the past the French Govt.

tested bombs anyway.

Is the US Govt. taking a stand on this?

To everybody who reads this.

I'm dissapointed...

Hi, my name is Rogier de Moel and I'm from The Netherlands.

I know that's far away from the Pacific, but I have been to Hawaii once and it struck me! It was so

beautiful and like a dream for me. The islands in the South Pacific should maintain that beauty too! If

they keep testing A-bombs nature may never be able to restore itself. Therefore i hope that the

French won't test anymore bombs.

Aloha!

Isn't it amazing how quick the European Nations are to act when an onslaught of innocent lives are

being victimised because of the outbreak of war. Yet here we have the French not only testing out

bombs of massive destruction but also contributing to the deterioation of our planet. HOW DARE

THEY ? Yet, doesn't it amaze the people of this planet that none of the other nations have said

anything about the tests that the French are about to conduct. I wonder how much involvement

America and Germany have in the Tests ?

Even though the opposition is against the french government, you may wish to let individual french

people know how you think they can make the government of their country change its mind. Even

though I have received emails from French citizens sayin g that they do not represent their

(from the German Chaos Computer Club)

Dear fellow citizens of this (mostly harmless) planet

As you know, most inhabitants of our planet would rather not have anyone detonate thermo-nuclear

devices anywhere near our solar system. As you may also know, the French government is about to

bluntly ignore this general concensus by exploding a series of nuclear bombs under the Mururoa atol

in the Pacific. These nuclear tests threaten the health and security of many people.

The people around Mururoa and all over the world have to fight a nationalistic government for

Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, once the ideals of the French Revolution.

It is necessary to use all available means to make the French government and military establishment

see how serious this situation is.

Therefore we urge everyone who reads this to express their concerns on this matter, from

September 1st (World Peace Day) every day at 11.55 hrs (five minutes before noon) local Paris

time, by using all available means to disrupt French telecommunications.

Make their ears ring, their fax machines burn out, their telephone systems collapse and their Internet

lines glow.

The appendix to this message contains a list of ministries, companies and organisations that stand for

the policy of nuclear testing.

Use all possible means of no-cost communication and intelligent handling of technology to avoid

excessive financial transactions between you and your local telephone mafia.


Letter to Chirac

http://www.chch.planet.org.nz/chirac.html

15th June, 1995

President Jacques Chirac,

French Government

Dear President Chirac,

The French Government's decision to conduct a further series of nuclear tests in the South Pacific

demonstrates a blatant and arrogant disregard for the peoples of that region and the world

community in general. It also runs counter to public opinion within France.

170 Nations at the Non-Proliferation Treaty Extension Conference pledged themselves to remaining

nuclear-weapons-free on the understanding that the existing powers committed themselves to the

elimination of nuclear weapons.

It is very clear that the French Government does not take this responsibility seriously and this does

not augur well for the prospects of nuclear disarmament.

We urge the French Government to take heed of the unprecedented level of opposition being voiced

by numerous organisations and countries around the world, if it has any aspirations to be regarded as

a responsible player on the world stage.

Yours sincerely,

Kevin McBride,

PRESIDENT

From: IPPNW@OLN.comlink.apc.org (IPPNW Int Aerzte gg Atomkrieg)

Dear Friends,

Monsieur le President,

Nous avons appris par la presse votre intention de reprendre les essais nucleaires dans le

Sud-Pacifique. En tant que medecin, nous vous demandons de reconsiderer votre decision.

La reprise des essais nucleaires pourrait entraineraient un grand prejudice aux negociations pour un

traite garantissant l'arret definitif des essais nucleaires, traiti tant espiri depuis longtemps. Comme

vous le savez, les Etats signataires du traiti de non-proliferation nucleaire ont declari que l'arret des

essais completerait en 1996 leur engagement. La France, en reprenat les essais, prendrait le sens

inverse du chemin conduisant au disarmament. L'arret total et definitif des essais est presque ` notre

portie, s'il vous plait, ne compromettez pas cette chance qui peut delivrer le monde de la

proliferation nucleaire.

Les essais nucleaires, y compris les essais souterains, ont un effet direct sur la sante des habitants du

Pacifique et sur leur environnement. Les materiaux fissiles residuel peuvent, a partir du sol, entrer

dans la channe alimentaire. Il y a plus de 20 kilos de plutonium 239 qui restent emprisonne au fond

du lagoon de Mururoa. Plus generalement, les essais remettent en cause l'equilibre ecologique, du

corail, ce qui entraine d'avantage de risques de "ciguatera", la toxine responsable a d'ailleurs ete

isolie a partir des poissons du lagoon de Mururoa.

Est-ce bien le role de la France, et de ses traditions, de defier le droit des militairement obsoles?

Je vous demande encore, au nom de la paix et de l'avenir du monde, de ne pas reprendre les essais

nucleaires pour tester ces armes horribles de destruction massive.

Sinchrement vous,

CHRONOLOGY OF OPPOSITION TO A RESUMPTION OF NUCLEAR TESTING IN THE  SOUTH PACIFIC - June 17, 1995 (GP)

Written  6:01 PM  Jun 19, 1995 by web:greenbas in igc:gp.press

 ---------- "06/17 Chrono of French Test Opposit" ----------

    May 7:     Jacques Chirac is elected President of France.

    May 8:     The South Pacific Forum, in a formal statement welcoming

the election President Chirac, said France's relations with the region would be damaged if tests resumed.

The New Zealand and Australian governments reiterate their

opposition to a resumption of nuclear testing.

    May 9:     Denmark, on behalf of the five Nordic countries, issued a

statement at the NPT Review and Extension Conference, calling for

a continued moratorium:

"The negotiations on a comprehensive test-ban treaty should be

concluded as soon as possible.  Until that has been accomplished

all nuclear-weapon States, including China, must refrain from

nuclear testing." (NPT/CONF.1995/31)

A large number of countries at the NPT Conference, in statements

to the floor, urge all nuclear weapon states to maintain their

nuclear testing moratoria and agree a Comprehensive Test Ban

Treaty in 1995 or 1996 at the latest.

    May 12:      Australia issues a formal statement welcoming the

indefinite extension of the NPT and opposing French nuclear

tests. Foreign Minister Gareth Evans said: "I repeat my appeal to

the new French President to maintain the suspension of nuclear

testing in the South Pacific..."

    May 22:      French Prime Minister Alain Juppe tells Parliament that

France would soon be in a position to decide if it needed to

resume nuclear weapons tests.

    May  23:     The Philippines President, Fidel Ramos, urges France to

abandon any plans of resuming nuclear testing in the Pacific. He

said in a statement the Philippines was deeply concerned with the

issue of nuclear testing in the Pacific because of the

environmental damage it caused and other hazards it posed to

countries in the area. "The Philippines calls upon France to

display the sense of global responsibility that it has shown on

many other occasions, by not resuming nuclear testing in the

Pacific," Ramos said.

    June 6:     France's Defence Minister Charles Millon welcomes a

report by a military experts panel, headed by Admiral Lanxade,

recommending a resumption of nuclear testing at Moruroa.  The

panel said up to ten tests would be 'politically palatable', and

should occur as soon as possible.

    June 6:     Greenpeace announces in Paris that it is sending its ship

the Rainbow Warrior to Moruroa.

    June 7:      The South Pacific Forum protests the suggestion that

France will resume testing.

    June 7:     The Director of the US Arms Control and Disarmament

Agency, John Holum, said the US hoped France would not resume

testing. "When the world is in the process of eliminating,

dramatically reducing their nuclear weapons, no country really

needs to be modernising and updating their nuclear capabilities."

    June 7:     The Fiji Government sends a diplomatic note to the French

ambassador to Fiji protesting any resumption.

    June 7:     The Australian Federal Cabinet endorses a joint

diplomatic offensive with New Zealand and other Pacific Island

states to deter France from resuming.  New Zealand's Prime

Minister personally rebukes the French Ambassador to New Zealand

over any resumption. The leader of the Labour opposition party

calls for a suspension of joint military cooperation with France

in the South Pacific.

    June 7:     The Foreign Affairs Minister of Chile announces that the

Chilean Government will make an official protest to France about

any resumption of nuclear testing  and would work with other

Latin American Governments to prevent further tests.

    June 7:     The secretariat of the Nuclear Free and Independent

Pacific Movement, the Pacific Concerns Resource Centre, calls for

an immediate suspension of France's South Pacific Forum Dialogue

Partner status should French testing resume.

    June 9:     Germany's opposition Social Democrat Party (SPD) calls on

France not to resume nuclear testing, saying it would be a slap

in the face for those countries which had accepted

indefinite extension of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

    June 10:     President Gaston Flosse of French Polynesia withdraws

his long-time support for nuclear testing and says he opposes

resumption of nuclear testing at Moruroa.

    June 10:     Chile, Ecuador and Peru, meeting at  a session of the

Association of American States, issued a statement urging France

not to resume tests at Moruroa atoll. The General Secretariat of

the Permanent Commission for the South Pacific representing

Colombia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru announces its opposition to

further testing in the Pacific.

    June 12:     President Chirac presides over a meeting of the Conseil

de Defense (Defence Council) during which a resumption of testing

is agreed.

    June 13:      President Chirac announces France will resume testing

at Moruroa atoll.  Eight tests will take place between September

1995 and May 1996, he says, before France agrees to a

comprehensive test ban treaty. The Socialist opposition oppose

the decision.

    June 14:     A massive storm of international outrage and domestic

protest is provoked by Chirac's decision.

France's former Socialist prime minister Laurent Fabius said

Chirac's decision was a "slap in the face" for the other states

which agreed to extend the NPT. French Socialist leader Henri

Emmanuelli called the decision a "grave error" and said there was

no military need for more tests since France's arsenal would be

operational until the year 2010. The French Socialist Party has

launched a nation-wide petition opposing the decision to resume

tests.  Demonstrations are planned in Paris at the Place de la

Bastille, Cherbourg and Caen on Tuesday.  An independent French

laboratory, CRII-RAD, has challenged President Chirac to allow it

to monitor the tests at Moruroa.  A week of protest is planned at

the Geneva Conference on Disarmament from June 27th.  Famous

French scientists and intellectuals have condemned the decision,

saying it is a political not technical decision.  In a full page

article in the Liberation newspaper, Raymond Castaing (well-known

for his work on radioactive waste), Professor Robert Guillaumont

(professor at the University of Orsay and a specialist in

plutonium chemistry), physicist Jean-Paul Schapiro, Nobel Prize

winning physicists Louis Neal and Simon Van de Meer, the

President of the French Academy of Sciences, Marianne Grunburg-

Manago, sociologist Paul Virilio, geneticist Axel Kahn, famous

biologist Jacques Testard, geneticist Albert Jacquard, physicist

Raymond Sene and the president of the Group of Scientists for

Information on Nuclear Energy, Monique Sene opposed the decision.

Notably, a scientist from the Commisariat a L'Energie Atomique

(Atomic Energy Agency), the agency responsible for the testing

programme made a public protest. Physicist Michel Cribier said he

was ashamed to belong to an organisation promoting the resumption

of testing. He said he would launch a special appeal to other

scientists at an international gathering in Trieste and on

electronic mail.

Australia announces it is freezing all military cooperation with

France at existing levels.

New Zealand dismisses the French ambassador from a meeting with

Foreign Minister Don McKinnon, and also freezes military

cooperation.  It says it does not rule out sending a NZ frigate

to the test zone. The military activities being cancelled

include:

 Planned visit by HMNZS Waikato, Endeavour and Wellington to

Noumea in New Caledonia in November.

 Troop and military personnel exchanges with French forces in

New Caledonia in September

 Visits to New Zealand by French naval vessels and aircraft

There will also be a review of military procurement activities

involving French supplies.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rt Hon Don McKinnon, will no

longer attend the 50th anniversary of the end of the war in the

Pacific commemorations planned in New Caledonia and other

Ministerial contact will be reviewed.

Belgium officially condemns the decision to resume testing:

"Belgium is deeply disillusioned by the French decision to resume

nuclear testing in the Pacific Ocean. Belgium regrets the French

attitude even more because it runs counter to the spirit of the

Non-Proliferation Treaty, which was signed last April in New

York. The French decission threatens to undermine the solidarity

which was convened by the extension of the NPT. Belgium notes

that France wants to restrict the number of nuclear tests to 8

and that it intends to sign a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in

1996 at the latest." (Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement)

The United States says it 'regrets' France's decision

to resume testing. Twenty one Congress representatives write to

President Clinton asking him to urge President Chirac to reverse

his decision.  At a press conference after meeting President

Chirac in Washington D.C., President Clinton says: "As you know,

we regret the decision and we have worked hard to try to stop the

test as a way of setting up greater willingness to have a

comprehensive test ban treaty.  We have foregone testing

ourselves.  But I do want to point out that the French have

pledged before President Chirac came here -- and he has

reaffirmed that pledge, which you just heard -- to achieve a

comprehensive test ban treaty by next year.  Also, France was

very helpful in supporting the indefinite extension of the NPT."

Sweden's Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson issues a formal

statement, deeply regretting France's decision to resume nuclear

tests. "We have also conveyed this directly to the French

government," says prime minister Ingvar Carlsson. "The French

decision is particularly disappointing because it comes only one

month after the conference on the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),

where the nuclear weapons states promised to demonstrate the

utmost constraint on continued nuclear testing. The Swedish

government hopes that the ongoing negotiations in Geneva on a

test ban treaty are not negatively affected by France's

decision..." (Swedish Ministry of State, Press Release, June 14,

1995.)

Finland's Foreign Affairs Minister, Ms. Tarja Halonen, said:

"Finland regrets the decision of France to continue nuclear

testing between September 1995 and May 1996." She reminded all

the nuclear weapon states of their commitment to agree a

Comprehenisve Test Ban Treaty by 1996.

Denmark's Foreign Minister states: "It is with surprise and

sincere regret that I learn that the President of France, Jacques

Chirac, today has decided to carry out 8 nuclear tests within the

period from September this year till May next year.  In doing so,

France lifts the temporary moratorium on nuclear tests it has

maintained for a number of years. It is particularly regrettable

because the 178 nations, including

France, that have joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) only

one month ago, agreed on a recommendation to the nuclear weapons

states to demonstrate the utmost constraint on conducting nuclear

tests.  This recommendation must be seen in relation to the

ongoing negotiations on a treaty on a comprehensive test ban. The

French decision is also surprising because France had

declared that is prepared to join such a ban. I will discuss this

issue with my French colleague as soon as possible. ( Danish

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Press Release, Jun 13, 1995.)

Japan's Foreign Minister Yohei Kono told French Foreign

Minister Herve de Charette by telephone on Wednesday that the

French decision had "seriously betrayed" the trust of nonnuclear

states and the decision was disappointing. Kono told Charette

that Prome Minister Tomiichi Murayama would take up the issue

when he meets Chirac in Paris after the June 15-17 Halifax sumit

of the G-7 countries. Kono said Japan would also raise the

question during a Franco-Japanese summit in Paris next week.

Ireland protested at France's plans. The Prime Minister, Mr

Bruton, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr Spring, expressed

"strong concern" to the French  authorities. The  decision would

be  viewed as a setback to the efforts to bring  about  an early

and complete ban on nuclear testing, Mr Spring said. "There is

still time for the French government to change its mind and I

believe that they should reconsider that decision". Mr Spring

pointed out that at the recent NPT review and extension

conference in New York, the nuclear powers undertook to exercise

the utmost restraint and to conclude a Comprehensive Test Ban

Treaty no later than 1996. "In the light of the outcome of the

conference, it is particularly  disappointing that two nuclear

powers, France and China, have decided to continue testing", he

said.

The Netherlands said it regretted France's decision to resume

nuclear tests in the Pacific and called for the earliest possible

conclusion of a general nuclear test-ban treaty.  The foreign

ministry said in a statement that the parties to the

Non-Proliferation Treaty had agreed last month that nuclear

powers should exercise utmost restraint with respect to nuclear

testing, pending the entry into force of a test ban treaty. "The

government is of the opinion that the decision by France is at

odds with this intention and continues to urge all nuclear states

to refrain from conducting nuclear tests," it said.

Chile slammed the French decision to resume nuclear testing. A

Foreign Ministry statement said: "Chile rejects France's decision

which could be a serious threat for the development of talks for

a treaty ending nuclear testing which is an aspiration of highest

priority for our country.  The Chilean government makes an urgent

call to the French government to reconsider this decision which

would benefit the protection of human life and the environment,"

it said.

Canada urged France to reverse its decision, saying it could

result in an expansion of the number of nuclear powers.

"Those who are nuclear powers have to agree to stop doing their

testing as soon as possible," Foreign Minister Andre Ouellet

said. "This is to us absolutely crucial to ensure that there will

not be a spinoff of encouraging others to do testing or to start

to prepare to assemble nuclear armaments."

Austria expressed disappointment at France's decision. Austrian

chancellor Franz Vranitzky said it could endanger a comprehensive

test ban treaty. "I regret France's decision...Austria has always

argued for a ban on nuclear testing and we will continue with

this line...Everything must be done to ensure that France's

decision does not endanger the planned comprehensive nuclear test

ban treaty."  Vranitzky spoke to French Prime Minister Alain

Juppe by telephone to voice his protest.

Russia regretted France's decision and urged President Chirac to

reconsider his decision.  Yeltsin's spokesperson said: "Russia

finds the announcement of the French leadership that it may

conduct a series of nuclear tests in the fall regrettable. If

they do it, it could become a serious blow to the progress in

nuclear disarmament that we have been watching for the past

several years. We would like to hope that France would, in an

appropriate way, study all the circumstances and consequences

which a realisation of the decision on nuclear tests will bring

about," an official statement said.  Sergei Yushenkov, chairman

of the State Duma defence committee, described the decision by

President Jacques Chirac to authorise eight more tests at

France's South Pacific site, as a mistake. "Russia must make the

request to the French president not to carry out testing,

certainly not in such a quantity," Yushenkov said.  Members of

the Russian Duma, led by former environment Minister Nicolai

Vorontsov, who are members of GLOBE (a global parliamentarians

group) condemn further French tests.

Italy's Foreign Ministry said the French decision to conduct

eight underground tests in the South Pacific from September ran

counter to a moratorium on testing observed by France, Britain,

Russia and the United States since 1992. But it added that

Chirac's simultaneous announcement that testing would end next

May in time to sign a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty was positive

news.

Norway urged France to change its nuclear test plans. The French

decision could endanger a comprehensive test ban treaty, Foreign

Minister Bjoern Tore Godal said in a statement. "The government

strongly regrets the French decision to resume nuclear testing,"

he said. "Norway calls on French authorities to alter the

decision."

French Polynesia's political leaders opposed the decision. A

Polynesian representative to the French Parliament and former

mayor of Papeete, Jean Juventin said an alternative could have

been found. "I can't deny that there will be a local reaction. As

a parliamentarian I reject this decision and I will write to the

president...to express my dissatisfaction," he said.  Jackie

Drollet, a Polynesian independence campaigner, deplored the

decision, and Centrist senator Daniel Millaud dubbed the decision

"perhaps the first big blunder of the president" and said a

nuclear weapon simulation could have been used instead of a real

test. Polynesian independence leader Oscar Temaru also expressed

strong opposition to a resumption of testing and said protest

action was planned.

The Cook Islands expressed concern at a resumption of French

nuclear  tests.  Minister of Marine Resources Tepure Tapaitau

said he was "both concerned and opposed to nuclear testing

resuming especially if research shows it will affect our waters."

The South Pacific Forum, representing 15 Pacific Island nations,

condemned France's decision. Forum Secretary General Ieremia

Tabai said in a statement that French testing in the South

Pacific would severely damage its relations with region's island

nations. "This flagrant disregard for world and regional opinion

will do considerable  damage to France's relations with the forum

region," Tabai said, describing the  decision as a provocative

act.

Luxembourg officially condemned the resumption of French testing.

Switzerland officially protested at France's decision.

Western Samoa's Prime Minister Tofilau charged France with

displaying insensitivity to South Pacific nations.  "The

resumption of tests in the South Pacific by France can only be

interpreted as insensitivity to the deep concerns of the South

Pacific nations on the effects of nuclear testing to the

environment," Tofilau said.

European ecologists, "green" politicians and anti-nuclear

pressure groups joined the global chorus condemning France for

its decision to resume nuclear testing in the South Pacific.

"This decision by the French President shows an appalling

disregard for France's partners within the European Union," Green

Group co-presidents Claudia Roth and Alexander Langer said at the

European Parliament in Strasbourg. "Europeans do not want to have

their security policy defined by the narrow and totally outdated

dictates of the French nuclear establishment," they said.

The German Green Party called Chirac's announcement a return to

"nuclear superpower politics" and a "fatal signal to the despots

of the world."

    June 15:     Europe's Parliament passed an emergency resolution condemning

France's decision to resume tests.  It stated that member nations

were "shocked by the decision of French President Chirac" and

urged France to reconsider its decision.  It also condemned the

continuing nuclear tests by China and warned that if nuclear

powers breach the spirit or the letter of the Nuclear

Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), other states could follow suit.

The European Parliament resolution will now be forwarded to the

European Council, the European Commission, to all Governments who

signed the NPT and to the Chairman of the UN Conference on

Disarmament in Geneva. Those voting for the resolution included

the Fianna Fail conservative group, allies of the French RPR MEPs

in the Parliament.

    June 17:      A delegation from the South Pacific Forum countries

leaves for Paris to try and persuade President Chirac to reverse

his decision on nuclear testing.

STATEMENTS IN FAVOUR OF A RESUMPTION OF TESTING

Britain: "We see no reason why a limited programme of tests need

affect the prospects of a successful negotiation of a

comprehensive test ban treaty."

Extreme-right National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen: "France

has not surrendered with its hands and feet bound to the dictates

of foreign governments or the threats of the anti-military

lobby," Le Pen said in a statement. France should carry out

however many tests it took to perfect laboratory simulation of

nuclear explosions to keep the French deterrent credible and

restrict its commitment to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,

which was not enforced in practice, he said.

Reasons for ...

Recently (in the last two days - July 13,14), I received some email from the actual

people that I had listed on this site as people to contact and express your

protest. Some of these messages to me from these French citizens accused me

of breaching nettiquette.

My hope, in the Net community sending email to these people, was that some of

them, especially the ones that run major web sites, would put a message of

protest against their own governments on their home page.

Anyway, I sincerely apologise if I offended any of those individuals.

When I placed the french individuals' email addresses up, I was well aware of the

breach in nettiquette. But the government of France were breaching a value that

was far more greater when it decided to resume nuclear testing in the Pacific.

I wander if they considered asking the poeples of the Pacific first !!!

I was accused by one of the individuals of trying to convince people to

mail bomb him. Fortunately, email does not kill. What more can I say...

Stop Nuclear Tests (French)

http://www.iijnet.or.jp/nuke/objective/fobjective.html

Arrêtons les essais nucléaires !

Motivation et objectif de cette pétition

(Thank you very much, Mr. Philippe Beaune, for the translation into French)

Nous pensons que beaucoup de gens éprouvent de la pitié à propos de la décision du gouvernement

français de reprendre les essais nucléaires. Quoiqu'il en soit, ces pensées n'aboutissent généralement

nulle part : elles sont juste enfouies au plus profond de nous.

Nous avons lancé cette action car nous voulons rassembler toutes ces pensées et en faire un grand

mouvement. Puisque nous pensons qu'il nous faut éviter l'éclatement de ce mouvement à cause de

petites différences d'opinions, la principale phrase de cette pétition est simplement

Arrêtons les essais nucléaires !

Bien entendu cela n'est pas suffisant : si vous avez votre propre désaccord , veuillez nous l'exprimer

et nous le mettrons dans notre liste.

L'objectif de cette action est, quoiqu'il en soit, de faire arrêter les essais nucléaires prévus par la

France. Pour cela, en temps que gens ordinaires, nous allons mettre le Président de la France et le

gouvernement français face au fait qu'il y a tous ces individus qui s'opposent à leur désision. Pour

obtenir gain de cause, nous prévoyons aussi d'informer la presse.

Nous aimerions que tout le monde et tous les groupes participent à cette action. Si vous êtes

d'accord avec nous, essayez de nous aider en faisant connaître cette action au plus grand nombre de

gens possible. De même, à condition que vous nous préveniez, vous êtes libres aussi d'informer des

journalistes. Néanmoins, vous ne devez pas utiliser la liste des signataires sans permission.

Cette action a d'abord été mise en oeuvre pour protester contre les essais nucléaires français, mais

nous sommes convaincus que nous devrons exprimer notre pensée aux autres groupes qui prévoient

de faire des essais nucléaires. De plus, il peut y avoir des suggestions telles que "pourquoi ne pas

boycotter les produits français ?" (telle n'est pas notre intention officielle). Nous avons mis en place

un espace "Opinions" pour ceux qui veulent exprimer leur opinion.

Nous espérons fortement que vous participerez à cette activité. Arrêtons VRAIMENT les essais

nucléaires !

J'apprecierais beaucoup que vous traduisiez ce texte dans une autre langue et que vous me

l'envoyiez.

If you haven't heard the news From Freedom:

   1.On the weekend it was reported that a significant number of staff at

      Mururoa Atoll have had their leave suspended with the speculation

      that France wants to move its nuclear tests forward.

   2. It was also reported that the French will use tear gas against any

      protesters at the atoll

   3. Australian Defence Minister Robert Ray has announced the

      exclusion of French company Dassault Aviation from tendering for

      the supply of training aircraft to the Australian Air Force.

   4. In retailiation the French Government has now recalled its French

      Ambassador to Australia, Dominique Girard.

 This marks an escalation in the economic boycott of French Goods,

 Services & Companies.

 It also marks a detioriation of relations between Australia & France.

 It also marks a significant drop in the credibility of Chirac and his real

 reasons for conducting these tests - yet a further slide into barbarism for

 the French.

 Chirac is in for seven years & he doesn't have to listen to the majority of

 French people who are against the resumption of tests for at least six and

 a half years. He only got in on 20% (1st round) of the vote and only 52%

 (2nd round) of the vote. It is up to the people of France, the people of

 the world and their Governments to increase the pressure on France to

 stop these tests.

No More Hiroshimas Coalition

What is the French government planning in the pacific?

French President Jacques Chirac has announced that eight nuclear tests will be carried out on the Pacific atolls of Muroroa and Fangataufa, sometime between September 1995 and May 1996.

The French government has a long history of nuclear testing. Tests were first conducted in the Pacific in 1966  after Algerian independence made further testing in that country impossible.

Between 1966 and 1974, France conducted 44 atmospheric nuclear tests at Mururoa and Fangataufa atolls in French Polynesia.

In response to international campaigns, the tests were moved underground in 1975. They continued for almost nearly two decades.

The exact number of detonations is not known. The commonly accepted figure is around 130. However, on 27 April 1993, an official from the Commissariat a L'Energie Atomique  (CEA) acknowledged 161 tests. In December 1993, the CEA amended the figure to 192. On 18 December 1993, a report by Rene Galy-Dejean, a member of the National Assembly Defence Commission noted that the number of tests was 204, including 12 'safety tests'.

In 1992, the then President Francois Mitterand suspended the program and announced a moratorium on further tests.  At the Non-Proliferation Treaty conference in New York in May 1995, the French government - along with the other nuclear states - signed a formal ban to take effect in 1996, and agreed to exercise the 'utmost restraint' until then.

The announcement of a resumption of testing came only a month later. Though clearly alien to the spirit of a 'non proliferation treaty', the tests have been scheduled so as to comply to its letter.

Chirac and the French government claim that tests are routine, required to maintain  "the safety, the reliability and the security of French deterrent capability."

But in reality it is believed the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) - which has been lobbying the French government to reschedule testing for some time - will use the tests to evaluate the new TN-75 nuclear warhead for the M-45 missiles built for the nuclear Le Triomphant submarine, which is set to service sometime in 1995. The tests will also help to construct a variable strength nuclear warhead for the long-range air launched ASLP supersonic missile with a 1500 kilometre range.

DO ALL FRENCH SUPPORT FRENCH TESTING?

Clearly, they do not. A majority of French people are opposed to French nuclear testing, and have been for some time.

71 per cent approved the end of Pacific testing, and a 1994 poll found 75 per cent believed France should not resume its nuclear tests as long as other countries didn't restart their testing.  The French Communist Party, Socialist Party and the Greens are all opposed to testing. In the week following Chirac's decision, 6000 people rallied against testing in Paris. Further demonstration in France are being organised.

Nevertheless, the Chirac governments decision to recommence nuclear testing is largely driven by domestic political concerns.

That is, the 1995 French election revealed a deeply polarised nation. Chirac's conservative Rassemblement Pour La Republique (RPR) won a narrow victory over Lionel Jospin's Socialist Party, which did much better than expected. But more importantly,  over four million votes were cast for the far left - and five million for Jean-Marie Le Pen's fascist National Front.

Chirac is attempting to patch over these deep divisions with a program of right wing populism. With living standards in France declining, Chirac has pledged that France will remain a great power. As he put it recently,"It would be totally irresponsible for a major power not to carry out a little series of tests to ensure that our deterrent is as valid as it should be"

The nuclear tests are intended to signal to French people that - despite their domestic concerns - France will retain its place in the world.

IS FRANCE THE ONLY COUNTRY TO CARRY OUT NUCLEAR TESTS?

No. At present, the Chinese government is also conducting underground nuclear experiments at Lop Nor in the Western province of Xin Jiang.

In the past, most of the nuclear powers have carried out extensive testing programs.

Atomic bombs were first developed through a testing program carried out by the US government. The first test was carried out on 16th July 1945 at a place called Alamogordo in the New Mexico desert. It was conducted even though some scientists thought there was a possibility that the process might trigger a reaction with nitrogen in the atmosphere such that the whole planet would be destroyed!

By 1949, the Soviet Union was testing atomic weapons. The first British test was in 1953 with Prime Minister Winston Churchill boasting: "We had one and let it off - it went off beautifully".

The planned resumption of French testing has led to a growing interest from the military of other nations in testing their weapons. It is known that sections of the US military are pressing for tests, although to date the White House has  not given them the go ahead. Russia has made it clear that should the US begin tests it will follow suit. Similarly, it has been reported that Britain's defense chiefs are currently pressing the US to ease restrictions and to make testing facilities in the Nevada desert available again.

resume nuclear weapons testing at Mururoa Atoll

in the South Pacific. The French Government will

conduct eight tests between September and May

before signing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty

in 1996. The decision has caused an angry reaction

in Australia and other Pacific nations.

French admit tests led to radioactive leaks

August 3, 1995

French Defence Department documents released on Wednesday have shown that at least three nuclear tests have caused radioactive contamination in Mururoa and Fangataufa atolls. The document, which lists 204 nuclear tests in the atmosphere and underground in the Sahara and Polynesia from 1960 to 1992, claimed the affected sites had been decontaminated.

Freedom: Boycott Guide

http://www.pegasus.oz.au/~freedom/guide.html

2. A Guide to Boycott

                            The buck stops with you!

There is more to it than just not buying French goods. So here are some points for consideration.

     Always remember that we are not targeting the French people - many are with us. It is the

     French Government that is our target. Some people are advocating boycott of French

     restaurants, buying of croissants, camembert cheese, etc. or even speaking French! This is

     wrong as most French restaurants are owned by people who are living, or citizens of, your

     own country (& more than likely feel ths same as you do) and profits DO NOT GO BACK

     TO FRANCE. The same goes with products like croissants and, except for DeliFrance, are

     baked by local bakeries so profits DO NOT GO BACK TO FRANCE. The same goes for

     some cheese like camembert & brie. Advocating not speaking French will do nothing but

     increase racial tension - which is not the aim of this boycott. IF YOU ARE UNSURE IF A

     PRODUCT IS FRENCH MADE THEN ASK.

     Chirac has, up till now, stated that the resumption of testing is unnegotiable. He was elected

     on a VERY slim majority and the resumption was evidently one of his hidden agendas. In the

     first round of elections he only polled roughly 20% of the vote and the second round he only

     polled 52% of the vote.

     A major component of Government revenue comes from business. If business revenue is

     down - and they know the reason - business people will complain. Consequently, French

     Government revenue will also be down, they will be the brunt of the complaints, they will

     know the reason for the complaints and revenue drops and, of course, the buck stops with

     them!

     Don't purchase any product on the boycott list unless absolutely necessary - ie. life

     threatening. Make the commitment and decide. There are many other products available that

     will do just as well.

     Be prepared that it will take time. There is already massive international support against the

     resumption of tests as well as local. Just be patient and "maintain the rage".

     Boycott effects are cumulative. If they lose money this week they have to try to sell more next

     week which is harder because you have removed your buying power from their network. As

     the word spreads more people will remove their buying power from the network making it

     harder still.

     Talk about it - it will only take a minute of your time.

     If a shop is stocking French made goods point it out to them and ask them what they are

     going to do about them and why you are asking. ie. "you've got French champagne in the

     fridge. You've got BIC pens on your shelf. What do you think about the nuclear testing? Are

     you going to stop ordering French goods?". In other words feel them out - they may have

     already paid for the goods but will not order any more until testing is stopped. On the other

     hand they may not care. If they don't care walk out. Don't buy anything. Go to another shop,

     store, etc.

     That effect will snowball because what they are seeing is money walk out the door. A

     business person is dependent on the amount of customers that walk in the door - they don't

     have the security of a wage at the end of a week. So if you walk out they are seeing a loss in

     income walking out. They want to make a sale not lose one.

     Don't be afraid to speak up. If there are others in the shop even better. You may also affect at

     least one other person in the shop who is wavering. (Always remember to keep cool as anger

     will only alienate people & cause loss of credibility). It is also democracy at work.

     So they will talk. Business is business and the major thing that business people talk about is

     how to get more business - which means looking at why they also lose business. It's very

     important to their livelihood.

     In other words, a business person's wage depends on you.

     So if a business person sees they are losing business (their livlihood) because of their attitude

     they will quickly change it. They will also talk to other customers & business people and to

     their suppliers who will talk to the importers, etc. and so the effect with the message goes

     back to where we want the effect to be felt - French business. They have exactly the same

     attitude too and they are there at the source, the place to put pressure on Chirac and his

     clique.

     A final example is ALCATEL who do a lot of maintenance on photocopiers, faxes, etc. If you

     need photocopying at a bureau check the label and if it has Alcatel on it then go elsewhere -

     but tell the proprietor first, he may change to a different maintenance company. The same

     goes for printers - if they use printing ink from Coates Bros.

     Read over this list from time to time just to remind yourself that you are indeed having an

     affect.

Mr Jacques Chirac

President

Republic of France

Dear Mr President

I am writing to register the strongest possible protest at your decision to resume nuclear tesing in the South

Pacific.

The testing is unnecessary, environmentally damaging, and a flagrant disregard for the health and well being of

peoples in the South Pacific region.

The testing also severly compromises Frances commitment to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. What

example does it set the rest of the world when a leading western nation can so blatantly breach the spirit of a

Treaty renewed only a month ago?

With the resumption of nuclear testing how can France be seriously committed to the long term objective of the

Treaty of eliminating all nuclear weapons from the planet?

Mr Chirac, if you believe these nuclear tests necessary, conduct them France.

                         From: katie@chch.plaNet.co.NZ

       UPDATE from AOTEAROA /NZ re

    FRENCH/US TESTS and WCP 21.6.95

Dear Friends,

What an amazing week it has been, culminating yesterday in the announcement that our government

had finally submitted a substantial submission to the World Court which included our 'unequivocal

opposition to the breaking of the moratoria on nuclear tes ting.'

In a Press release issued by the Minister of Foreign Affairs it was stated that : "Even if it is not

possible to say that in every case international law proscribes the threat or use of nuclear weapons,

there is little doubt the law has been moving in this direction. We have made it clear NZ's view is that

the sooner this point is reached the better. The statement suggests international law and state

practice relevant to the use of nuclear weapons has been steadily increasing and developing over the

years."

The Minister also commented on how pleased he had been to receive a number of comments from

the public which were taken into account when the statement was being prepared. "In particular,

NZ's position on nuclear weapons, nationally, regionally and globally, is clearly set out." We await

with bated breath!!

Possible resumption of US tests.

With unequalled media interest in the French testing issue, Perry's statement re possible US testing

could not have been better timed . An enraged Parliament demanded a meeting with US

Ambassador Beeman yesterday. He was forced to check out with the White House and confirmed

last night that the US administration does not support a resumption of testing.

Beeman's response to Perry's recommendation was that "Mr Perry is one of many of the President's

advisers.... but the President will make a decision as to whether the US will resume nuclear testing.

The President has held the line at the White House." He confirmed that the US had recently

extended the US moratorium to September 1996 when the CTBT should take effect.

With disbelief, we heard our conservative government even threaten to cut military ties with the US if

they resumed testing despite a recent thaw in the 10 year freeze. Electorally they know that this is the

one issue which unites our peoples across all political spheres, and an election is due next year.

French Tests.

After some power playing, the Australians finally bowed to pressure from our government and

allowed our Disarmament Minister on to a South Pacific delegation to meet the French Foreign

Minister for 1 1/2 hours yesterday. The outcome was as expected - no change from the French .

One small concession was an indication that France would consider signing the nuclear free zone

protocols of the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty.

On June 19th , the Australian Parliament under intense pressure from their peace movement,

condemned France's decision to resume testing passing a motion which also called on France to

reverse the decision. The motion was passed after more than 6 hours of acrimonious debate

between the Government and conservative opposition parties. The opposition had criticised the

earlier weak opposition of the Labour Government, sought a tougher motion, calling for the

suspension of military ties and the recall of Australia's Ambassador to France.

The boycott of French goods seems to be spreading in Australia , but according to a NZ poll taken

yesterday, sales of French wine don't seem to be affected. Qantas Australia flight attendants would

not serve, sell or distribute French products on flights. Attendants had decided at a meeting late last

week that they would not handle French products, meaning French champagne would not be served

in first class and French perfumes and alcohol would not be sold from the duty-free cart.

Further actions detailed in the Christchurch Press this morning are:

     France's honorary consul in Tasmania has quit the post in protest over the resumption of

     testing.

     Victorian shoppers where changing their European travel plans and boycotting frog's legs, but

     still buying French perfumes and cars. Melbourne's Frenchy's Restaurant has suffered a

     "massive decline"in patronage.

     Australians are using the computer superhighway to protest to President Chirac over his

     decision to resume testing. Hundreds of Aussies have used Internet to send protests direct to

     Chirac's Email in Paris. The address was supplied by AUSNet and local newspapers which

     set up a protest page called "Your Say" over the weekend.

Further news from New Zealand:

     Labour MPs have initiated a postcard campaign to the French Ambassador. Yesterday they

     handed t he first 6,000 cards to him in Wellington.

     Commonwealth Secretary-General Chief Anyaoku who is in NZ said he expects regional

     concerns over French nuclear testing to be voiced at the Commonwealth Heads of

     Government Meeting in Auckland later this year.

Thank you all for your support for those of us in the testing region. It is so overwhelming to hear

reports of all the actions worldwide being carried on our media. I awoke this morning to the dulcet

tones of Vic Sidel (IPPNW) wafting through my room as he articulated strongly the opposition of us

all to resumed tests. There was also someone from Mouvement de la Paix and the Belgian peace

movement interviewed.

Well done! Keep up the pressure ! Our next move is to push our governments to get a regional

peace blockade around Mururoa..... dreams are free - and sometimes they succeed! Onwards and

upwards...

Chaos: Keine Atomtests!

http://race-server.race.u-tokyo.ac.jp/NUKE/Chaos/NOATOMD.html

Liebe Mitbewohner dieses (größtenteils harmlosen) Planeten !

Die französische Regierung plant sich über die Interessen des größten Teils der Bevölkerung der

Erde hinwegzusetzen.

Weitere Atomtests sollen trotz weltweiter Proteste und unter drastischer Gefährdung der Sicherheit

und Gesundheit von vielen Menschen ab September auf der Insel Muroroa stattfinden.

Die Ideale der französischen Revolution von Freiheit, Gleichheit und Brüderlichkeit werden von einer

nationalistischen Regierung ad absurdum geführt.

Um der Regierung in Paris und den wesentlichen Konzernen den Ernst der Lage zu verdeutlichen,

rufen wir alle denkenden und fühlenden Wesen auf, ab dem 1.9.1995, dem Weltfriedenstag, jeden

Tag ab 5 vor 12 Pariser Ortszeit alle verfübaren Kommunikationsmittel zu nutzen um den Protest

auszudrücken, bis ihnen die Ohren klingeln, die Faxgeräte rauchen, die Telefonsysteme kollabieren

und die Internetleitungen glühen.

Im Anhang findet ihr Listen von Ministerien, Unternehmen und Organisationen, die für die Politik der

Atomtests stehen. Nutzt auch Möglichkeiten der kostenfreien Kommunikation und intelligenten

Techniknutzung, um den Telefongesellschaften nicht zuviel Geld in den Rachen zu werfen.

Chaos Computer Club, Deutschland


Chaos: No more Tests!

http://race-server.race.u-tokyo.ac.jp/NUKE/Chaos/NOATOMF.html

Chers cohabitants de ce planete,

Le gouvernement français essaie de se mettre au dessus des interêts de la plupart des habitants

de la terre.

Malgré des protestations mondiales et au mépris de la sécurité et la santé de nombreux hommes,

nouvelles explosions nucléaires sont planifié de se dérouler dés le mois de septembre sous l'ile de

Mouroroa.

Les idées de liberté, égalité, fraternité de la revolution française sont menées à l'absurdite par un

gouvernement nationaliste.

Pour démontrer au gouvernement à Paris la sériosité de ces objections, nous appellons aux tous

créatures intelligentes d'exprimer leur proteste chaque jour à midi moins cinq (temps locale parisien)

dés le 1er septembre, le jour de la paix, en se servant de touts moyens de communication possibles.

Utilisez le téléphone, le téléfax, l'Internet jusqu' á la limite de capacité.

Dans l'appendice vous trouvez une liste des ministères, des entreprises et des organisations qui sont

liés à la politique des tests nucléaires. Servez vous des moyens de communication de maniére

intelligent pour ne pas passer trop d'argent aux societés PTT.

                           LATEST NEWS

              If you haven't heard the news From Freedom

   1.On the weekend it was reported that a significant number of staff at

      Mururoa Atoll have had their leave suspended with the speculation

      that France wants to move its nuclear tests forward.

   2. It was also reported that the French will use tear gas against any

      protesters at the atoll

   3. Australian Defence Minister Robert Ray has announced the

      exclusion of French company Dassault Aviation from tendering for

      the supply of training aircraft to the Australian Air Force.

   4. In retailiation the French Government has now recalled its French

      Ambassador to Australia, Dominique Girard.

 This marks an escalation in the economic boycott of French Goods,

 Services & Companies.

 It also marks a detioriation of relations between Australia & France.

 It also marks a significant drop in the credibility of Chirac and his real

 reasons for conducting these tests - yet a further slide into barbarism for

 the French.

 Chirac is in for seven years & he doesn't have to listen to the majority of

 French people who are against the resumption of tests for at least six and

 a half years. He only got in on 20% (1st round) of the vote and only 52%

 (2nd round) of the vote. It is up to the people of France, the people of

 the world and their Governments to increase the pressure on France to

 stop these tests.

You may also be interested in some background information I

have found while researching the issue, they include articles,

a database of all known nuclear explosions and a site holding

film clips.

Send a nuclear protest message to

M. Jaques Chirac , France's President

There was a message a few days ago from someone who had been looking for an e-mail avenue of

protest regarding the resumption of French nuclear tests.  The Sydney Morning Herald web site had the following by Tony Sarno (http://www.smh.com.au/news/)

THE Internet is revolutionising protest: hundreds of Australians who object to the resumption of

French nuclear testing in the Pacific have been using the global network to send their complaints

directly to those responsible, namely the French president, Jaques Chirac. If you want to flame the

president yourself, you can do so by connecting to the following Web site: Click here to flame the

French president, M. Jaques Chirac. - or more easily via the "Your Say" protest page put up by the

local Internet access provider AUSNnet Services at Click on the e-mail button on the AUSNet site

and you can send Chirac a pre-written letter which deplores his country's actions and questions his

commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The protest page also includes an e-mail

address for France's Le Monde newspaper (Lemonde@vtcom.fr), and an address for the French

Embassy Web site in Washington DC, as well as several French newsgroups (discussion forums).

AUSNet's managing director, Thomas Koltai, said e-mail was one of the most effective and easiest

ways of protesting. By late Monday, 564 users had accessed the protest page. "Even if only 10 per

cent sent Chirac a letter, that's 10 per cent that would not have done it unless they had automatic

e-mail to use," Koltai said. Even if Chirac himself never actually sees the e-mail, his staff would

undoubtedlly monitor the number of messages he received. The e-mail form for Chirac warns that

"due to the numerous mail we are receiving, we cannot guarantee any response from the

[president]". ______________________________________________________ Ms Tracy

   Simply stop what you are doing for one minute to think about world peace.

                     A United Nations Peace Initiative

          500,000 VOTE PETITION

               Cyber-Vote have combined with the School Children's Nuclear

          Protest (Aus & NZ) resulting in a 500,000 vote combined petition that

          will be delivered in Paris.

          Petition organisers meet with New Zealand Prime Minister Young people

          from, Australia and New Zealand have so tar participated in this petition.

          Manly NSW parents Sharon Collyer and Ivlartin Moroney who organised

          and funded this petition met with New Zealand Prime Minister James

          Bolger last Thursday to discuss the concerns of school children relative to

          the proposed French tests.

          "We are just a family with five school aged children living in a suburb of

          Sydney", say Sharon Collyer the co-organiser of the petition. People are

          surprised how this thing has taken off - it's a real example of power to the

          people".

          "Having this meeting with Prime Minister Bolger is important to the

          credibility of the petition when it is delivered in France to the French

          Government. It makes a statement that the New Zealand Government

          understands the school children's concerns and endorses their

          commitment to their future. We are hoping that Mr Keating will be

          meeting with us before we go with the petition to Mr Chirac in Paris".

          "When we go to Paris we are taking with us an exhibition of children's art

          relative to the issue. Children from all over Australia, New Zealand and

          the South Pacific islands are contributing. Rather than just stand on a

          street corner in Paris looking upset, we have something that the French

          media and public can look at and understand". Martin Moroney says that

          "The message to the French people from the art cuts through all of the

          scientific gobbledegook the French Government have used to fudge the

          issue".

          "This is art from the heart. Any French parent seeing this material will be

          challenged by the strength and depth of the messages. They will certainly

          be concerned about the impact that this action is having on France's image

          as a responsible community".

          The funding tor the presentation of the exhibition is coming from the

          adoption of individual pieces of art by Australian and New Zealand

          companies. Sponsors are being invited to adopt a piece to children's art

          which will be exhibited in Paris with the sponsor's name associated with it.

SHOULD THE BOYCOTT BE EXTENDED TO

INCLUDE CHINA?

China's recent nuclear test brings focus onto its Government. International

Freedom proposes that the boycott be extended to now include China with these

initial three demands:

  1. That China cease its illegal occupation of Tibet.

  2. That China cease its abuse of human rights.

  3. That China cease its program of nuclear testing.

For instance, we got a report from a colleague at the UN World Conference on

Women, that Tibetian women were kicked by Chinese soldiers during a silent

meditation protest.

Another protestor, in a wheelchair, was abused whilst attempting to enter the

demonstration. She was unable to get in and was subsuquently detained. We've

established a public (free) internet access site at the Victorian State Film Centre

in association with Pegasus Networks and WomenZnet. Melbourne Online to

     An exhibition on the web has opened to protest against the

nuclear test which is going to be conducted by France. There

are more than 100 posters, which are drawn by Japanese top

graphic designers.

Chaos Computer Club, Germany urge everyone to express

their concerns on this matter, from September 1st (World

Peace Day) every day at 11.55 hrs (five minutes before noon)

local Paris time, by using all available means to disrupt French

telecommunications. The appendix to this message contains a

list of ministries, companies and organisations that stand for

the policy of nuclear testing

 The peace march was a great success with a huge turn-out.

Nuclear Energy, Waste, and Weaponry

Because of immediate danger to the survival of all living things, Greenpeace opposes nuclear energy,

waste, and weaponry, aiming first for nuclear-free seas and ultimately for a nuclear-free world.

Greenpeace originated in a protest against US nuclear testing, and since 1971 has produced

authoritative information reports, protested port calls of ships carrying or suspected of carrying

nuclear arms, marked Soviet and US nuclear submarines with radiation signs to publicise their

danger, lobbied intensively in USA for a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, stopped tests in the

Nevada desert and protested French nuclear testing in the Pacific. To emphasize our constant

exposure to nuclear threat, Greenpeace points to accidents such as Chernobyl in 1986, Soviet

nuclear-powered submarine sinkings, the losing of nuclear bombs in the sea, and the daily

transportation of nuclear materials through our own home towns.

Letter to Jacques Chirac from NZ

http://netfx.co.nz/

An Open Letter to President Chirac from The Prime

     Minister and People of New Zealand

Dear President Chirac,

I am sending this message to inform you of New Zealands deep concern at the

decision announced last month to resume nuclear testing in the South Pacific. I

believe that this decision carries serious consequences for a number of issues of global

importance. A primary concern has been that it runs directly counter to the world-wide

trend away from the development and use of nuclear weapons and puts at risk all that has

been achieved in nuclear disarmament since the end of the Cold War.

It also, I believe, seriously complicates the negotiations already underway in Geneva to

achieve a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty - a goal to which New Zealand has long

attached great importance.

    In the South Pacific the sense of outrage is reinforced by a sense of acute

disappointment. We thought that with former President Mitterrands decision to halt

nuclear testing we had put behind us the issue of nuclear states testing their weapons in the

Pacific islands region.

     Small island nations dependent for their livelihood on the sea find the risk associated

with testing unacceptable. Aside from the possibility of accidents there are concerns about

the long-term consequences for the marine environment. Countries of the South Pacific are

unanimous in their opposition to nuclear testing in the region.

    I have accordingly today written to Heads of Government around the world to

underline our concerns on this important issue.

Rt. Hon J B Bolger Prime Minister

New Zealand

 We live in a country where people speak their minds. I invite you to add your own letter to President Chirac (mailto:rainbow@msnt.parliament.govt.nz)

                       and I will undertake to pass the messages on

.

Stop Nuclear Tests! Objective

http://www.iijnet.or.jp/nuke/objective/objective.html

Stop Nuclear Tests!

Motivation and Objective of this petition

(Thanks for everyone who has kindly corrected my English.)

We believe that there are many people who are feeling upset about the fact that the French

Government has decided to restart nuclear tests. However, those thoughts usually end up nowhere:

they are just stored inside the hearts of individuals.

We have started this petition because we wanted to gather all of those thoughts and make them into

a big movement. Since we thought we should prevent this movement from splitting into pieces from

small differences in emphasis, the main sentence of the petition is simply

Stop Nuclear Tests!

Of course that is not enough: if you have your own point of view, please express it to us and we will

put it at the front of our list.

The objective of this activity is, what else, to stop the nuclear tests planned by France. To achieve

this, as a group of general people, we will confront the President of France and the French

Government with the fact that there are this many individuals that are opposing their decision. To

obtain our goal, we are planning to advertize this activity to journalisms also.

We would like to have every people or group around the world participate in this activity. If you

agree with us, please try to help us by making as many people as you can know about this activity.

So, as long as you tell us, you are welcome to inform journalists about this activity also. However,

you may not use the list of names without permission.

This activity was first planned to protest against the nuclear tests of France, but we do think we

should express our feelings to other groups that plans to execute nuclear tests. And also, there might

be suggestions such as "shouldn't we boycott bying French goods?" (this will not be our official

intention). We have made the "Opinions" corner for those of you who want to express those

opnions.

We would love to see you participate in this activity. Let's REALLY stop the nuclear tests!

Chaos: Presseerklaerung

http://www.zerberus.de/texte/aktion/atom/presse.html

Chaos Computer Club e.V.

PRESSEERKLAERUNG -- Hamburg/Berlin, den 31.09.1995 (Rem: 31.08. more like it...)

        Sitzstreik auf der Datenautobahn -

 Kommunikationsoffensive gegen Atomtests

Der Chaos Computer Club verbreitet in Zusammenarbeit mit anderen internationalen Organisationen

aus Europa, Asien und Amerika in den grenzenlosen Datennetzen folgenden Aufruf:

"Liebe Mitbewohner dieses (grösstenteils harmlosen) Planeten !

Die französische Regierung plant, sich über die Interessen des grössten Teils der Bevölkerung

der Erde hinwegzusetzen. Weitere Atomtests sollen trotz weltweiter Proteste und unter

drastischer Gefährdung der Sicherheit und Gesundheit von vielen Menschen ab September im

Muroroa-Atoll stattfinden. Die Ideale der französischen Revolution von Freiheit, Gleichheit

und Brüderlichkeit werden von der Chirac-Regierung ad absurdum geführt.

Um der Regierung in Paris und den wesentlichen Konzernen den Ernst der Lage zu

verdeutlichen, rufen wir alle denkenden und fühlenden Wesen auf, ab dem 1.9.1995, dem

Weltfriedenstag, jeden Tag ab 5 vor 12 Pariser Ortszeit alle verfügbaren

Kommunikationsmittel zu nutzen, um den Protest auszudrücken, bis ihnen die Ohren klingeln,

die Faxgeräte rauchen, die Telefonsysteme kollabieren und die Internetleitungen glühen.

Im Anhang findet ihr Listen von Ministerien, Unternehmen und Organisationen, die für die

Politik der Atomtests stehen. Denkt auch an Möglichkeiten der intelligenten Techniknutzung

zur kostenfreien Kommunikation, um den Telefongesellschaften nicht zuviel Geld in den

Rachen zu werfen."

Die Durchführung eines Sitzstreikes auf der Datenautobahn ist ein neues Mittel des Protestes.

Die Abhängigkeit der modernen Industriegesellschaften von ihrer Kommunikationsinfrastruktur

ermöglicht eine effektive und direkte Einflussnahme der Menschen dieses Planeten auf

anachronistische Entscheidungen von Regierungen und Konzernen.

Auch ohne intensive Technikkenntnisse kann jeder Bürger durch das wählen französischer

Telefonnummern zum besagten Zeitpunkt helfen, den Protest zu vermitteln.

Bei Bedarf stellen wir die Listen der Telefon-, Fax- und Telexnummern, sowie der

Internet-Adressen (WWW) zur Verfügung. Desweiteren ist ein Bildschirmschoner für Windows

verfügbar, der - wenn der Computer sonst nichts zu tun hat - automatisch französische

Telefonnummern wählt.

Appeal to the French government, especially BY ORGANISATIONS

Stop nuclear tests!

                   *** Please spread this message and its URL! ***

  Add your name to the list of signatures. Click here for further initiatives against the nuclear test, in

   particular for personal signatures/support. Or take a look at the statement of AEGEE-Europe.

In the following you'll read an Appeal to the French Government to stop the announced NUCLEAR

TESTS in the Pacific, written by the Vice-President of the Association of Pacific Studies Aachen

(e.V.) - an NGO dealing scientifically with the Pacific Region.

As editors of the European Students Magazine 'OneEurope Magazine' we decided to print this

appeal in the upcoming issue (August). Especially as students forming the 'next generation' we'll

inherit the reponsibility for our planet from those shaping it now!

Therefore we'd like to invite you and your ORGANISATION to sign the appeal to stop

NUCLEAR tests, thus doing what the Western states will probably only express via 'silent

diplomatic channels': France is highly endangering the achievements of the moratorium on nuclear

tests reached in 1992 and therefore influencing disarmament and security issues on the sensitive

European continent. (Recent news: On July 9 the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE issued a

motion against the decision of the French government.)

Furthermore, already the protests of the neighbouring nations to the Mururoa atoll express great

concern for life and environment due to possible dissemination of radioactive material.

Hoping for your support,

best wishes

the editors of the OneEurope Magazine

                        STOP NUCLEAR TESTS NOW !

                        - Appeal to the French Government -

On June 13, 1995 President Jacques Chirac announced that France has decided to resume nuclear

bomb testing with 8 tests at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls in French Polynesia starting in

September.

In 1975 the Rarotonga Treaty, turning the Pacific Region into a nuclear-free zone, was signed by the

South Pacific States including New Zealand and Australia. France, the United States and the United

Kingdom have so far declined to sign the protocol of the treaty which bans the manufacture,

acquisition or receipt of nuclear explosives and prohibits testing, stationing of nuclear weapons and

exports of nuclear material without strict safeguards. Also in 1975 the New Zealand and Australian

Government took France to the World Court and at least succeeded in tests to be shifted from the

atmosphere to underground.

Only a couple of weeks ago at the Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review and Extension

Conference the nuclear states were asked to refrain from nuclear testing, leading to the projected

signing of a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996. France and China refused to agree

not to carry out tests at all until that date. So the final wording chosen was 'utmost restraint' in the

lead-up to the CTBT next year. Eight tests during the remaining nine months is not most people's

understanding of 'utmost restraint'. It might impede the realisation of the treaty.

Explanations

   1.The French government explained the tests are needed to test new weapons by computer

     simulation.

   2.President Chirac asserts that the tests at Moruroa had no ecological impact.

Ad 1) According to international experts the technology for this kind of computer simulation already

exists.

Ad 2) Independent checks carried out over more than a decade have already found defects to the

sub-strata of the atoll and radioactivity has been found outside the 12-miles maritime zone. It is

known that the population of French Polynesia is suffering from various diseases deriving from

former nuclear testing. It is feared that radioactivity effects maritime resources and, via the nutrition

chain, also human mankind.

Protests Building Up

To name but a few: Pacific Islands governments have issued their own individual statements

condemning the decision. All South Pacific countries who are UN members - with the exception of

Vanuatu - have sent letters to UN General Secretary Boutros-Ghali deploring the French

announcement to conduct further nuclear tests. Numerous non-governmental organisations in the

Pacific Region and throughout the world like the Pacific Council of Churches, World Council of

Churches, Greenpeace, the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War have set up a

series of protest actions. Also former French President Francois Mitterand expressed criticism.

Therefore we urge the French Government to reconsider its decision, to respect the requirements

necessary for the Agreement on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty 1996 and to not resume

nuclear testing.

Greenpeace: Press Release

http://www.greenpeace.org/~comms/rw/sep05b.html

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHIRAC'S NUCLEAR TEST AN INSULT TO THE

WORLD: GREENPEACE

Papeete, Tahiti, 5 September 1995--(GP) The over 20 kiloton underground nuclear test detonated

by the French Government at Moruroa Atoll at 11:39 am local time today is an outrageous act

which shows contempt for global political and public will, Greenpeace said today.

"This nuclear explosion is a slap in the face by Jacques Chirac to more than 150 governments and

millions of people seeking a nuclear-free future worldwide," said Greenpeace's Thomas Schultz from

Tahiti. "In post-cold war times, Chirac has succeeded only in prolonging the nuclear threat that hangs

over us all," Schultz said.

Five hours ago, a second Greenpeace activist in 24 hours was arrested on Moruroa Atoll in a

attempt to stave off the test. An estimated 20 peace flotilla vessels are currently near the test area

around Moruroa Atoll. The Greenpeace vessels Manutea and Vega are still in the area as part of the

flotilla.

Greenpeace is now calling for a worldwide increase in NON-VIOLENT protests against the French

Government's continued nuclear nightmare. Dozens of protests are expected to take place in the

next few days at French Embassies and Consulates around the world.

In Paris, Greenpeace France director Penelope Komites said: "This test was the first of a planned

eight. Worldwide protest has been unable to stop this one but Chirac is sadly mistaken if he thinks

the protests will die down."

If the French Government now declares its opposition to the spread of nuclear weapons, it must be

seen as a cynical attempt to hide the development and production of weapons of mass destruction,

Greenpeace said.

Greenpeace has called for the release of its vessels MV Greenpeace and Rainbow Warrior being

held by French military since September first.

                       What You Can Do

            There are a countless number of really good actions that you can take

            to stop the French from performing underground nuclear testing. We

               have tried to highlight some of the best tactics for you to take,

                in order for you to be the most effective in your opposition.

           All opinions expressed below are those of Josh Knauer, and do not

          necessarily reflect the views of the EnviroLink Network, nor any other

         organization that he is affiliated with. (although, come on, you and I both

                           know that they probably do)

With the fiftieth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima upon us, it is amazing to me that we are still

debating the pros and cons of maintaining a nuclear arsenal. The major superpowers of the world

are downsizing their stores of nuclear weapons, after realizing what an incredibly deadly folly they

had undertaken during the Cold War. Despite all of this, France, in a typically arrogant and

short-sighted manner, has decided that it needs to detonate nuclear weapons under the Moruroa

Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.

This action by the French government is a declaration of war on humanity. The earth, and the

populations that inhabit it (both human and non-human), have already been exposed to enough

radiation. It is time that we all stand up together and voice our opposition. It is not enough to just

sign a petition or write a letter! Both animals and people's lives are at stake here. I encourage

people around the world to perform acts of non-violent civil disobedience aimed at the French

government in order to send the message back to Paris: we will not take this any more. These acts

will also help to attract media attention to the issue. I will re-emphasize the need for them to be

non-violent and non-threatening in any way.

How many of us have relatives that have died from cancer? Could you live with yourself, knowing

that you did nothing while irresponsible governments exposed innocent children, plants and animals

to radiation? I can not and I will not. The time has come to get off of our couches, out of our offices

and into the streets! Organize in your local community against this tragedy. Visit your local French

Embassy, contact your government and demand that they vehemently oppose the French actions or

stage a rally at an appropriate location in your community (the options are endless). Support others

who are doing it as well. Please, just do something, the health and vitality of this planet depends on

it.

                Josh Knauer is the Executive Director of the EnviroLink Network.

Soy una chilena, y con emocion desde el alma y en mi idioma

natal , pido al mundo que todos nos protegamos de la violencia

con PAZ. Mientras persista en el espiritu de los pueblos el rencor,

y por sobre todo la vanidad que solo conduce a la agresion,

continuaremos justificando el progreso a costa de la destruccion

de los debiles.

Aca en mi pais expresaremos el dolor que nos acoje al ser victimas

de este atropello a nuestra posibilidad futura de una vida sana

y feliz, haciendo tocar a duelo las campanas de nuestras iglesias

y en el triste hulular de las sirenas de los bomberos elevaremos

al aire nuestro grito desesperado de PAZ !

I think that Nuclear testing - be it France, China or whomever - is totally unsupportable.

Here in Australia there is widespread outrage at the French

decision to restart their testing program. We, dear Frenchmen,

are the ones who will have to live with polluted waters if and

when sonething goes wrong.

It has been suggested that there is a genuine need for France to develop

nuclear weaponry for themselves 'in case the USA was busy elsewhere'

If ever we get to the point of having a nuclear war, forget anyone\

being busy anywhere: if anyone releases a small arsenal, we're all

dead anyway. There are enough warheads today, even after all this supposed

disarming, to kill all life on this planet 8 times over.

Can anyone realistically suggest then that France having a few bombs

is going to tip the balance one way or the other? Sorry, but

that's just so much all-too-convenient crap.

Another, hopefully more realistic one, is that in the event of

a nuclear war it would be regional rather than global. Even in this

scenerio, the USA and NATO would hardly sit by and let it happen.

The Poms made that mistake with Hitler and I very much doubt it will

ever happen again. (Not even Poms are that stupid! (Hi Dad!!))

So, essentially, thier whole justification for this destruction

and endangering of life is totally self-centred, egotistical (The

French? Egotisitical??!!? NEVER! - yeah, right :) ) and completely

without foundation in logic.

The French people, who, like people everywhere, will have more

brains than their Government, should stop the tests. They, and only

they have the voting power to stop it.

Here in Australia we threw out a Government that insisted on mining

and exporting Uranium of the type used in REACTORS - not even warhead

Uranium. That ban went into place in '83 and is stronger today than

ever before. We as a people sent a very clear message to the govern-

ment of the day, and all succeeding Governments.

If we can do it, so can the French!

(But I bet they won't....)

Anyway, goto go to a lecture...

Bgoode,

Blake Robertson, Deakin Uni, Melbourne, Australia.

PS. Saw a good t-shirt the other day ... it read :"Help save the

environment...shoot a Frenchman today!" :->

I am mexican. Even though we are quite far from France, we also

live in this Planet. I am against of Nuclear Testing, because

It has injured a lot of people and has caused serious environmen-

tal casualties. Mr. Chirac (Hirochirac), think about you are living

in the same planet!!!! Please, be more concern about these decisions!!!

Every "civilized" country who has atomic bombs, and even countries

like Iran, India and Israel who also build atomic bombs don't test

them. All the scientists know the effects of a nuclear explosion

and they also know that an atomic bomb really explodes when they

press the button.

But in France, everything seems to be different. Although they know

how their bombs work, they continue with their tests, and break

the international stop of nuclear testing. And they damage the lives

of the inhabitants and "Greenpeace" activists.

You should protest:

* don't buy anything made in France

* don't travel to France

* block french Internet resources by looking up all kinds of information

STOP NUCLEAR TESTING NOW!

DON'T BUY CONSUMER GODS FROM FRANCE AND CHINA UNTIL THEY STOP

THEIR TESTS.

DEMAND THAT YOUR GOVERNMENT STOPS ALL TRADE WITH FRANCE AND

CHINA.

Nuclearweaponry testing today by France could injure the whole

security for Europe and the World. By testing they jeapordise

the possibility to stop the spreading of nuclearweapons.

And thats a bigger security risk for Europe than having France

with somewhat less effective nuclearweapons in its arsenal.

All nuclear weapons should be put under the command of the UN.

To make this possible it would be necessary to reform the UN and

remove the veto right for some nations in the Securitycouncil.

An UN military chain of commands must be built up and the UN must

get some type of permanent military force. The UN of today is just

the framework for the future UN.

I am French and very concerned about ecology,

but I have to support the French decision to re-start its nuclear

program. We have to look at things in historical perspective.

President de Gaulle first started the nuclear program in the 60's

to grant France its full military independence. Before that,

France was dependent on Nato for its security. President Miterrand

took the decision in 1992 to stop the testing for political reaso

ns (he needed some green votes). If France hadn't decided to

restart its program, in a few years Europe would have been

dependent on Nato again for its security. Why? Because NO-ONE

except France has nuclear independent power in Europe; GB has

a double key control with Nato. Many people are shouting today,

but those same people might thank France later on if one day

the US let us down because it is too preoccupied with its own

problems. Then the EC will be happy that France is strong enough

to defend the whole European community.

Did some of you forget in what kind of a world we live in?

May I suggest to the people protesting in the US that they ask

their government to stop their nuclear program and become

dependent on traditional weapon for their protection.

Stop testing!

http://www.url.co.nz/testing.html

 Its time to stop French nuclear weapons testing!

     There is a difference between pride and stubborn stupidity. Yet the French

     Government insist on continuing to test nuclear weapons tens of thousands

     of miles away from their homeland in the middle of ours. This page

     contains links to internet sites where you can make your voice heard by

     way of petitions and direct e-mail to the French Government as well as

     research background information about the resumption of the French

     nuclear testing in the South Pacific and other anti nuclear testing matters.

     We have another page of general environmental organisations and groups

          Aucklanders, don't forget you can send e-mail from the Trade Aid shop in K'

          Road during business hours.
