Yesterday Doctors Without Borders faxed me their new report, headed
EMERGENCY IN THE THE HORN OF AFRICA--THE COUNTDOWN TO DEATH BEGINS.

They call the emergency unprecedented and their second paragraph reads:

Our worst fears have com true:  the Somalian people is dying.  Since 1991
all aid organizations involved in Somalia have been asking for more
help to avoid the tragedy.  Now the countdown to death has started.

/end of quote/

A friend told me she heard on the radio recently a report from a feeding
center, describing how the children were given their cup of broth, but
were so weak from hunger, it just came right out the other end. They
were too weak to make it to the latrines.

Memo

TO: PSR Affiliates FR: Tracy (for Daryl) RE: Nuc. Testing info for
chapters through calls and Peacenet DT: 17 August 1992

Efforts in the next two weeks must be focused on preserving and
strengthening the recent testing victory in the upcoming Senate
Fiscal Year 1993 Defense Authorization debate and in the
House-Senate conference on energy and water appropriations.

The impending conference on energy and water appropriations bills
will be critical, as conferees work to reconcile the differences
between the Senate legislation and the House-backed twelve-month
moratorium.  Likewise in the Senate Defense Authorization votes
expected in September, Senator Nunn (D-GA) and others will work to
weaken the Senate energy appropriations amendment.

What you can do:

(1) Thank your Senators for voting for the Hatfield-Mitchell-Exon
amendment, or question them as to why they did not support the
amendment.  We had some extraordinary swing votes, which are
detailed in the enclosed voting record.  Ask that your Senators
support a similar amendment if/when offered to the Defense
Authorization Bill.

(2) Urge House and Senate Conferees (See attached list) to
preserve the testing moratorium and other restrictions passed in
the House and Senate.

(3) Make meetings with key appropriations conferees during the
recess in their district.  We are focusing on FAZIO (D-CA-4) and
PURSELL (R-MI-2).  This action is VITAL.

Again, congratulations.  If you have any questions, contact any of
the program or policy staff here in the national office.

My hometown paper headlines:

PENTAGON TO AIRLIFT FOOD TO SOMALIA

U.S. fears 'mass death by starvation'

Compiled from News Services.

   WASHINGTON.  Moving to alleviate "mass death by starvation" in Somalia,
President Bush on Friday ordered the Pentagon to begin emergency airlifts of
food as soon as possible.
     However, a State Department official said the airlift will be able
to deliver *only a small portion of the food that is needed* [emphasis
added by dmorse].
     In addition, the United States intends to seek approval for a U.N.
Security Council resolution "that would authorize the use of additional
measures to ensure that humanitarian relief can be delivered," White House
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said.
     Starvation brought on by drought and civil war in the East African
nation has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of Somalians, and aid
workers say that the toll could increase by 1.5 million people within
weeks.  Somalia's population is estimated at between 4.5 million to 6
million.
     "Because armed bands are stealing and hoarding food, as well as attacking
international relief workers, the primary challenge that the international
community faces is the delivery of relief supplies," Fitzwater said.
   U.S. military aircraft will begin the airlift to locations inside
Somalia "where there is sufficient security to support these relief
operations" as well as to refugee camps inside neighboring Kenya, the
statement said.
     A White House official said the airlift is expected to begin within days
to four or five areas in southern and central Somalia where the need is most
desperate.  Until now, most U.S. food aid has been sent to the capital,
Mogadishu, with little of the food reaching the rest of the country.
     Pentagon officials said that a team of military specialists, probably
from special operations units, would be dispatched immediately to Somalia
to survey the security and the physical adequacy of four airfields in the
country's hinterlands.  It was not known how many Americans would be
involved....
     The airlift is expected to carry at least 145,000 tons of food to
four airports, mostly in southern and central regions,in an effort to
bypass the warring bands in the vicinity of the nation's capital,
Mogadishy.

    Officials were unable to say *how many flights would be involved* [emphasis
added by dmorse[] or how many military crews would take part...
     ...A more extensive supply of food from ships is under consideration
within the administration and would involve overland convoys from seaports
or Kenya.

The Mexican government is trying to imposse a fraudulent Governor and Congress
against the law and the people's will in the state of Michoacan in Mexico.
        On August 13TH, in a clandestine meeting, sorrounded by the army, in
the basement of unoficial building, without precious and without the presence
of the PRD representatives, an totally illegal "Electoral College" called
by the party-state PRI, gave the victory of the elections to the Salinas
candidate.
        In what constitutes a total violation of the National and state
constitutions, the PRI-state decided to ommite the legal complains presented by
the Democratic Revolution Party PRD, and in few minutes decided that the next
governor of Michoacan is the PRI-state candidate.
        This happens just a week after the PRI rejected its own proposition
of make a public comparision of the all of the certificates of the elections
The PRD had accept the proposition adding the necessity of free access to the
national and international press.
        The people of Michoacan have sourrended the City hall asking for
respect of their votes and the constitution, and yesterday sunday August 16th
more than 25,000 people participated in a rally in that same place suporting
the struggle for democracy.
        Even though independent national and international (mostly americans)
electoral observers groups denounced an enourmous array of irregularities and
violations of the law by the PRI-STATE and the enormous amount of legal
 evidence of electoral fraud provided by the PRD, the Mexican PRI-STATE
decided to continue its ilegal behavior.
        The PRD and a lot of other mexican democrats have decided to continue
a civic and peaceful movement of resistance to dictatorship and have called
for a national demostration next Saturday August 29th in the "Zocalo" of
Mexico City calling for DEMOCRACIA YA! DEMOCRACY NOW!

/* ---------- "Keep up pressure for Somalia" ---------- */
To all of those interested in acting for Somalia:

This is not the first time that aid shipments have been announced as
imminent.  In late July, Boutros Ghali got a UN order to start airlifts,
but as of August 5, only *one* had been made, and that coincided with
the visit of a French minister of health and humanitarian affairs to
Somalia (he expressed shock and horror at the mass deaths by starvation).

My fear is that these Pentagon shipments could turn into "token gestures"
if the public assumes that "the situation is now taken care of" and
turns away its attention.

This response by the Bush Administration is surely a result of international
outcries and pressure--and some of this was certainly generated by the
sterling humanitarians of peacenet and our sister networks.

We must keep up this pressure, to ensure that deliveries expand to the
amounts truly needed and *continue* until the population is out of danger.

Many people have worked on this cause, and are probably quite fatigued.
But new people are becoming involved.  I hope the old people will take a
break and then send *one more fax* or make *one more phone call*.  I hope
the new people will "take up the torch" and start faxing and phoning like
mad.  As the International Red Cross said in July, "millions of lives
depend on our capacity to care."

(P.S. "old people"  --it's all right if you send a lot more faxes than one,
of course.)

Thanks so much.
Dorothy

CONDITIONS OF INCARCERATION.
By Jan Sussler.

[Excerpt]

Our prisoners are subjected to psychological and physical torture.
If they didn't resist, they would die. If we don't resist United
States military and corporate plans for our nation, we will die.
Resistance is our means of survival.
---Alejandrina Torres

Eighteen Puerto Ricans patriots imprisoned in the U.S. in 1992
face conditions on a daily basis that are calculated to deny them
their political identity, in an attempt to break their spirit. The
treatment of these prisoners is designed to force cooperation with
the government in its efforts to destroy the Puerto Rican
Independence movement, and to set an example for others who would
dare to follow to their footsteps.  These eighteen:  Alejandrina
Torres, Oscar Lopez Rivera, Ida Luz Rodriguez, Adolfo Matos,
Dylcia Pagan, Luis Rosa, Carmen Valetin, Elizam Escobar, Alicia
Rodriguez, Carlos Alberto Torres, Hayddee Beltran Torres, Ricardo
Jimenez, Edwin Cortes, Alberto Rodriguez, Juan Segarra Palmer,
Antonio Camacho Negron, Roberto Jose Maldonado, and Roman Ramirez
Talavera, wake up each day, and most of them have waken up every
day for the past eleven years, to face a battle to maintain their
identity, their dignity, their physical and psychological
well-being. The conditions they face violate international norms,
such as the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the
Treatment of Prisoners (UNSMRTP) and domestic prison law as well.

The U.S. government denies that it has political prisoners. The
myth of democracy requires this denial. Yet the denial is
contradicted by prison conditions which target the political
prisoners for special punitive treatment. Such treatment clearly
violates international standards which explicitly preclude
discrimination by prison officials on the grounds of political
beliefs or opinions.

From ADC Times, Vol. 13, No. 4, p2, June 1992:

Report Documents Activities of Israeli "Death Squads".

On March 22, 1992, four undercover soldiers wearing black jackets and
jeans walked across a munic9ipal soccer field in Tulkarm (occupied
West Bank) while a soccer game was in progress.  The four men
stopped 10 meters from Jamal Ghanem, wo according to eyewitnesses saw the
men, raised his arms in surrender, and hid behind a referee,
and without warning the undercover soldiers shot him.  Ten military
jeeps arrived minutes later and took Jamal's body away."

    This was one of 24 cases of summary executions by the Israeli
military of Palestinian civilians from January-April 1992, reported
Louise Cainkar, Executive Director of the Palestine Human Rights
Information Center, who added that the rate of such executions
has already doubled since 1991.

   A recent CNN International Hour expose on Israeli undercover units
was shown at a press conference at the National Press Club, and
Cainkar outlined the history of Israeli undercover units, called
Mista'rivim [literally, "Arab-pretenders"] in Hebrew, which
date back to 1942 when teh Palmach used them to infiltrate Arab
towns and countries.

Aipac is in a bit of trouble because of its enemies list, to the
point where the Israeli government is supposedly disassociating
themselves from recent Aipac activities.  Aipac has been getting
a lot of negative publicity -- with an article by Robert I. Friedman
from the Village Voice apparently reprinted in Ha'aretz and the story
picked up by Davar and numerous US Jewish newspapers, including the
Forward -- for their vendetta against Andrew Silow Carroll, formerly
editor of the Washington Jewish Week (WJW).

	Silow Carroll spoke at a program I helped organize here in
Washington in the spring of 1991.  The event was a "Mother Earth
Sunday" -- a picnic with a variety of workshops on Jewish cultural
and community issues -- whose principle organizer belongs to Shomrei
Adamah (Hebrew for "Guardians of the Earth"), the Jewish
environmental group.  A former Aipac intern attended his talk on
major Jewish organizations and the media; the intern's notes led to
a memo circulated to members of the WJW's board and others.  Silow
Carroll was fired this last spring, although the WJW's publisher
states that he was fired because he didn't increase the paper's
circulation.

	The Washington Post will supposedly publish a story on this
controversy within the next few days.

	I'd be interested in hearing about other places this story
surfaces.  Send me e-mail, post to the nets, or send clippings to me
at the address below.

Actually, it *is* a good idea to call the department first.  I got a thesis

cost from UMI, and the printing is better too.  Just call directory
