The Rev. Dr. Clifton Kirkpatrick, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly, has sent the following letter to members of the U.S. Senate.
Advocates are welcome to use or adapt the text in their own communications with Senators.
I am alarmed, as you surely must be, by the prospect of a regional nuclear war in South Asia. The concern, however, goes even beyond that. The policies we adopt, or fail to adopt, will greatly determine quality of life in God's creation and the viability of human society as we know it. Now more than ever it is critical for the Senate to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty. President Clinton put the treaty before the Senate last fall.
