Dear Friends,
I received the letter (copied below) from Lanny Sinkin of the
Cetacean Ambassador Network, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and am passing it on as
some of you may be interested to make your own views known to the US Navy on
this subject.
Please remember that you should fax your letter to Mr Johnson by 28
October but those of you living in the US can still write the Navy Secretary and
your Congress-person and Senator after that date.
Love & Blessings,
Rory.

Dear Rory,
I have been pursuing the matter of SURTASS LFA since March 1998, when I filed two law suits to stop the Navy from continuing their tests of this system off Hawaii. Below is a response I just sent to someone asking what can be done, which I thought would be of use to you. If you wish to see some of the evidence developed in the law suits in Hawai`i, you can visit http://manyrooms.com/deisdocs.htm What is the most effective was to use our energy to stop the Navy given the Oct. 28th timeline? Keep in mind that Oct. 28th is simply the deadline for filing comments on the draft environmental impact statement for SURTASS LFA. The Navy will then review all the comments and issue a final EIS some months from now. That EIS will be subject to legal challenge (unless the Navy concludes that the LFA should not be deployed because all these fine people have shown them the path into the light). That legal challenge will proceed from a district court to an appellate court and perhaps to the Supreme Court. So for the moment, the most effective actions would be:
(1) Send a regular mail letter to your Senators and Representative telling them that you consider the SURTASS LFA system a threat to marine life and humans in the ocean, that you are concerned that the Navy is ignoring the evidence of adverse effects found in the tests off Hawai`i, that you are concerned that the Navy may be forcing deployment only because they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this system before complying with the law requiring an environmental impact statement, and any other concerns that you might have. Ask that the Congress hold hearings to inquire into these questions. A mailed letter does receive more attention than an email. (2) Send a letter to Joe Johnson, program manager for the EIS, before October 28th expressing your opposition to deployment as a threat to marine life and humans, your concern that the EIS is not being prepared in an objective manner because of the huge investment the Navy has already sunk into the system, and any other concerns you might have. Mr. J.S. Johnson Attn: SURTASS LFA Sonar OEIS/EIS Program Manager 901 North Stuart Street, Suite 708 Arlington, Virginia 22203 Fax: (703) 465-8420 Send a copy of your letter or prepare a separate letter to: The Honorable Richard Danzig Secretary of the Navy 1000 Navy Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20350-1000 FAX: (703) 614-3477 (3) Educate yourself so that you can speak in an informed fashion to your friends and colleagues about this system. Critical evaluations of the SURTASS LFA appear at: www.nrdc.org www.oceanmammalinst.com www.angelfire.com/ca/fishattorney/lfaslinks.html www.manyrooms.com/newsroom.html (4) Join the effort to have newspapers publish the opinion editorlal found at http://manyrooms.com/opinion.html. (5) Send a contribution to the organizations that will probably lead the way in challenging the EIS in court (again unless the Navy embraces the light). The Ocean Mammal Institute and the Natural Resources Defense Council seem committed to pursuing the EIS into the courts. Their URL's are the first two in the previous item. (6) Send lots of love to those who have volunteered to play the role of manifesting the dark, so that others can learn to see the light. Aloha, Lanny Sinkin |
