To the Editor:
Re "Computer Worries Fuel Withdrawal of U.S. Diplomats" (front page, Nov.
8):

Although American experts say the chances are "virtually nil" that the Year
2000 problem will set off an accidental firing of a Russian nuclear missile
at a United States target, the exodus of American diplomats from Russia and
three other former Soviet republics is an indication that many of them think
otherwise.


Those of us who live in New York, a primary Russian target, should wonder
why, instead of monitoring each other, the United States and Russia don't
shut off their mutually assured destruction targeting mechanisms for the
first week of 2000 so that no accidental launching can possibly take place.
