Dear Friends,

Today, October 30, bills S6964A and A9116B - The NY National Guard
Military Toxins Testing/Task Force Bills were sent by the leaders of the
Senate to George Pataki for either signing or vetoing within 10 days.

My Senate advisors suggest that the Governor gets bills when his office asks
for them. This might suggest the election day timing may be very

calculated.At any rate, we want a signature from Governor Pataki -

NOT a veto. Please take a minute and write an e-mail or letter to

the Governor if you have not yet.

Please call his office with support for the bill if you have already

written. The web site for information on contacting the Governor is:

Thank you for all the work you have done to getthe bill this far!!

Its implementation will provide more opportunity for raising

awareness of these dangers---more journeys on the path toward stopping

the use of radioactive and toxic substances in U.S. weapons for the health

of our soldiers and all living things.
