Dear Jan Tomas and Jan Bednar:

I would like to convey my support  for your brave nonviolent resistance to the proposed U.S. radar installation in the Czech Republic and your insistence that a national discussion and referendum on the issue be held.

Above my desk is a black and white photo of Wenceslas Square in 1989, full of students and lit candles.  Next to it is a picture of my friends Wally and Juanita Nelson -- deeply committed pacifists and pioneer practitioners in non-violent resistance to injustice, aggression and war.  Your brave actions remain true to their legacy of non-violent resistance from below.  Be assured that activists in the Twin Cities are engaged in opposition to new US bases in Central and Eastern Europe.
Thank you both.
