said.
There are two reasons why
the Reagan administration
believes a comprehensive test
ban is not in the best interest of
the United States, said Steve
Johnson, a scientist and military
analyst who spoke at the rally.
The public reason is the inabili
ty of the United States to verify
that the policy is being upheld
by the Soviet Union, and the
lesser-known reason is that the
United States wants to continue

its present testing of new
nuclear-related weapons and
equipment, he said.
In 1985, the Norwegian
government built a highly ac
curate array of seismic stations
around the perimeter of Norway
and the Soviet Union to detect
very small nuclear explosions,
he said.
In addition, both the Soviet
Union and the United States
have agreed, in principle, prior
to the Reagan administration to
build permanent seismic sta
tions very close to nuclear test
sites and to allow on-site
verification for any suspicious
event, Johnson said.
The United States wants to
develop equipment that will
operate in a nuclear environ
ment, and it needs the addi
tional nuclear tests to perfect
the equipment as well as to pro
duce additional offensive
weapons, he said.
There are three things
necessary to stop the arms race:
a comprehensive test ban, a
non-proliferation treaty and an
international regime that can
monitor nuclear power,
Johnson said.
“The Soviets have made
public statement after public
statement in favor of a test ban. I
say let’s find out.” Johnson
said.
I he issue ot promoting peace
is taken differently in high
school — “some people are
really proud of you for what you
are doing; other people wish
you would shut up once and a
while,” said Anna Grace, a
15-year-old freshman from
South Eugene High School who
missed a class to attend the ral
ly. Grace is also a member of the
South Eugene Peace Club.
“1 think everyone wants to
speak up, but some times it is a
little hard,” she said. “1 think
peace is possible, and I think
that is something we can do.”
The Eugene Chapter of
American Peace Test, a group
dedicated to non-violent direct
action to the struggle against
the nuclear arms race, spon
sored the noon rally. The group
plans to protest at the Nevada
lest Site on Feb. 5, the day of
the first scheduled nuclear test
of 1987.
Organizations who endorsed
the rally include APT, Families
for Survival, the Lane County
Cray Panthers, Women’s Action
for Nuclear Disarmament,
Clergy and l^aity Concerned,
Citizen Action for Lasting
Security and the Student Cam
paign for Disarmament.
