The Rosedale Neighbors Association has endorsed the Nuclear Weapons Freeze proposal and has voiced this endorsement in a letter to Senator John Danforth.
The issue was raised at the Pot Luck Dinner/ Business Meeting in Scariot Hall of St.’ Roch’s Church on Nov. 17, 1982. Reverend David Musgrave of St. Mark’s presented the proposal on behalf of the St. Louis Committee for a Nuclear Weapons Freeze and discussed reasons for the organization to endorse the Freeze.
The proposal reads as “follows: PROPOSAL FOR A MUTUAL UNITED STATES-SOVIET NUCLEAR WEAPONS FREEZE “To improve national and international security, the United States and the Soviet Union should stop the nuclear arms race. Specifically, the United States should propose to the Soviet Union a mutual freeze on the testing, production, and deployment of nuclear weapons and of missiles and new aircraft designed primarily to deliver nuclear weapons. “This is an essential and verifiable first step toward lessening the risk of nuclear war, reducing the arms race, and building a healthy, secure economy based on the priorities of creating jobs and meeting human needs.” The issue was also raised at the Jan. 11 meeting of the Washington Heights Neighbors Board of Directors where the issue was discussed but not voted on. Parkview Agents declined to discuss the matter at their Jan. 18 meeting. •
