Good value may be derived from a specific project. $1750 x 3. Tell each

speaker that is the total amount. They make their own arrangements for

the one day and two nights and thus determine their own "extra."

Fund $1750 each to an Idso, Lindzen and Stephenson to cover expenses and

and leftover for honorarium to be speakers at "Global Warming - Scientific

Perspectives" - a one day Symposium embedded in the 1999 National meet of

the American Nuclear Society in Long Beach CA on either November 16 or 17.

I attend as Executive committee board member of environmental Sciences

Division of ANS.

An abstract would be needed from each. I would be responsible. Robert Addis

of Savannah River Plant is Chairing the Symposium. We are firmly on the

calendar. This is not a "maybe." We have this unique window of opportunity

to place specific speakers. ANS funds no one. We (ESD board) met on this

topic in Washington upon my return from BA. I have implored ANS to have

such a panel for 7 years. You realize that the lifeline global warming

emissions seems to have thrown them is sacrosanct and to call emissions

beneficial is not a popular position.

Presenting this science before engineers and scientists and professionals,

even though they probably do not want to hear it, is a needed small step

toward cooler heads on this hot air issue. Write-ups and papers presented

will then be included in the "Nuclear News" mag following the meet and in

the division newsletter to members.

Registration fee will be waived for them (normal $500 each).

They could each get 30 min to talk and immediately 15 min to answer questions.

Lindzen would cover the assumptions, evaluations and uncertainties behind

modeling climate change.

Robert Stephenson - an oceanographer- would cover the role of the ocean in

global climate change.

Keith or Serwood Idso would cover the effects on agriculture of climate

change.

This would fund three of a total of eight speakers. I can influence the

committee enough to secure these three, probably not more.
