Dear FAS Supporter,
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends.

Today marks the start of the holiday giving season. Over the next few weeks, FAS headquarters will be sending out several requests for donations to support our critical work. If you have already donated this year, you may still find reading these e-mails useful to learn more about the exciting work you support.

I invite you to join me in giving thanks to the founders of FAS. This month, in 1945, many of the first “atomic” scientists formed the Federation of Atomic Scientists. They knew that they had a “special social responsibility” to educate policymakers and the public about the consequences of their creation, the atomic bomb.

In the fall of 1945, Dr. Philip Morrison, then a 30-year old atomic scientist and an FAS founder, had recently returned from Hiroshima. He had witnessed scenes “matchless in human misery” and vowed that nuclear weapons “could not be allowed” again in war.

Today, to uphold Dr. Morrison’s vision, world-class researchers Hans Kristensen, Director of the Nuclear Information Project, and Robert S. Norris, Senior Fellow for Nuclear Policy, are hard at work at FAS tracking and analyzing nuclear weapons and governments’ nuclear policies. Your support will ensure that this project continues to shine a spotlight on nuclear weapons as a necessary step to eventually eliminate them.

Members like you have contributed innovative ideas as well as generous financial support. For example, Dr. Edward Friedman, Emeritus Professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology and an FAS member since the early 1960s, wrote an in-depth article on prevention of nuclear terrorism for the most recent FAS Public Interest Report. With your contributions, FAS will continue to promote innovative ideas such as Dr. Friedman’s.

Please join with your friends and colleagues to take this step towards a world of reduced nuclear dangers by supporting your organization, FAS, with a donation today.


With gratitude,


Charles D. Ferguson, Ph.D.
President
Federation of American Scientists
