Dear members and friends:

	As most of you recall, the Stanford chapter of SENSE (Scientists
for Enlightenment on Nuclear Sources of Energy) got started last
Spring in connection with a visit by Professor Hans Bethe.  The motive
for its formation was fear that the anti-nuclear movement would succeed.
We regard nuclear energy as cheap enough and safe enough for the
country to rely on it as a major source over the next decades.

	Over the summer SENSE was dormant, and now it is coming to life
again with our first public meeting scheduled for Wednesday, November 12
in room 270 Tresidder.
The purpose of the meeting is to announce ourselves to the Stanford
community and so that the organization can be properly formed.
At present Professors Tom Connolly and Felix Bloch are co-chairmen,
Russell Taylor is secretary, and John McCarthy is writing this letter.

	The program of the meeting will include three talks - one on
a technical issue namely radioactive waste disposal, one on America's
energy requirements, and one on the legal consequences of the California
initiative restricting nuclear energy.

America's Energy Requirements - Richard Redmun, Electric Power Research
Institute, Palo Alto

Disposal of Radioactive Waste - Professor Thomas Connolly, Stanford

Legal Consequences of the California Initiative - Terry Trumbull, attorney,
General Electric Company, San Jose.

	Besides the talks, we will sign up members and start a mailing
list.

	The following meeting
