Reforms in Nuclear Weapons Strategy – Ed O´Rourke

The New York Times is running a series showing how dangerous nuclear weapons are and recommending remedies. This is a good time to get attention.

Please see my letter to Congressman Al Green where I outlined what is wrong and how to fix things.

The letter to Congressman Green:

Recent articles in the New York Times call for a new look at US nuclear weapons strategy. See this one:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/03/07/opinion/nuclear-weapons-president.html

Please ask the Pentagon and the think tanks to assess the following reforms:

1) Keep 1,000 nuclear weapons. Decommission the rest.

2) Adopt a No First Strike strategy.

3) Limit the president’s ability to unilaterally start a nuclear war.

4) Declare a moratorium on all nuclear weapons research.

5) Start taking missiles off ‘’ hair trigger’’ alert.

I attached my thoughts that give details to the above proposals.

I will follow up with a call to your Washington office on Wednesday, March 15, 2024.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

Edward T. O’Rourke, Jr.
