But because we're in the middle of the search, I can't say more."1 Speaker Theme: Politics Three Michigan members of Women's Action for New Directions attended WAND training last week on public speaking. Fern Katz of Southfield, Barbara Stevenson of Detroit and Maria Mannerino-Thompson of Lathrup Village are now prepared to speak about the military budget, homeland security or the proliferation of nuclear weapons, with an emphasis on how the federal discretionary budget is apportioned. On Dec. 7, Katz and Mannerino- Thompson lobbied in the offices of Rep. Sander Levin, D-Royal Oak, and Senators Carl Levin, D-Mich., and Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., about three issues: • The $21 billion added to the defense budget this fall. WAND wants the dollars used for homeland security; in Michigan, they should be used to strengthen the ability of first respon- ders, fire and police departments and hospitals, and to inspect materials imported from Canada in containers and in garbage trucks. • The SMART (Sensible Multi- Lateral Response to Terrorism) Resolution was introduced in the House. WAND wants Rep. Levin to join the 50 co-sponsors and asked the senators to introduce a similar resolu- tion in the Senate. • WAND supports elimination of funding for the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (bunker buster). WAND opposes research and development of new nuclear weapons.
