Conversation with
Professor Joseph Rotblat Joseph Rotblat was Professor of Physics at the University of London at St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College and the hospital's Chief Physicist from 1950 to 1976. In 1955 Professor Rotblat was one of the eleven signatories of the Russell-Einstein Manifesto, which invited scientists from around the world to ward off the danger of nuclear weapons being used again. He founded the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs in 1957 and served as its secretary-general and later as its president for forty years. In 1995 Dr. Rotblat and Pugwash received the Nobel Prize for Peace. He is the author of over 300 publications.
Professor Joseph Rotblat Professor Rotblat visited the Boston area this past October to deliver a keynote address at the New England Organizing Conference for Nuclear Weapons Abolition (see below). On a break from the conference, he kindly consented to visit the Center for an interview. What follows are excerpts of his remarks on the motivation for his lifelong devotion to nuclear abolition, the mission of Pugwash, and the social responsibility of scientists.

Nobel peace prize for Pugwash
The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it awarded the $1 million Nobel peace prize to Joseph Rotblat and the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs this year, 50 years after nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to encourage the world to now rid itself of the nuclear threat. Joseph Rotblat is the founder of Pugwash. He is a scientist who resigned from the Manhattan Project (to develop nuclear weapons during World War II) and then dedicated his life to campaigning against the nuclear weapons it developed. (442.4377) WISE-Amsterdam - The awarding of the Nobel to Rotblat and Pugwash was unexpected, with the Nobel Committee passing over better-known nominees including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and the politicians who were crucial in bringing about a ceasefire in Northern Ireland. "It is the committee's hope that the award of the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995 to Rotblat and to Pugwash will encourage world leaders to intensify their efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons," the Nobel Committee said in its citation. The panel hoped the award would also send a clear message of protest to the French and Chinese governments over their recent nuclear tests. Rotblat, a Polish-born British citizen, was the only scientist to resign from the Manhattan Project. Since leaving the project in 1944, he has campaigned for nuclear disarmament, and until recently also worked at London's St. Bartholomew's Hospital, specializing in nuclear medicine.

NEWS RELEASE from the United States Department of Defense
National Guard and Reserve Mobilized as of June 1, 2005
This week, the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps announced a decrease in the number of reservists on active duty in support of the partial mobilization, while the Coast Guard number increased. The net collective result is 550 fewer reservists mobilized than last week.
At any given time, services may mobilize some units and individuals while demobilizing others, making it possible for these figures to either increase or decrease. Total number currently on active duty in support of the partial mobilization for the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 144.301; Naval Reserve, 3,415; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 9,468; Marine Corps Reserve, 10,648; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 593. This brings the total National Guard and Reserve personnel, who have been mobilized, to 168,425, including both units and individual augmentees.

August 6, 2005 marks the 60th anniversary. Those two mushroom clouds and the horrific devastation marked the end of the most destructive war in the history of modern warfare. The world is fortunate to have survived the half-century since 1945 without a nuclear war. In these sixty years, the number of nations declaring themselves as possessors of nuclear weaponry has increased from one to seven; and the total number of nuclear weapons on the planet grew to a peak of 70,000 before beginning a gradual decline. Fortunately some people took the first initiative to eradicate such evil from the face of this planet. They started a movement that they proudly called the Pugwash Movement. The Pugwash Conferences take their name from the location of the first meeting, which was held in 1957 in the village of Pugwash, Nova Scotia, Canada. The stimulus for that gathering was a manifesto issued in 1955 by Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein, which called upon scientists of all political persuasions to assemble and discuss the threat posed to civilization by the advent of thermonuclear weapons.

October 18, 1995 The late Bernard Feld and the late Jerome B. Wiesner are the most prominent of a number of MIT professors who were involved in the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, which won the Nobel Peace Prize last week. Other MIT professors and researchers involved in Pugwash included Jack Ruina, the late David Frisch, Kosta Tsipis, George W. Rathjens, Victor Weisskopf, Herman Feshbach and Carl Kaysen. Dr. Feld, professor emeritus of physics until his death in 1992, began attending in 1958 and from 1974 to 1978 served as secretary general (the chief executive position) of the Pugwash Conferences. Dr. Feld succeeded Professor Joseph Rotblat, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last Friday and served more than 16 years as secretary general. From 1963 until 1973 Dr. Feld headed the American involvement in Pugwash in his position with the Cambridge-based American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as chairman of the Committee on Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs. Dr. Wiesner, scientific advisor to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson from 1961 to 1964 and later president of MIT, also was deeply involved in Pugwash beginning in 1958. At the Pugwash conference in Moscow in 1960, Dr. Wiesner presented a proposal for limited deterrent force as a basis for a comprehensive disarmament system.

THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR 1995
Joseph Rotblat and the
Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995, in two equal parts, to Joseph Rotblat and to the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs , for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms. It is fifty years this year since the two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and forty years since the issuing of the Russell-Einstein Manifesto. The Manifesto laid the foundations for the Pugwash Conferences, which have maintained a high level of activity to this day. Joseph Rotblat was one of the eleven scientists behind the Manifesto, and has since been the most important figure in the Pugwash work. The Conferences are based on the recognition of the responsibility of scientists for their inventions. They have underlined the catastrophic consequences of the use of the new weapons. They have brought together scientists and decision- makers to collaborate across political divides on constructive proposals for reducing the nuclear threat. The Pugwash Conferences are founded in the desire to see all nuclear arms destroyed and, ultimately, in a vision of other solutions to international disputes than war. The Pugwash Conference in Hiroshima in July this year declared that we have the opportunity today of approaching those goals. It is the Committee's hope that the award of the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995 to Rotblat and to Pugwash will encourage world leaders to intensify their efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

Special Statement
'The Impasse in Nuclear Disarmament,' A Special Statement by the Council of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, unanimously adopted at the 48th Meeting of the Council, Queretaro, Mexico, 4 October 1998 "Nuclear disarmament is at an impasse. START II remains unratified by the Russian Duma. US-Russian efforts to improve and expedite the management and disposition of fissile material stocks have slowed down. Both NATO and Russia keep the option open of being the first to use nuclear weapons. In the Middle East, no progress is being made towards the establishment of a zone free of weapons of mass destruction. The dispute over North Korea's nuclear programme has not yet been solved. The second preparatory meeting for the upcoming [NPT] Review Conference...was a failure. Conscious of this impasse, we view the testing of nuclear weapons in India and Pakistan with alarm and frustration: alarm because of the potential risks of proliferation and nuclear war; frustration because of the continued refusal of the nuclear-weapon States to move unambiguously towards the elimination of nuclear weapons. What should have been a wake-up call to impress on all Governments that a radical change in approach to international security and nuclear weapon issues is needed, passed without any such reconsideration. As much as we deplore the testing in South Asia, so far we find the reactions of the other nuclear powers to be grossly inadequate. Thirty years after the NPT was opened for signature, they have not implemented the disarmament clause of the NPT, and have shown no renewed willingness to do so.

SPUSA Chapter Program
SPUSA campus-based chapters enable students to convene regularly to discuss science, ethics, and world affairs. Today, students on campuses across the country are participating in hundreds of local, regional, and national events. Chapter activities range from tours of infectious disease research laboratories, roundtable discussions on gene therapy, lectures on the role of nuclear weapons in the post-Cold War era, and conferences on the future of communication technologies.
Leadership skills emerge as primary for chapter members because SPUSA activities force students to take control of their own education and shape it in nontraditional ways. An active leader in the chapter program will come away with organizing and public speaking skills, knowledge of successful event planning, and a new capacity in which to view scientific issues.

Pugwash and Russell's Legacy
by John R. Lenz
This article appears in The Bertrand Russell Society Quarterly , no. 89 (Feb. 1996), pp. 18-24. This WWW edition, created in July 1996, contains some small additions and three longer addenda (marked by "P.S."). See also the (old-fashioned) bibliography at the end for References and Further Reading. In October, 1995, the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995 was awarded to Dr. Joseph Rotblat and (jointly) Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs "for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms." Rotblat was an associate of Bertrand Russell's, who is regarded as a founding-father of the Pugwash movement which began in 1957. What exactly was Russell's role in Pugwash? News reports (the few I saw) made no mention of Russell (who died in 1970) in describing Pugwash. Yet the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Pugwash constitutes, in some sense, an important recognition of his legacy, and of a cause he championed throughout the last twenty-five years of his life (beginning in 1945 and most intensively from 1949 to 1962). Therefore, I wish to sketch some history of Pugwash and especially of Russell's role in it. The Pugwash Conferences (I will explain the name) began in 1957 with the goal of bringing together scientists from both sides of the Iron Curtain to work for peace and mutual understanding. The immediate motivation was the call to world scientists embodied in the Russell-Einstein Manifesto of 1955.
