CIFS to petition China

At the March and May meetings the Society's Committee on the International Freedom of Scientists (CIFS) will be co-sponsoring a petition signing station with the New York-based Committee of Concerned Scientists. The petition will be on behalf of imprisoned physicists and scientists in the People's Republic of China and will be sent to China's President Jiang Zemin and Premier Li Peng. A reception to kick off the signature drive will be held at 6 o'clock on the evening of Sunday March 17, 1996. All March meeting participants are invited to attend. CIFS encourages those attending the March or May meeting to look for and sign the petition. It will be accessible in the registration area. Your support is greatly appreciated!
