Ban Bus Hits Pittsburgh

November 17, 1997 By: Mette Category: Ban bus USA

(Pittsburgh, PA, November 17 1997) The Ban Bus reached Pittsburgh in the morning and quickly set up for a 12 noon presentation at the University Medical Center at Scaife Hall which was followed by a presentation at Childrens Hospital. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Tribune Review turned in stories regarding the global landmine problem and the administration’s failure to sign the Ottawa
Treaty and an editorial titled: “Mines over Matter - A Nobel Peace Prize Shames U.S. Opposition to a Treaty” ran that day in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The Ban Bus thanked Pennsylvannia Senator Arlen Specter for his support of the Landmine Elimination Act and also thanked Representatives Phil English, William J. Coyne, Jon D. Fox, Paul E. Kanjorski, John E. Peterson, Robert A. Borski, and Chaka Fatta for their support. The ban bus asked Senator Rick
Santorum and Representatives Frank Mascara, William F. Goodling, Michael F. Doyle, George W. Gekas, Joseph R. Pitts, Paul McHale, John P. Murtha, Joseph M. McDade, Bud Shuster, James C. Greenwood, Curt Weldon, Tim Holden, Ron Klink, and Thomas M. Foglietta for their support.

Special thanks to the ban bus to Physicians for Social Responsibility-Pittsburgh and to Dr. Richard Michaels, Dr. Newlon Tauxe, Dr. Daniel Fine, Anita Fine, Nora Johnson, World Federalist Association - Rosanne Ripe, Thomas Merton Center-Molly Rush, Pennsylvania Peace Links -Ann Kuher, Margaret Tauxe, UNA- Dr. Single East Liberty Presbyterian Church- Sue Bailey Presbyterian Women- Peggy Hall, University of Pittsburgh International Studies Program- Vince Costa, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, and Miki Fukuhara.
