Dear Dr_Ledefberg:

 

We are happy to report that on April 24, 1997 the Chemical Weapons
Convention was ratified by a vote of 74-26, after a great deal of debate and
discussion. We thank you for your assistance in the successful conclusion of the
ratification campaign. The FAS letter urging ratification from FAS Chairman
Carl Kaysen and supported by 45 Nobel Laureates was read during the Senate
floor debate, and entered into the record on April 23, 1997. We are sending along
a copy of the relevant pages of the Congressional Record in which the letter and
its supporters names appear (see Exhibit 2, beginning on the bottom of page S
3515).

Once again, we appreciate your participation in ratifying this important
Treaty.

Sincerely,

Jerenfy J. Stone
