I've been asked to post the list of regional co-ordinators for the Emergency
Response Network, especially in the light of the saber-rattling emanating from
the White House in response to the alleged arrival of Soviet aircraft in
Nicaragua.  Here, then, is the list from the August 1984 "Sojourners"
article.  (I hope you can figure out my verbalization of their map.)

  West Coast (including the Rockies): Mary Kurt-Mason, 515 Broadway, Santa
    Cruz, CA 95060, tel. (408)-425-3733.

  Southwest (NM, TX, OK, AR, LA): Buddy Summers or Lynn Holmes, 4220 S.P.I.D.
    #212, Corpus Christi, TX 78411, tel. (512)-852-8755.

  Northern Midwest (ND, SD, NB, KA, WI, MN, MI): Betty Wolcott, 3221 S. Lake
    Dr., Milwaukee, WI 53207, tel. (414)-744-1160.

  Midwest (Iowa and Missouri through Ohio): Grace Gyori, 3913 N. St. Louis,
    Chicago, IL 60618, tel. (312)-267-7881.

  Southeast (Kentucky and North Carolina south to Mississippi and Florida):
    Betsy Crites or Josefina Tiryakian, 1414 Woodland Dr., Durham, NC 27701,
    tel. (919)-688-5400.

  Mid Atlantic (New York south to the Virginias): John Collins or Bill
    Webber, 198 Broadway, New York, NY 10038, tel. (212)-964-6730.

  New England: Bob Bothius or Fran Truitt, RD 2, Box 422A, Ellsworth, ME
    04605, tel. (207)-422-9007.

Note:  I have had trouble making contact with the Southwest representative.
Luckily the Austin Emergency Response Network is already well-established and
starting to make itself known in the community at large, so in my case it
doesn't really matter.  If I were you, though, I would also try a second way
to make contact:  call the local Friends (Quaker) Meeting House (listed under
"Churches" in the yellow pages) and ask for help in reaching either the
Emergency Response Network, the American Friends Service Committee or Witness
for Peace.  The Quakers have been involved in this sort of work since the days
of the anti-slavery movement and play a large role in the ERN; if anything is
organized in your community, they are bound to know about it.

Please hurry, as there may be less time left than we think.  Thank you.
