Milano, 21 January 2001

Dear Sir/Lady,

I have just read your:

Fact Sheet N° 257
January 2001
DEPLETED URANIUM

I am astonished that in the "Recommendations", in view of the so-called many gaps in knowledge about DU that need further research, you don't suggest STRONGLY to stop any further DU dispersion in the environment, either military or commercial.

We are asking ourselves here in Italy if you are all mentally ill, maybe a side effect of the heavy research you undergone in the past years on the effects of radiation on human health, or just a bunch of criminals. This information is needed because we must to know if you need to be cared or simply arrested and jailed ASAP.

Any suggestion is wellcome.

Thankyou for your attention.
