It is not only urgent but possible. Under President Reagan and Soviet Chairman Gorbachev dismantled 50,00 nuclear weapons. Rotarians took the lead in creating a United Nations where the first resolution of the Rotarian President of the General Assembly was to address the question of nuclear weapons. Rotarians, the world, is still working on that. Rotary has divested Rotary from nuclear weapons. Rotary can do more.
