Subject: US Bases in Panama & Philippines: SF Forums

Greetings,

There will be two San Francisco Bay area forums 
on:

*** THE CONSEQUENCES OF U.S. MILITARY POLLUTION 
ON PANAMA AND THE PHILIPPINES ***

These two free events are being held Monday, 
October 30, 7 PM, Fort Mason, Building C, Room 216, San Francisco; and Thursday, November 2, 7:30 PM, La Pena Cultural Center, 3105 Shattuck Avenue, Berke
ley.

Representatives from Panamanian and Philippines 
grassroots groups will discuss the environmental impact of U.S. military toxic wastes and the foreign policy impacts of future military treaties at the
se two Bay area forums. The U.S. is scheduled to 
completely withdraw from Panama by 1999, as it did in the Philippines in 1992. The toxic legacy of decades of U.S. military presence in these countr
ies has left a dark cloud over bilateral 
relations, and is a threat to local citizens, as well as to future U.S. relations in Asia and Central America. Recent photo's, first hand accounts, and oppor
tunities for action will be presented and 
discussed. 

In addition to the forums, we will be taking our 
Panamanian and Filipino guests on tours of NAS Alameda (10/31: 10-12PM), NS Treasure Island (10/31: 1-2PM), NSY Hunter's Point (10/31: 2-4PM), and For
t Ord (11/1: 3-5PM). Members of the public are 
welcome to join these tours but must let Nick Morgan know in advance of such interest.
