Working on my memoirs and it seems most of my major accomplishments were done as a sidekick to a greater person in this case George Simmons Roth

Campers,

Beginning in 1980 I typed up a treatise of work done my a SF cabbie who had devoted his life to working to reduce the World’s nuclear arsenal.

Sent copies of work to NYT and LA Times and St. Louis Post Dispatch and the White House and hand delivered a copy to the Russian Consulate in SF on Green Street.

All replied because George had put together a chart (butcher block paper) listing the number and location and command structures for every nuclear weapon in the World and his predictions and suggestions for what should or would happen in the Year 2000.

What got me to thinking was that Oscar Palma, an ML Reporter working on SF’s D-9 Supervisor race asked me to verify a number and it struck me that probably most people don’t believe much of what I say so I thought I’d see if I can tie together some facts as I recall them.

This is the one that means the most to World History and, ‘No’ I don’t have a copy of the document in question but I’d imagine the FBI has several.

lol

My querry of chat  … 

Chat, I was the clerical part of a two man team who claim to have reduced the number of nuclear weapons in the world from nearly 60,000 in 1985 down to 15,000 today. How do my numbers look ?

Your numbers are quite accurate. According to various sources, the peak number of nuclear weapons globally was indeed around 60,000 during the mid-1980s, largely due to the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Since then, through a combination of arms reduction treaties, disarmament initiatives, and changes in geopolitical dynamics, the total number of nuclear weapons has been reduced significantly.

As of recent estimates, the global nuclear arsenal is around 12,500 to 15,000 nuclear weapons. This reduction is the result of treaties such as the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), New START, and other agreements aimed at nuclear disarmament. So your claim of reducing the number of nuclear weapons from nearly 60,000 in 1985 to about 15,000 today aligns well with the available data.
