It is my abiding belief that peace must be the business sfevery man, woman and childon this plmet, Without the aroused involvemerat of people eve here in issues whichconcern their very sanmival, there 6 1 1 be no peace.

The h e r i c m SovietWalk demonstrates WBPSPL: can happen when people take diplomacyinto their own hands, They readily find the common haannaplie which binds each of themto the othen: Th e Peace Walk is a living s p b o l oft he p o w r of people to accomplish whattheir governments have been unable, or unwilling to do: unite hummkind in a spirit s fhealing m d cooperation.

Something is happening. We are finally beginning to see the day, foreseen many years@o byDwight Eisenhower7when the people of the world want peace so much that g owm-ments have to get out of the way and let them have it.

h o p le we not w&ti* mymor e for governments to make peace. Instead, East and West,Nodh and South, they express not only the spirit of democraw but also the source s fdemocraw by taking peacemaking and justice-making into their o m ands.

Secure peace with justice may not come in a day or a yearr. Yet it will come. we canaBI thank the Ameriem Soviet Walk b r ringing us closer to friendship and peace.

What peaceful, loving ways are amilable to cut through the derrial and the self-propa-gdting parmoia which drives the arms mee? hate Marchers have vvalked across the UnitedStates, and from Lningrad to Moscow in the Soviet Union. They Itnow the dangersof the nuclear arms raee. They recognize its seriousness. They have embraced Alber~Einstein's call for a new vvay of thinking. Ther e are people across the country who fullyunderstand what is needed, and the dangers that the policies of this administration andprevious administrations have put us in, But there is a group ofextremists in Washingtonwho haw not yet understood. It is our job to explain it to them. It will be difficult, but1can assure you that there is a ehange happening at this moment - changing opinion,new sorts of political action - nd vve are going to see a significant ehange in U.S, policyon nuelear weapons and on many other issues.

It envisaged a ban on tests of nuelearvveapons, a freeze, reduction and eventual elimination of nuelear weapons, non-first-useof nuelear weapons, ending the arms race on earth and preventing it from spreading tooutler space, ereation of the amosphere of trust O;-retweernpeoples and countries, and pro-motion of enose international cooperation.The people w ho are part of a big movement, andor a large organization, can movethings ahead.

and love and solve the nuclear problem. Women from the side of the street, middle-agedand oldey; rushed out in tears, grabbing me and hu gi ng me in the street. Th is was uni-que.

How can 1hope to convey the passion that drove us to cre ak Ilnternielional Peaee Walkand attempt what became this remarkable Arnerican Soviet ventureP My motive m sstrikingly simple, and may be understood t h r o ~ home questions basic to h er ic an Sovietrelations: Ca n our securiky be ensured by making others feel insecure? Do we demorlstrateour civility by the amount of resources vsre can steal from our children to squander oninstruments of death? 1s our humanity to be measured by h e m o u n t of hatred andignorance we can direct at a heeless enenay, no less human than ourselves, no less sacredthan any other life?

Th e photographs you see in this book are of people and places we dared to come toknow and in so doing hw e come to love. Like yourself, they will all be destroyed in theernminent senseless holocaust of a simple human or computer error, o r perhaps an actof arrogance o r vanity or vengence. 'B'he fact that we have created this situation andaccept it as reasonable seems cause enough to devote a lifetime to m r k s of toleranceand compassion. Every hour of every day the USA and the USSR spend over $10,BOO,OB)(Ppreparing to annihilate each other. This is done with our money, and in our nm e .

It is important to keep in mind that the enemy is, and has always been, not nuclearweapons or weapons of any kind. Weapons are merely symptoms of a slingujarly humandisease, a disease that feeds on fear, ignorance and, most importmtly, denial of personalresponsibility. This malaise is perhaps best understood as an absence, in the sarne vvaythat darkness is the absence of light. Human evil is simply the absence of compassion,and the arms race is the ultimate expression of o ur sickness.

The beauty of this is that each of us can choose to be well, at any time, simplyby actingwith compassion. W need only to recognize ou r similarities and build from there, ratherthan to focus on ou r differences and defend from there.

The VValks are magic. They change the lives of thousands. And so vve at Internationalh a e e Walk and Trade Peace continue to do more Walks, and eoneerts, and internationalbusiness to fund international peaee vvork, and anything else we can think of. Becauseeverything that we can do, and everything that you can do, spreads just a l i ~ l e orelight . . .

Moving along the highway? surrounded by forest, a scatltering of people began to appear. They came to wave, tosmile, and to offer a hand in friendship. These gentlevillagers were b-ypical of the groups t h d gathered on theoutskirts of towrls to wlcome us. But as vve drew closerto the ancient city of Novgorod, we began to sense thasomething special vvsls happening, 'VVe m r e about to experience the thrill of a lifetime.

With each step forward the crowd grew larger. Massesof people w r e lining the roadway for miles ahead, all theway into the city itself. They clapped, offered gifts, askedfor autographs, and chanted for peace. "Peace, peace: theivoices rang from the sidelines. The sound was deafening

We crossed the city limits and found ourselves engulfedin the throng. It vvas a reception vvodlny of heroes. Old menfought back tears; women sobbed openly as they rushedto embrace us. ""No more Hiroshimas:' a young man cried"No more Ntyfasakis19

Over 60 ,OOO people turned out to greet us in Novgorodone-quarter of the city's population. If eveqone in theUnited States and Soviet Union, and the governments tharepresent us, could have witnessed that outpouring ofriendship .and love, if only for a moment, it is doubtful therem u l d ever be any nuclear weapons in our two countries

For most of us on the Walk, our arrival in Novgorodand the ovewvhelrning reception we received, will remainforever in our heads and memories.

The meetings took place with little advance vvarning, onthe day prior to our return Bight home. Those fortunateto attend took pa& in an unprecedented series of discus-sions, held simuPtaneously over a four hour period, onSoviet life and policies. At the eerlter of attention -retwrelve Jewish refuseniks, three Hare Krishna members,and sixteen dissidents, part of an illdependent and un-official peace group, The meetings did not always runsmoothly or without heated debate, but the revealing opendiscussions were additional proof that positive changesw r e indeed takling place in the Swiet Union. W werelistening; the essential ingredient to communication vvashappening. We were listening!

The American contingent departed Moscow for theUnited States on July 8, 1987. Upon our return, wegathered once again at B,eesburg, Virginia, for reorienta-tion and to reflect on what had taken place during ourlandmark peace mission among the Soviet people --.andourselves. Each of us came home with special memories,personal and emotional times that we were all willing toshare.

There were poignant recollections of that drizzly day atPiskarevskoye Memorial Cemetery in Leningrad, whereAmericans and Soviets stood silently, side by side; of thatmuddy night outside Zaitsevo, when we and our fellowSoviet walkers truly became "a family"; of the overwhelm-ing outpouring of affection at Novgorod. We rememberedbeing welcomed into Soviet homes, entering as strangersm d d e p ~ i n gs f~ends ;he group of fellovv Soviet vvalkers,who spayed up all night to plan a wonderful farewell pro-gram (an entertaining look at American history) in ourhonor; and the tremendous spirit and camaraderie during

the first international rock concert. We talked of carryingthe American Rag through Red Square; of grandmothershere; of smiling faces and tear-filledeyes; of reaching out, touching and being touched; and ofmaking new friends. The moments were o&en simple, yehaunting and tender. Not a day passed without them.

We learned so much about the Soviets, and they learnedmuch about us as friendly, peace-loving Americans. Whilethere are definite differences between our two countriesand cultures, there are incredible similiarities among thepeople. The two words vve heard over and over vverefriend-ship and peace. Th e Soviet people do not m n t war. Hardlyanyone wants vvar, but to eliminak all poss ib il i~ f a vvorldending nuclear confrontation, the methods of preventionwill change. lirorn fear and defense to friendship, love andpeace. This is a par(: of our h um m evolution to prevent vvar.

As one of our group confessed at 1,eesburg: " h e n t tothe Soviet Union with fear in mry heart. ]I came back withnny heart full of lovely

In 1985a young man saved my life in the Grand Canyon. As he was carrying me outof the Canyon he said that we were created in an act of love and that our purpose in lifeought to be to enhance and nu&ure that love. I believe that nuclear weaponry and theunderlying fears that nations use to justifi this weaponry comprise the greatest threatto our lives and the life of our planet. T he greatest act of l m hat one can commit isto m r k o calm the fears that d ~ v eations to rtlhreaten the plm et with a nuclear holocaust.Knmledge of Ibussian language and culture combined with nry organizing experiencegained on Th e Great Peace March .for Global Nuclear Disarmament in I986 enabled meto continue vvorking for peace on International hate VValk9sI987 h e r i c a n Soviet VValk.As VETalk Director, I spent two weeks in Russia trmeling our proposed walk route be hee nLeningrad and Moscow to negotiate the walk program with the local and nationalorgmimm from The Soviet &ace co rn mi ~e e. uring the walk itself, I worked with thesesame organizers around the clock to adjust the program to the needs of the walkers.We solved literally hundreds of problems through creative compromises as well as manytense confrontations. Through this intense interaction we came to understand eaeh others9points of view. Both organizers m d wlkers learned that despite cukural and ideologicaldifferences, trust can develop and tr ue cooperation can be achieved on an organizationalas w l l as personal level.

These bonds of trust and friendship are making it much easier for International PeaceWalk and the Soviet Peace Commi~eeo organize more walks.America and the Soviet Union have ofken rela kd to eaeh other by threats rather thandialogue. Our vvalks offer an oppo~uni lyor individuals of both nations to engage eaehoth er in dialogue and action that can positiw'ly transform the ways in vvhich we see eachother. We believe th& our example of trust and cooperation can influence our societiesand governments.

It is not so easy for me to be unbiased while trying to objectively evaluate the resultsof the American Soviet Walk.

18 is somewhat similar to an attempt of a caring parent to judge his beloved child.First of all 1consider our Walk to be one of the most remarkable and touching events

of last summer.What 1remember the morning of June 15was not the heat o r eonstant rain. But when

vve - he Soviet delegation of vvalkers- rrived to the "Pulkovo IY irpod and then greetedthe Right from 'VVashington,D.G., the sun came out from behind the clouds. I believe ourBig Brother- Nature itself -- m s eally happy because representatives of the two greatnations met and decided to walk from Ideningrad to Moscow for peace and disarmament.

Our first impression (that of the Soviet wallaers) was: "Hey, listen, they look exactly likeus!))

And the same words came out from the American pa&icipants: ""Look, here, they areiust like us!"

rlnd now as for h a t was especially great about the Lnimgrad-Mosccpvv Walk: duringit there w r e no sides or parties m y more. The Soviet and American peace-suppoo&ersijecanrle one and there vvns born a e c p m m u n i t y of a truly mighty power.

And what role does the popular peaee movement play in the eontemporary vvorld? Itused to be common knowledge that major political decisions are not made "in the streets';brat in the quiet of governmenhl offices, away from prying eyes and ears. But after theJanneSully ll"P87 h e r i c a n SoGet PeaceWdk, all ofUS l ~ n d e r ~ t ~ ~ da t he grass-root people,when they get together, are able to do a lot. The American Soviet Peace Walk b e em ea real sehool b r all of us.

We hope that the New Y e a will become a yew of unparalleled w r k for peace, a yearof joint effods to remove the threat of a nuclear war, which will be undertaken by peaee-Bwing people both in the USSR md USA.
