thing off, I appreciate your concerns about the oceans. Because if 

 Mother Earth were here she would have a lot tougher questions to 

 ask, and I think that is what we have to think about. 



What have we done for our mother? 



Mr. Studds. Do you want to follow that, Mr. Forsythe? 



Mr. Forsythe. Thank you. 



Mr. Brown, in regards to the London Convention, and the IAEA, 

 you said that 47 nations are signatories to the London Convention. 

 How about other nuclear nations, other than the Western nations, 

 U.S.S.R., China, India? 



Mr. BRpwN. Well, I will submit for the record, with the Chair- 

 man's permission, the parties as of November 1980, but let me just 

 say that most of the major nuclear nations are members of the 

 Dumping Convention, but there are a few key holdouts. Korea is 

 one. Iraq and Iran are not parties. India and Pakistan are not 

 parties. Brazil is not a party, nor is Taiwan. 



Mr. Forsythe. Thank you. 



I think it would be good to have that in the record. I appreciate 

 it. 



Mr. Brown. Yes, sir.
