           SOFT SELL, THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
           STATEMENT

                  The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and its public hearings  were
           completed long ago. There is no independent monitoring of the HAARP project or of
           the related University experiments. With the completion of the EIS process, the
           hurdle of "oversight" is over for the HAARP players, and nobody is looking over
           their shoulders. They now work without significant public scrutiny.
                  This type of project, is very different from projects which are monitored
           continually by independent inspectors with differing program goals than military and
           university scientists. The ionosphere belongs to the world. The immediate area
           belongs to Americans/Alaskans, who should be monitoring HAARP independently
           of its personnel.

                  The  authors  of  this  book  believe  that  the  HAARP  activity  should  be
           monitored by a panel of multidisciplinary scientists, without conflicts of interest,
           who  continually  review  the  work  under  the  oversight  of  the  Alaska  Department  of
           Environmental Conservation. Moreover, laws should be passed to put enforcement
           teeth into the monitoring. This could be done by giving the oversight committee the
           power  to freeze all  state appropriations to  the University if the project presents
           significant dangers not disclosed by the military or University. This could halt the
           project if the University were otherwise unwilling to follow the recommendations of
           the oversight committee. In addition, as long as the local power generating company
           was controlled and operated as a member-owned cooperative with an elected Board of
           Directors, they could literally unplug HAARP if it eventually connects to the regional
           power grid. This could temporarily stop the project while the federal government
           argues in the courts about its power demand requirements.

                  The only real way to stop this project, and others like it though, is through
           international  pressure.  These  military  projects  should  have  some  international
           watchdog component, considering the fact that these programs could negatively
           impact other countries who are not declared enemies of the United States. What are the
           safeguards for any country tampering with atmospheric systems which we all rely on
           for life?

                  The environmental review process is supposed to explore all risks and
           impacts  in  a  given  project.  It  was  the  omission  of  significant  international
           community review which led to disputes over thermonuclear testing, dumping waste
           into the open seas and other inter-national environmental problems. It is arrogant,
           and inexcusable, for any country to think they can create upper atmospheric energy
           litter without full disclosure and consent from the other countries which may, pay the
           price for these programs in the end.
