Dear Mayor Traboulay:

At its meeting on May 29th, 1984, Vancouver City Council
received many delegations in support of the attached Motion to
request the Provincial Government to declare the Province of
Fritish Columbia a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone and to pass legisla-
tion prohibiting the transportation, manufacture, distribution
or storage of nuclear weapons or any component thereof in British
Columbia.

Council supported this motion, including requesting the
Provincial Government to urge the Federal Government to hold
a national referendum to declare Canada a Nuclear Weapons
Free Zone and on the question of further testing of the cruise
missile.

On behalf of Vancouver City Council, I urge you to take
similar actions in the cause of peace and the abolition of nuclear
weapons. :

Yours cruly,

Michael Hartourt
MAYOR
