       Larry Agran's "New American Security" program promises to
defend not only our borders, but also our air, water, forests,
wildlife and natural resources.  As president, Agran would shift $20
billion a year that is currently being spent on the military to
environmental protection.

       These funds would be used to dramatically accelerate the
federal government's environmental activities in a number of areas,
including:

       * Cleaning up toxic and nuclear waste dumps

       * Safeguarding the ozone layer

       * Restoring our rivers and oceans

       * Building energy efficient public transportation systems that
	improve air quality while enhancing mobility

       To help realize his commitment to an energy efficient America,
Agran wants to take the high technology that the U.S. has poured into
military projects like the Stealth Bomber and Star Wars, and refocus
those talents and resources into developing plentiful, inexpensive,
non-polluting energy.

       Agran has also proposed funding an "EcoCorps" which, much like
the Peace Corps, would recruit America's students, farmers, builders
and teachers to travel the world, working on projects to protect the
environment.

       As the mayor and a city councilmember in Irvine, California for
12 years, Agran had one of the nation's most impressive environmental
records.  During his tenure, the U.N. gave its coveted Environmental
Achievement Award to the City of Irvine -- the only city in the U.S.
in 1990 to receive the award.  Agran's leadership guided the City
Council toward an impressive series of accomplishments, some of which
are listed below, and which indicate several areas of his ongoing
interest:

       * Adopting the nation's strongest and most comprehensive
municipal ordinance eliminating chlorofluorocarbons that pose a threat
to the ozone layer.  This ordinance became the model for similar laws
adopted by other cities across the nation.

       * Adopting a Hazardous Materials Control Program, protecting
residents from toxic chemicals by cracking down on industrial
polluters.

       * Permanently setting aside thousands of acres of open space,
much of which had been slated for development, permitting future
generations to enjoy those canyons, hillsides, wetlands, orange groves
and agricultural lands.

       * Instituting a curbside recycling program, one of the first in
California, in which more than 70 percent of the city's targeted
households participated.

       Agran's environmental record and commitment have been described
and praised in publications ranging from The New York Times to Rolling
Stone.  In 1990, Rolling Stone named Agran to its Environmental Hall
of Fame for turning Irvine into a "hotbed of environmental activism,"
spearheading "unprecedented hazardous waste laws" and "the most
far-reaching local measure anywhere" for controlling CFC's.

PS -- Agran is very much a serious candidate. I will post the Agran
"bio" (or see prev. posts (or request by email) for the polls
showing him ahead of Brown and getting close to Harkin on Jan. 25th,
and then the MacNeil/Lehrer and League of Women Voters blackout
(exlclusion from debates) hurt him quite a bit of course) -- Harel
