and an additional 4. nine states want to keep what to lose theirnot obligations. world isthe whole waking up to realize the shared responsibility. a lot of young people involved in this movement. me. is very good news for andave people to work with some good ideas are coming. few people know all about that. mr. walker: this is a group of experts. some of us know a little more and some a little less on different areas.

it is wonderful to hear your impressions, which are very special and extremely important today. fromse we do not hear survivors that much even in washington, d.c., or japan. it is very good. we made progress today largely because of people like yourself and your self and your colleagues, who made a stand and are speaking truth to power on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons. i think it is 126 countries that have signed the humanitarian pledge. 127 now. good. i stand corrected. we have a couple more questions and we will try to keep the questions brief and get through everybody. >> thank you.

i work with physicians for social responsibility. friendwith our mutual who sends his greetings. you just answered a lot of my questions. physicians for social responsibility is working with the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. to promote the prohibition and elimination of nuclear weapons. about the newou momentum that is happening. there is a lot of skepticism here in the united states about the prohibition treaty because none of the nuclear weapons states have -- they are pretty much all opposing it. none of them have supported it and none of the umbrella states that are under the nuclear umbrella have supported it. that weou optimistic will still achieve such a treaty

despite all this opposition? ms. thurlow: i know there seems to be several different approaches in achieving prohibition designation. as one new york-based lawyer , those differences of .mphasis can be worked out whether it is the nuclear , ipons convention or treaty think a bit of differences can be worked out. and stopst prohibit

the use of the nuclear weapons. surely, we can achieve it. why not? we should seize this opportunity . i think the time is now. i have waited 71 years. if we do not seize this opportunity, and i know mr. obama talks about maybe this ,hat happened in my lifetime but why not? if there is a strong political will, it can happen. hopeful and itill believe it can happen. a lot of people are pushing for it. if we can get other people to join in the effort and keep pushing, why not?

and why don't we communicate our strong feelings to mr. president even before he leaves the office? we cannot afford to wait generations. 71 years is much too long to wait. we waste it. should.e we can and we mr. walker: let's take another couple of questions quickly. right here. >> i am kathy robinson with women's action for new direction. mostly, i want to say thank you for being here and thank you for all of the work that you have done and continue to do.

and amazingmenal that the president to hiroshima. the reality is that this president, with the complicity of the entire u.s. government and congress, is aiming at spending $1 trillion over the for the next generation of nuclear weapons. he wants to find more money for the next generation of nuclear weapons and not for the next generation of humans. i wonder if you could comment on that and how these budget priorities are really driving a dangerous future. ms. thurlow: i share your profound sense of sadness and

even anger. if somebody gave me the opportunity to speak with the president, that is one of the first things i would talk about. yes. that is great. i don't know what more to say. i just feel very disturbed by that. he drowned, he says beautiful things. i was wishing this time, in no, no.a, he would -- i do not know what more to say, really. working, i have been

all my life. i work in schools and with the families, learning disabilities of the children. they don't have enough budget for necessary supply. why can't we direct your taxpayer money to hospitals, instead of $1 trillion going to produce nuclear weapons. i do not even call it a weapon. it is a device of mass murder. somehow, we have to ask the de-prioritize.

i really don't know what else to say. it is just the crime depriving humanity in order to look out for our so-called security. and based on the false pretense of deterrence as security. i am sorry. maybe my response is not sufficient, but i just share your opinion. thank you. i think your response is very appropriate and we all deserve -- she deserves a good round of applause from us. to bring us back to reality to some extent. [applause] again, thankonce you so much for this. it means a lot to me.

why go to japan, i will take it with me and share it with the survivors. andk you for your support recognition. mr. walker: and thank you. we are delighted and honored to be able to honor you. i also want to thank kathleen sullivan, who i failed to introduce earlier. and has been her companion helping with the presentation. so thank you very much, kathleen. we appreciate it. there are several questioners still in the audience pims sorry we did not get to your questions, but i think she will be around for a wild. please corner her in the coffee break and get to know her better. with that, i will turn the program back to our esteemed director, daryl kimball.
