Bishops disappointed by House budget moves

Another bomb bites the dust
The nuclear "Bunker Buster," a new atomic weapon meant to attack underground bunker complexes, has been busted, according to the Friends Committee on National Legislation. An effort to budget further development of the Bunker Buster has failed before Congress for the second time in as many years.

"Defeating the bunker buster two years in a row shows how little support new nuclear weapons have in Congress," FCNL says. The group asks its supporters to e-mail their members of Congress at http://capwiz.com/fconl/mail/oneclick_compose/?alertid=8168586 or call them at one of their offices to thank them for not funding the program.
