Subject: People's Rally At Area 51


PRESS RELEASE:


People's Rally to be held in Nevada, near AREA 51 (Groom Lake)


Anywhere from 250 to 300 concerned citizens are expected to
attend this year's People's Rally at Area 51 in Nevada. The
three-hour rally will take place on Tuesday morning, June 6,
2000, beginning at 6 a.m. right at the restricted boundary line
on Groom Lake Rd. in Lincoln County, Nevada, almost right next
to the world's most "famous" and controversial "secret base".

The Area 51 People's Rally was started by Norio Hayakawa,
resident of Torrance, California (and formerly with the
Citizens' Watchdog Group on Government Oversight) in 1998 to
protest the secrecy around Area 51 and the violation of
environmental and other laws, which may have led to the death of
several former workers at the "notorious" base.

Hayakawa has recently retired from his pursuit of Area 51
research and has passed on his mission to Joerg Arnu, part-time
resident of Rachel, Nevada, the closest community to the base,
22 miles north of Area 51. Joerg is also the webmaster of
"Dreamland Resort", official homepage of Rachel's well-known
establishment and gathering spot, the Little A-Le-Inn:

A press conference will be scheduled in Rachel at noon on
Monday, June 5 at the Little A-Le-Inn (Tel. 775-729-2515) and,
according to Joerg, that evening there will be a camp-out at the
border of the restricted area by Groom Lake Rd. for those who
will be attending the Rally on Tuesday morning.

Anthony J. Hilder, former talk-radio host and co-organizer of
this year's rally emphasizes that the People's Rally is a legal,
public gathering and will take place on public land. The event
will be a peaceful get-together of concerned citizens, and there
will be speakers at the rally to address several key issues.

One of the issues is the continuing plight of former Groom Lake
(Area 51) workers who are still suffering from illnesses caused
by long-term exposure to toxic chemicals without their knowledge
while working at Area 51, the base that still doesn't officially
"exist".

At the rally, the following proposals will be made:

1) that the government, through an appropriate agency and
through the public media, give a statement of assurance that all
former workers were or are being medically treated for their
illness and were or are fully compensated.

2) that the government construct a clearly marked fence along
the boundary line by Groom Lake Rd., instead of vague, thin
orange posts posted wide apart.

3) that the government construct a new Guard Shack at the
restricted boundary line by Groom Lake Rd., instead of the
present Guard Shack which is hidden more than a third of a mile
inside the restricted area. The current hidden Guard Shack
causes confusion, and bears the potential of unintentional
violations of the border.

4) that the government admit and name this multi-faceted
military base in more concrete terms and not just a vague
designation like an "operating base near Groom Lake" which is
still being used. The lack of an official name for the base
could bring about more problems in the future when dealing with
lawsuits should they arise from any future accidents.

Although Norio Hayakawa has recently abandoned his
conspiratorial beliefs in regards to the aura of "mystery"
surrounding the base (i.e., the belief that the government had
purposely concocted, disseminated and manipulated popular
theories linking AREA 51 with 'alien' conspiracies and
"one-world government" conspiracies in order to discredit any
serious scrutiny of this base) he still believes that the Air
Force has befenited from such popular misconceptions concerning
Area 51.

According to Hayakawa (e-mail: Groom51S4@aol.com) these
misconceptions definitely helped to discredit any serious
scrutiny of this multi-billion dollar military research and
development complex and its programs, some of which may still be
in gross violation of environmental statutes.

Area 51 recently regained national attention when new satellite
photos (both the 2-meter and 1-meter resolution photos), taken
by private satellite firms in 1998 and 1999, were released on
the Internet by a Washington-based national watchdog
organization called the Federation of American Scientists:

The photos seem to clearly indicate that the base is still quite
active, even judging from the large number of employees' cars
parked around the Operations Building (around 260 cars, even on
a Sunday afternoon when the photos were taken), dispersing any
rumors that the base had been "relocated" elsewhere.
