WASHINGTON (AP) —An envi-
jjfimental activist group is prepar-
to sue the Pentagon to stop de
cisive biological warfare research
while simultaneously establishing a

CZIIf iTi'he Eoundation on Economic
Bends, successful in a similar suit
against the Army, also has distrib-
|p a position paper to officials
iem more than 55 foreign govern
ments, suggesting ways to
strengthen a 1972 international
actord banning the pursuit of bi
ological weapons.
jDelegates from more than 100
Rintries are scheduled to meet in
■neva next week to review the
1972 accord.
■The foundation’s paper disputes
the recently outlined position of the
■agan administration that the 1972
Biological and Toxin Weapons Con
vention “must be recognized as crit-
lly deficient and unfixable.”
The Washington-based research
organization has focused its studies
i|recent years on developments in
■logical and genetic engineering.
Be group describes itself as a
Bearinghouse for public informa
tion on the political, economic and
environmental implications of such
arch.
he lawsuit against the Pentagon,
Ropy of which was provided to re-
ihrters in advance of its filing in
IS. District Court today, seeks to
step all Defense Department re-
■tch aimed at identif ying potential
J Blcnses against biological weapons.
Tl^^t'nder ^ ie 1972 agreement, the
$ l^ji Tinted States, Soviet Union and
J fine than 100 other countries have
not to develop toxic biologi
cal agents for offensive purposes.
But the accord does not prohibit de
fensive research.
Mu
The foundation’s suit asserts that
the Defense Department has ex
panded defensive research to such a
point that it now falls under the Na
tional Environmental Policy Act,
meaning environmental impact
studies must be performed.
It requests both preliminary and
permanent injunctions against con
tinued research until environmental
impact studies are conducted.
The suit is similar to a successful
court action brought by the founda
tion against the Army. A federal
judge issued an injunction in May
1985 that has stopped the Army
f rom building a new biological labo
ratory at the Dugway Proving
Grounds in Utah until it completes
an impact study.
The Pentagon declined comment
on the latest challenge, noting that it
had not seen the suit.
Foundation president Jeremy Rif-
kin said a $100,000 whistle-blower’s
fund that the group is setting up is
designed “to protect scientists and
their families who might suffer re
prisals including loss of job and in
come and government harassment
for publicly disclosing illegal biologi
cal weapons research.”
Rifkin said (he foundation estab
lished the fund thanks to a gift
“from an anonymous donor.”
He added the foundation haci al
ready mailed details of the fund to
10,000 microbiologists in the United
States and would soon attempt mail
ings to scientists in Europe.
As for the international confer
ence scheduled to get underway
Sept. 8 in Geneva, Rifkin said the
foundation was attempting to alert
delegates that the “missile gap para
noia of the early 1960’s ... is about
to be joined by the ‘gene gap’ para
noia of the 1980s.”
