Nuclear freeze campaign spreads from Massachusetts to nation
A broad nuclear freeze movement grows from three western Massachusetts Senate districts to Vermont town meetings and Colorado city councils, gaining 17,000 volunteers in 149 offices across 30 states. It counts over 18 Congress members backing it, while Reagan pursues Moscow talks. Randall Kehler leads the National Freeze Clearinghouse, financed by individuals and foundations including a Boston Symphony benefit, with a core in middle America and strong church support. The push argues for halt in nuclear stockpiling through negotiated cuts, while officials warn a freeze could expose the United States to Soviet advantage.
