To the Editor: 

Thanks for your $62 million leak at Livermore Labs (Associated Press, June 7). The point is, of course, that if they can't build a leak-proof building, how can they build a nuclear bomb? 

Over 20 years ago, I was with a group that protested the building of such a bomb, and, as to the measure of what that city thought of us, they sent a man to chair the meeting who was "just told about it" that morning. He was with a city attorney's office. I said "arrest Livermore Lab," but he didn't. 

Now look. Sixty-three million down the drain.
