Letters To The Editor


Dear Editor,


Stop the wildfires sweeping our country by using Supertanker water bombing aircraft such as the DC-10 (see: DC-10 supertanker, on internet), Boeing-747 (see: evergreen supertanker, on internet), and IL-76 (see: waterbomber.com , on internet) that can squelch 12 to 24 football fields in area of fire in a single 12,000 to 24,000 gallon drop of water or retardant and stop the fire in one day instead of weeks or months as is now the case.

We must act immediately and end the terrible suffering!

Cook’s first person account of his experiences at NASA can be found in his book Challenger Revealed: An Insider’s Account of How the Reagan Administration Caused the Greatest Tragedy of the Space Age.


But he has worn other hats over his years in government.


His career included stints with the U.S. Civil Service Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, the Carter White House, and NASA, followed by 21 years with the U.S. Treasury Department.


Now retired from government work, Cook has decided to delve back to an interest that has been on his mind since his college days monetary system reform.


His book on monetary reform We Hold These Truths will be published later this year.


s recently caught up with Cook to discuss his thoughts on monetary reform, the social credit movement, and the effects of current U.S. monetary policy on the world stage.
