John Holdren, former chair of the Pugwash Executive Committee who delivered the Nobel Peace Prize speech on behalf of Pugwash in Oslo in 1995, has been confirmed by the US Senate to be director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and will serve as Science Advisor to President Barack Obama. John is well known throughout the Pugwash Community, having attended his first Pugwash meeting in Aulanko, Finland in August 1973 and having served for many years on the US Pugwash Committee and the Pugwash Council. All of us in Pugwash wish John the very best, and look forward to working closely with him on the important issues of nuclear weapons, energy, and the environment that have been the hallmark of John's distinguished career.

See also: From a 2000 Pugwash speech: "A nuclear-weapon-free world is not just a dream. It's a necessity. It's the ultimate prgamatism in my view. It's the one long-term goal that makes short-term arms control measures that lead toward it more than just temporizing. The analysis in support of this proposition becomes more persuasive every year....In a rapidly changing world, which we are certainly living in, the establishment consensus on the necessity of nuclear weapons could crumble quickly too....[O]ptimism is the only alternative to despair. Despair is paralyzing; optimism is energizing. Pugwash was founded on optimism and on analysis. With your optimism, your analysis, and your energy, we are going to get out of the arms control impasse that afflicts us today, and we will get to a nuclear-weapon-free world." John Holdren
