To the Editors of the Crimson:
Contrary to what President Derek Bok asserts, the Nuclear Free Cambridge Act would not limit arms control research. Nor would it limit any other research except that directed towards development of nuclear weapons. This is clearly stated in Sec. 6 "exclusions". "Nothing in this act shall be construed to prohibit or regulate the following... 3) basic research, the primary purpose of which is not to work towards the development of nuclear weapons."
