Subject: CRYONICS trygve wednesday

Trygve Bauge tells me the following (to the best of my recollection and
reading of my notes):

The Nederland council yesterday passed an ordinance (vote 6 to 1) to ban
cryonics in that city (population around 1500?). The mayor had reportedly
told someone that it was just a zoning problem, with Trygve in a residential
zone; but Trygve says the city includes commercial and industrial zones, and
the law bans cryonics everywhere in the city.

The Council passed the ordinance as an "emergency" ordinance. The effect of
this is to by-pass the usual rule that a few citizens can sign a request and
delay the effect of an ordinance.  Trygve says he has easily enough support
in the city to hold off the ordinance at least six months, if it were not an
"emergency" ordinance. Trygve's attorney thinks he can show there is no
emergency, or otherwise obtain an injunction against enforcement of the new
ordinance.

The Council also passed a second ordinance, fining Trygve $300 for every day
his grandfather remains where he is. 

Joe Vigeretto (spelling uncertain) at telephone 303-258-7892 is helping to
organize Trygve's defense organizations. Those who want to help should call
him, among other things.

Trygve will be on a major Denver radio station for one hour beginning
midnight local time tonight.
