Sir, - On the announcement of John Hume's resignation as leader of the SDLP, RT╔'s radio main lunchtime news broadcast an extract of a speech he gave to the Washington Press Club on March 18th, 1994. In these troubled times this speech, which highlights the preservation of human life, should be obligatory reading for all world leaders.
Thank you, John and Pat Hume, for a lifetime's work devoted to peace. - Yours, etc.,
Terry McNulty, Rose Hill, Wicklow.
