The Christic Institute

This is a letter of heartfelt thanks for the story of the Christic Institute (“Arms Scandal Brings Christic Institute New Visibility,” July 12). I had been supporting their endeavors without knowing much about the origins of the institute.

I think your staff writer Kathleen Hendrix did a marvelous job, and I am so grateful to The Times that the important work the institute is doing is finally known by a wider public.

I only wish that the senators and congressmen would touch upon it in the hearings from Washington.
