NOMOR, Committee for a Nuclear Overkill Moratorium.

Founded in Chicago in 1976, NOMOR's aim was "to call for a moratorium on the production of nuclear weapons as a unilateral American initiative ... for a first step toward stopping and reversing the ... international arms race." It engaged in media campaigns, sponsored conferences, workshops, and benefits, and was involved with the "Symphony for Survival." It published News from NOMOR between 1978 and 1986. In spite of regional support, especially from the academic community, NOMOR was not able to make the transition to a nationally-recognized organization, possibly because its aims overlapped with those of other similar groups. NOMOR ceased operation in the summer of 1986.
