"In June 1982 the New York City Council voted to refuse all Federal funds for civil defense preparations for nuclear war. This decision was taken after extensive testimony by medical and governmental experts. The information was not only terrifying, but revealed our vulnerability to the effects of nuclear weapons. This booklet was designed by Physicians for Social Responsibility / New York City and the office of Council member Ruth Messinger to make that testimony available to everyone.".
