Thursday, August 28, 1982 Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: How many of us are dismayed at the outrateous plan of the Reagan ad ministration to deliver the mail after nuclear war? How many of our tax dollars have been used to create a 300 - page plan for the U.S. Postal Sendee to “deliver the mail” after nuclear war? God only knows to whom or by whom or from whom letters will be mailed! How absurd to think of such an impossible response to nuclear war. As Admiral Raßecque (USN Ret, former nuclear sub marine commander) has said, “This plan is an insult to the American people.” It is becoming more ob vious all the time that many of our current ad ministration leaders are preparing for nuclear war without an understanding of the true results for human life. They think that human life (i.e. perhaps their own personal lives) can somehow survive. Medically, biologically and socially, this will not be possible. As a physician who has studied this awful subject, I fed obligated to let people know that there is overwhelming medical evidence that there is no longterm survival possible from nuclear war, both because of massive radiation to humans around the world, and because of irreparabe damage to the entire ecosystem on which human life depends. If this latest outrageous plan does not bring a cry of protest from concerned American citizens, I don’t know what will. We ought to worry about the increased paranoia generated in other countries by our official government talk of getting ready to wage “protracted nuclear war.” After all, only one nation on this earth has ever dropped an atomic bomb on people, killing 100,000 innocent civilians, including newborns and unborn babies, and repeating it three days later on another city, with effects that are still occurring toda L, H S^SP?B paused this month to remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and to remember what nation dropped' those bombs? We must let our Congressmen and President hear from all of us who care about life. Maybe we don’t appreciate financing our own way to Armageddon with our taxes ($247 billion military budget). I agree we need defense - but not suicide. It is our right and duty as Patriotic Americans to speak out in favor of life and against the con templated destruction of this beautiful earth and all of God’s children. The only way to survival in the nuclear age is through sound, intelligent diplomacy with the others who live on this planet, with whom we disagree on certain issues; that takes both guts and brains. How very un - American and un - Christian to [dan for waging a war of in condevable horror that will end in the death of this nation and all her people! Sincerely, Candace N.
