The views and objectives of both organizations were sum marized by Dr Howard Hiatt of the Harvard School of Public Health when he wrote “Recent talk by public figures about our winning or even surviving a nu clear war must reflect a wide spread failure to appreciate a medical reality: any nuclear war would inevitably cause death, disease, and suffering of epidemic proportions and with out effective medical interven tion Prevention is therefore es sential." According to Hiatt, “Nuclear war would be the last epidemic our civilization would ever know " The theme of nuclear preven tion has prompted physicians from all over the country to join in an effort to inform the public of how the medical community views nuclear warfare and its effects. The group's presenta tions and writings are intended to show that the medical com munity would be incapable of responding to the needs of nu clear war victims. The group also disagress with Defense Department claims that evacua tion plans, fallout shelters and contingency hospital systems civilian defenses in the event of a nu clear confrontation The PSR was formed in 1961 by a group of physicians in the Boston area concerned by the iack of data on the mcuiLdi ciiui nucicai wai The founding members re searched the effects of a ther mo-nuclear attack on Massa chusetts, a medical and de fense industry center, and found that effective medical re sponse to such an attack did not exist. Since its founding, PSR has testified before Congress on the medical aspects of nuclear war and before city councils and other governmental bodies across the country on the futility of civil defenses. The organiza tion has also helped organize campus teach-ins and Ground Zero Week events TIME magazine has called PSR “the most effective group in the anti nuclear movement.” Computer Applications Students Pacific Gas and Electric Company cordially invites all upper division and graduate Computer Science, Engineering (EE, ME, IE, ChE), Operations Research or Management Science, and Business Students to meet, enjoy refreshments and discuss career opportunities with members of our staff.
