The Value Of Government To The People

And At Ten, Or Whatever Time, In The Morning We Had The Press Conference, What We Knew Is There Had Been An Incident At Three Mile Island, That It Was Shut Down, That There Was Water That Had Escaped But It Was Contained.

There Were Schools And Hospitals Who Were Ready To Take People With Undescribed Injuries, But Not Necessarily Ready To Take People With Severe Radiation Poisoning.

And If You're Not Going To Have A Clear Health Threat, You Don't Want To Panic People.

Nobody Could Tell Us Or Really Had A Very Good Idea, If There Were A Massive Release Of Radiation, What Kind Of Medical Treatment People Were Going To Need And This Or That, Or, Indeed, Whether There Would Be Medical Personnel Around.

The Value Of Government To The People It Serves Is In Direct Relationship To The Interest Citizens Themselves Display In The Affairs Of State.
