" Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is June 28, 1980,
and this is my AUDIO LETTER(R) No. 55. As most of you know I am
resuming the AUDIO LETTER today after a silence of four months.
My feelings at this moment are hard for me to express; but for
all of you who have stood by me when it mattered most, I want to
say a few personal words, because without your loyal support I
might never have returned to this microphone.

Just before I entered my recording studio last February 24, I
began to feel slightly ill. At first there was only mild
discomfort, but somehow I knew that it was something serious. I
tried my best to record AUDIO LETTER No. 54 while I was still
able to do it. I got about two-thirds of the way through the
recording session before I was overcome by a massive heart
attack. I didn't want to let you down, but I simply could not
finish. On the way to the hospital I knew that I would not be
speaking to you again soon, so I gave instructions for the
release of the unrecorded final portion of AUDIO LETTER No. 54 in
printed form.

During the time since my heart attack last February, my
associates have released three progress reports to keep you
informed. I won't go over all of that again now, but it was a
dark and difficult time for a while--not only for me, but also
for my associates and especially my wife and three children.

I entered those hospital doors on the brink of death, and I
truly believed that I had failed in my mission. During at least
the first week of my stay in Intensive Care, I felt no will to
live. At one point I was even told by my doctors that I had gone
through death's door, yet had somehow come back again. The
doctors were prepared for the worst, but yet something of a
miracle began to unfold. From all over the United States, and
then Canada, and then around the world, I began receiving
messages of cheer and encouragement--countless beautiful cards
with equally beautiful personal wishes written on them, telegrams
telling me of prayer meetings on my behalf, inspirational and
religious books and pamphlets of all kinds, letters and books
with suggestions to improve my health. There were flowers, there
were gifts, there were religious relics--on and on until it grew
into an avalanche. For weeks I was not well enough even to look
at all these things, but I could not believe my ears as I was
told what was taking place.

I had entered the hospital spent and exhausted, convinced that
all of my work had been in vain; but several weeks later when I
left the hospital to go home, it was with renewed hope and
determination to carry on. And in that spirit I have been
regaining my strength against all the odds; so it is that I speak
to you once again today. That, my friends, is what you did for
me. I will never forget all of you who stood by me in my hour of
need, and I promise you that I will always do everything in my
power never to let you down.

It was five years ago this month, in June 1975, that I began
recording my AUDIO LETTER Intelligence Reports. It was a shaky
beginning, because I was recovering from my first heart attack;
and yet little more than a year later I found myself at the
Pentagon because of the AUDIO LETTER. I had been invited there
by the late General George S. Brown, then Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. My conference with America's top military
officer was about the secret nuclear crisis then under way.

Of all the information media in the United States, only the
AUDIO LETTER had made the crisis public. In AUDIO LETTER No. 16
I told my listeners about the crisis conference with General
Brown. General Brown was doing his duty by taking urgent actions
to prevent imminent nuclear war; and yet, America's controlled
major media said not a word! Even after Pentagon spokesmen
confirmed my meeting with General Brown to newspaper reporters,
there was almost no publicity. [...]"
