Public Comments on Nevada Test Site Documents

To Whom It May Concern,

I write to comment about the inadequacy and impropriety of the Nevada Test Site Documents, based on the
personal experience of radiation problems in areas far from the Nevada Test Site.

The comment is that there must be more disclosure of additional regions of fallout toxicity from the Nevada
and Los Alamos tests. After several generations later, the US federal government must do what is right and
admit to toxic fallout problems following too many weapons tests. There might also be mention of some foul
play at work to contaminate the United States at the height of the Cold War 1945-1970, etc.

There has to be a responsible-minded approach to the major problems, something in lieu of claiming
responsibility, or liability, or compensation for victims from the federal government, ("crawling with
Communists" during the Cold War, as it were) The present government of the United States of America has a
moral and ethical obligation to fully disclose all toxicity levels, and yet, the US government certainly cannot be
held legally culpable by so many people during a time of war. Rather, there must be a citizens movement
towards full disclosure and scientific research, to positively identify the test detonation's radioactive fallout
levels once and for all.

My reason for commenting is related to the alarming toxicity levels of radioactive fallout in North Texas,
from the Nevada Test Site and the Los Alamos test site. I also just got burned by a drive through the highly
radioactive valley north of Snyder, Texas, (east of Los Alamos), and also observed pronounced levels of
radiation within the remainder of North Texas, the Oklahoma panhandle, and southeast Kansas (below the
Arkansas). Obviously there are fallout problems in many areas, and it behooves us all to face the problems, and
plan accordingly for future generations.

People think that there is no problem; that the waste from the testing is no longer an issue. That common
misconception must be alleviated, and certain areas must needs be condemned. The time is ripe for action on
the radioactive front, now that the Internet is in full fruition.


My credentials are that of an independent free-lance academic writer of books of religious law and
archaeological history. And, I am a seasoned telecommunications technician, and health care worker, with
paralegal experience pertaining to injury and disability. I speak some provincial Russian, and have some
familiarity with Soviet-era politics, and the Marxist Cold War policies and problems.

After completing a medium amount of research into the matter of Nevada Test Site documents and the
declassification of fallout levels, it is obvious that much is being swept under the rug in a reckless manner,
something that can only be blamed on the state of war that existed in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, not on the federal
government hog-tied during Vietnam, as it were. Who knows who can say why Ronald Reagan did not take up
this cause, nor the Clinton, Bush, or Obama administrations, yet coordinated social action is very long

overdue,

Sincerely,
