Dear Mr. Duff, In a recent conversation with Ms. Taquina Boston of your organization, I was encouraged to contact you regarding the possibility of doing a documentary on domestic preparedness and medical counter-terrorism in the United States. This is a national grass- roots project envoking emergency physicians throughout our country to become educated in matters of weapons of mass destruction emergency response. We hope to eventually train many other levels of the emergency medical response community and eventually the public itself.
All facets are necessary for a successful national response capability.
This is where PBS can help. A nationally televised documentary testifying to this problem as the number one national security threat and rationally and systematically encouraging the public to participate in domestic response and awareness is a very crucial step. Please see the enclosure. Enclosed is a video list of interesting speeches made by various senators, generals, congressmen, and myself. I am including a copy of the NBC Nightly News segment to give you the jist of what the Conference and related footage is all about.
