The Enemy has made attacks with large numbers of atomic weapons on
us our territories, bases overseas, and
Allies. The domestic air defense warning yellow for the first
attack was disseminated two hours before Enemy aircraft appeared over
our frontiers. At the same time as the air defense warning yellow was
announced, submarine launched missiles arrived and weapons emplaced by
clandestine means were detonated. However, the major weight of attack
has been delivered by manned aircraft.

Air Defense operations at home and overseas have destroyed
a substantial portion of the attacking aircraft but half of those
destroyed had reached the bomb release lines and had released their
weapons. Our military and Allied military operations have resulted in
casualties and damage to the enemy at least as great as those
received. Notwithstanding severe losses of military and civilian
personnel and materiel, air operations against the enemy are
continuing and our land and naval forces are heavily engaged. Both
sides are making use of atomic weapons for tactical air support and in
the land battle.

Intensive propaganda is being directed against the us and our Allies.
Clandestine activities and sabotage are being conducted.

Both on this continent and overseas, the major weight
of the attacks appears to have been directed on our military.

Without thorough radiological defense monitoring and the application
of adequate protective measures many more radiation injuries will
occur from the cumulative effects of exposure to residual radiation.
