Abstract

Earlier this year the House Armed Services Committee had under consideration a bill for the construction of public fallout shelters, HR 3516. This article is from testimony given one of its subcommittees on June 17, 1963, by Dr. Solomon, Executive Secretary of the American Psychological Association's Committee on Psychology in National and International Affairs. Introducing his testimony to the subcommittee, he stated: “I appear here today not as a special pleader, but as a behavioral scientist presenting a brief overview of the current research findings in his field which bear directly upon your present concerns.” Those findings are that public opinion is concertedly anti-shelter and that mere, involvement in a shelter program may increase public belief in the imminence of war.
