The Value Of Government To The People

I Was Scheduled To Give My First Official Press Conference That Morning Anyway, 'cause I Was Chairman Of The Governors Energy Council And I Was Making A Press Conference With Regard To Energy Policy.

By Thursday Morning, We'd Gotten Over The Worst Of It.

There Were Schools And Hospitals Who Were Ready To Take People With Undescribed Injuries, But Not Necessarily Ready To Take People With Severe Radiation Poisoning.

You Need A Graphic Understanding Of A Situation To Make A Complete Judgment And We Didn't Have That.

The First One, Obviously, Was Walking Into My Office At Eight O'clock In The Morning On Wednesday, And Being Told There Was A Telephone Call Saying That There Was An Incident At Three Mile Island, And That It Had Shut Down And That Beyond That We Didn't Know.
