U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
Bethesda, Maryland
In January 1979 the U.S. Public Health Service initiated a search of its agencies for documents on the effects of fallout from U.S. nuclear testing. That effort originated with a December 1978 request from the governor of Utah about 1953 test fallout and subsequent Utah sheep deaths. By the end of March 1979 the Public Health Service completed its collection and established an archive with more than 11,000 unclassified documents. Information on this archive and a finding aid to it appear in a three-volume work published in 1979 by the U.S. Public Health Service, Effects of Nuclear Weapons Testing on Health. Microfilm copies of this collection are available at the CIC and at the Food and Drug Administration Library.
