of an enemy attack. This warning is to be given by means of
_ _____ sirens installed in towns and cities likely to be attacked or
«,~,, which might be subject to radioactive fallout. The Army's
present construction programme calls for the erection of one
siren in your city. Agreement has been reached as to the actual

designated by you, by commercial telephone. To prevent abuse
or misuse of this procedures code words will be issued by which
all real messages will be authenticated. It would then be the
responsibility of your official to sound the siren and warn
the public.

operating 24 hours a day.
