I am one of the few people who was personally exposed to the fallout of Nerve Gas from the Dugway Test of Nerve Gas that was responsible for the death of over 6,000 sheep in Skull Valley, Utah. This took place in March of 1968. I too felt patriotic to my government and so did nothing for myself or family. We lived on a ranch house directly in the center of all the sheepherds that were effected. The few neighbors that I had, died within a few years after the Dugway Test. I would like help in securing help and compensation from the government for the pain and suffering I had and still experience. Is it possible to get contact with Mr. Truman and anyone else who may be able to help me?

J. Preston Truman talks recently about fallout that occurred during Nevada bomb testing. He remembers when southern Utah residents considered it highly unpatriotic to question federal government claims about nuclear fallout.
