Abstract: | Presents a brief historical review and statements of policymakers to demonstrate that the central principles of psychologists concerning nuclear war have affected the behavior of some policymakers. It is suggested that J. G. Blight's (see record 1987-16803-001) pessimism about the incompatibility between the views of psychologists and policymakers is unwarranted; considerations of why psychologists have had low impact on national security policy are offered.
