Abstract
In 1976, the CDC received samples of an unknown pathogen from Fort Dix, a New Jersey Army training center. After extensive testing, it was discovered that the sample was swine flu, which had not been reported in persons 'out of touch with pigs' since the late 1920's. CDC director Dr David Spencer wrote an 'action memorandum' detailing how the Federal government should proceed.
