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 Sencer wrote an 'action memorandum' detailing how the Federal government should proceed. This section details how Dr Theodore Cooper, of the CDC, took Sencer's paper to Washington DC, and the resistance that his propositions faced.
