Introduction: FEMA Screening of THE DAY AFTER 1983

Listen to FEMA director Louis O. Giuffrida introduce a pre-broadcast screening of ABC's THE DAY AFTER. He is introduced by FEMA spokesman James Holton. November 14, 1983. After Giuffrida speaks, the rest of the tape is audio of the film playing. Side 2 of the cassette has some unrelated FEMA meeting audio and then more audio from THE DAY AFTER.

I remember when the Day After aired. Scared the crap out of me (I was roughly 9 yrs old). Growing up during the Cold War, the events in the movie could have easily become reality.
