Aa Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 August 13, 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR: CD Council Members 7H. Row: 4S notton sussect: 80 Yovte on The attached script for the forthcoming ABC-TV prime time movie was given to us this week and, as you'll note on the cover sheet, it is the latest in a series of revisions. This version reflects a number of changes which DoD insisted on before agreeing to provide support in the making of the film, support such as the use of National Guard troops, certain unclassified facilities, military vehicles and aircraft, etc. Unfortunately, our only contribution to the production is some dosimeters, the withdrawal of which would not bother ABC Films. It should be noted, however, that the revised script has been changed to reflect suggestions we made to the producers several months ago and which had not been included in the draft before this one. DoD, in using their clout to get changes they wanted also leaned on ABC to make the FEMA-requested amendments, nearly all of which they responded to. They are on pages 30, 31, 176, 177 and 178. The film is expected to be shown in two parts some time in early February. Shooting begins next week in the Kansas City area, so there's no chance of making any further revisions. cc: Director Brown Attachmentgd AN ABC CIRCLE FILM Revised 6/28/82 7/16/82 7/30/82 +8/i0/e2 THE DAY AFTER Screenplay by Edward Hume SECOND DRAFT Revised: May 7, 1982Brl0/be 30. 85 CONTINUED: 85 by HELEN MAN_IN : (looking for RESTAURANT #1 obstacles) It's not like we're What about all your... school children hiding plants? under desks, you know It's not so quaint MARILYN as that any more...
