Letter by Thomas Homan dated 11 Mary 1988. Letterhead reads "Bittern Books 'Glenville', Crab Lane, Blackrock Road, Cork, Ireland." Appeals to the Government "to examine urgently the relation between nuclear fallout and AIDS, while initiating immediately mass voluntary testing of all males in the 30 to 40 age group for evidence of radiation damage to bone, blood and tissue." Also appeals to the Government to examine methods and provide support for people taking legal action for damages against Governments and industries, where they can show reasonable proof of "radiation injury".
