Summary	Fellow employees of the federal government: We have two jobs now. One we do every day. The other we must be prepared to do in case of air raids. We won't fail in either. The Public Buildings Administration of the Federal Works Agency has developed plans to protect government employees and buildings. It is working in cooperation with the Civilian Defense Coordinator for the District of Columbia -- Commissioner John Russell Young. Mr. Charles A. Peters, Buildings Manager, is directly in charge. His office is completing all necessary plans and is organizing federal workers to carry them out. Authoritative instruction bulletins on this work will come from Mr. Peters' office periodically. This pamphlet is the first such bulletin. Read it carefully. Make sure you are completely familiar with everything in it. Ignorance of the part you play in this plan of protection may be disastrous. It may bring injury to you or your friends and fellow workers. It may cause damage that will paralyze the operations of essential government organizations. Only by knowing exactly what to do -- and doing it, if an air raid comes -- can we defeat the enemy's purpose. We have two jobs now. Philip B. Fleming, Federal Works Administrator.--p. [1].
