After founding the George C. Marshall Institute in 1984, Robert Jastrow wrote "How to Make Nuclear Weapons Obsolete" describing how the Union of Concerned Scientists had falsely discredited the Strategic Defense Initiative. The Marshall Institute started distributing reports, books and films and hold training seminars on the merits of SDI. When public television stations were preparing a program on SDI in 1986, Jastrow and the Marshall Institute board of directors urged TV station managers to provide air time for different viewpoints as obligated by the 1949 Fairness Doctrine (Oreskes and Conway, 2010, p.57).
