President Kennedy read the book, or the serialized version of it in The New Yorker. Kennedy asked his President's Science Advisory Council to check the book for accuracy, and they did. They reported on May 15, 1963, that pesticides posed a great problem for Americans, that Rachel Carson's book was accurate, and that the government should speed action to control pesticide use and reduce damage from pesticides.
