• National Security Decision Memorandum 158: Instructions for the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks at Helsinki (SALT VII)

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  National Security Decision Memorandum 158 is directed to: the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Director, Arms Control and Disarmament Agency; and the Director of Central Intelligence. The United States position for presentation at Helsinki (SALT VII) includes the following offensive limitations: "(1) The Delegation should initially concentrate its efforts on reaching an agreement on offensive limitations. The Delegation must make it clear that our final decision on ABMs [anti-ballistic missiles] will be heavily influenced by the scope of the Interim Agreement. (2) Accordingly, the Delegation will continue to press for the inclusion of limits on SLBM [submarine-launched ballistic missile] launchers in the Interim Agreement. The Delegation should propose, at the outset, that the SLBM freeze date start on the date of signature of the Interim Agreement (rather than July 31, 1971). At a time he deems appropriate, the Chairman of the Delegation should propose that the ICBM [intercontinental ballistic missile] launcher construction freeze also start on the date of the signature of the Interim Agreement."

• Soviet and Peoples Republic of China: Nuclear Weapons Employment Policy and Strategy, Part II

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "In 1949 when the Chinese communists came to power they possessed little more than a sizable land army. And, to quote Mao, that army possessed little more than 'millet plus rifles'. To the Chinese leaders, their victory proved the validity of Mao's teachings that man, not weapons, is the decisive factor in war, and that victory over a technologically superior enemy can be gained in a protracted war of attrition and annihilation. [...] Professional military leaders argued in support of nuclear weapons and of new military technology, in general, at the expense of the slow development of the country's economic potential, as favored by some party leaders."

• American Indian Civil Rights Handbook

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "As part of its mandate to investigate the denial of equal opportunity to all minority groups, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has recently met with American Indians from various parts of the country to discuss their civil rights problems. One of the most frequently voiced complaints has been that the majority of American Indians have never been adequately informed about their civil rights. Consequently, it was suggested that the Commission prepare an explanation of the basic rights that Indians, both on and off reservations, share under Federal law with all other American citizens. That is the purpose of this Handbook."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  This is the April 24, 1972 hearing titled "Environmental Health Sciences," held before the House Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations. From the opening statement of L.H. Fountain: "We Americans have been much more fortunate than the citizens of most nations, not only because of our enormous economic resources and productivity, but also ecologically because we have had an abundance of land and water for disposing of waste products. We were not very concerned until quite recently, about the use of our land, streams, and air for waste-disposal purposes. In fact, neither our industrial plants nor our governmental facilities ordinarily took into account the social consequences of the water and the air they polluted. Those attitudes which were acceptable in an earlier period are no longer acceptable today. Our productivity and affluence in themselves contribute to the pollution which we seek to control. The public is demanding increased protection from a wide variety of environmental dangers involving, among other things, air, water, radiation, noise, toxic industrial chemicals, food additives, and pesticides. And the Congress, as well as State and local governments, are responding to these demands. The establishment of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and of the Environmental Protection Agency are examples of the Federal response to this challenge." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Kenneth M. Brinkhous, Frank E. Guthrie, Robert Marston, Daniel A. Okun, David P. Rall, and Daniel C.

From the opening statement of John E. Moss: "In our last hearing we focused on problems of accounting, specifically the need for uniform accounting procedures and uniform and more extensive disclosure to customers of broker-dealers' financial condition, as well as the adequacy of audit procedures. Now we shall turn to another important problem, namely, the pervasive effect of the stock certificate as a primary factor in back office difficulties and an obstacle to the rapid and efficient processing of transactions both on the exchanges and over the counter. These hearings will focus on the feasibility and desirability of one or more depositories to immobilize stock certificates, the development of a machine-readable certificate and accompanying documents, and the development of a more efficient system for clearance, settlement, delivery, and transfer of securities. A later hearing, scheduled for October 26 and 27, will consider the possibility of totally eliminating the stock certificate."

• Civil Preparedness: A New Dual Mission: U.S. Defense Civil Preparedness Agency Annual Report 1972

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "In the late 1950's and early 1960's, 'civil defense' became a household term. To nearly everyone it meant preparation to cope with the effects of attack. For a long time it brought to mind hardhats and CD armbands. The image was World War II vintage. Civil defense has come a long way since then. Today, 'civil defense' really is preparedness to meet a full range of emergencies and disasters in peacetime as well as providing preparedness against the effects of nuclear attack. Today, we face a new world-with new needs and new responsibilities for the public safety. In the complex world of today, civil preparedness must become more and more an essential element of our society. It must be useful every day, and not just a standby program, to be used in the event of an enemy attack. The way toward readiness for any eventuality is to prepare every U.S. community as fully as possible to meet the dangers of peacetime disasters. This also lays the solid foundation for emergency operations in event of an enemy attack. In time, 'civil preparedness' is expected to become a household term-replacing 'civil defense' in the American consciousness as a more meaningful and tangible expression of the responsibility of Federal, State, and local government for the safety and protection of the public. In recognition of the greater need for preparedness to meet the full spectrum of disaster, the President's Office of Emergency Preparedness and the Office of Civil Defense (now the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency) agreed in early 1972 to an expanded role for the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) in assisting local governments plan and prepare for peacetime disasters, and act when they occur."

Since that time Members of both Houses of Congress have been considering practical means of implementing the national commitments resolution.

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The report reflects a comprehensive study of the types of major natural disasters experienced in the United States and offers findings and potential solutions to prevent or minimize the loss of life and damage to property. In the preparation of the study, careful consideration has been given to the views of Federal agencies, State and local governments, professional and trade associations, research and academic institutions, private volunteer organizations, and individual experts. The final analysis and findings, however, were developed independently by an Office of Emergency Preparedness Disaster Study Group under my direction. The main thrust of this report points to the need for improvement in disaster preparedness at all levels. The findings contain potential initiatives for moving further toward an improved, concerted national disaster preparedness program. I commend them to the attention of the Congress; however, they should not be viewed as specific proposals for legislation or funds. I am providing the report to all Federal agencies having an interest in the findings, with a request that each agency consider those pertinent to its responsibilities in the preparation of present and future programs. I have requested that these agencies keep my office informed of actions related to the findings, so that we may have a systematic record of progress in the field of disaster preparedness."

The work of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency is described in the 10th Annual Report, which is printed at the end of the documentary material. The papers are printed chronologically. They are preceded by a topical list of documents and followed by a chronological list. Other reference aids include a bibliography, an index, and lists of abbreviations, international organizations and conferences, and persons. The papers were compiled and annotated by Robert W. Lambert, Chief, Historical Division, with the assistance of Ruth Ihara, Jean Mayer, and Douglas Kline. Useful suggestions were also received from other officers of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Technical editing was done in the Editorial Branch of the Publishing and Reproduction Services Division, Department of State."
