• National Security Decision Memorandum 90: Instructions for Strategic Arms Limitation Talks at Helsinki (SALT III)

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

  From the Document: "After considering the discussions and recommendations of the Verification Panel, the President has made the following decisions with respect to instructions for the U.S. Delegation for continuing discussions at Helsinki: (A) The principle aim of the U.S. Delegation will be to elicit a detailed Soviet response to the issues contained in the U.S. proposal tabled in Vienna. Accordingly, the Delegation should avoid volunteering any clarifications except for that in paragraph F below; (B) In the discussion of 'accidental and unauthorized launch,' it should be made clear that this general issue is to be treated as part of a general strategic arms limitation agreement. A separate agreement on this issue cannot be considered at this time; (C) Should the Soviets propose further negotiations on the proposed agreements for exchange of information and notifications concerning accidental and unauthorized launch of nuclear weapons, the Delegation should take this position: (1) We can agree to an exchange of information on events when it is judged that such an exchange of information would be useful in reducing the danger of an unintended war between the U.S. and the USSR."

• Study of the Need for Arrest Powers by Federal Troops Performing Civil Disturbance Missions

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

  A thesis presented to the Faculty of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in fulfillment of the requirements of the Individual Research Elective Program. From the thesis abstract: "The question of employing Federal troops in domestic situations has both political and legal implications. The Constitution gives the President power to use troops in support of controlling domestic disturbances. Title 10, U. S. Code specifies three main prerequisites for Federal intervention in local disorders: at the request of appropriate state authorities; when states are unable to maintain order; or when states are unwilling to enforce the law. The President also has the power to use military force as a result of other specific legislation which permits use of troops to enforce civil rights, protect Indian reservations and maintain order on public lands. Intervention to protect Federal property is an accepted principle."

We would initially propose 1900 as this number."

• Application of the Decontamination and Dose Control Model to an Industrial Complex

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

  "This study describes the application of a previously developed decontamination and dose control model to the problem of planning and scheduling the radiological recovery of a representative critical industrial installation, i.e., a steam power plant. The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of recovery operations and the related planning factors generated by the model under varied radiological conditions. The model application has shown that the Hunters Point power plant can- be successfully recovered and operated, when subjected to- a broad range of fallout dose rates and fallout mass loadings, without exceeding the total number of men currently employed. Seventy men can decontaminate 13 acres of roofs and grounds in 4 to 6 hours. On completion of decontamination at the end of 14 days, all plant personnel are free to resume their regular duties--providing no more than about 6 hours per day are spent outside of the major structural complex the first month after attack. Without a decontamination effort, denial times would range from 1 month to over 3 months."

• Fallout Migration from a Sloped Roof

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

  "The objective of this overall project was to develop and test-radiological countermeasures that are applicable to post-nuclear attack recovery operations. The specific objective of this phase of the project was to conduct an exploratory experiment on the possible effectiveness of passive roof decontamination, by weather induced migration, in reducing the potential exposure rate in the basement shelter area of a small dwelling having a sloped roof. For the structure utilized and incident weather encountered: 1. Contrary to expectations that migration would cause dose rates to decrease in basement shelter areas, the actual migration of fallout particles from a sloped roof may cause such dose rates to either increase or decrease with time. 2. The presence of gutters can effect a dose increase during early time. The same effect may be expected in some, but not all shelter space if the fallout fell in a line under the roof eaves. 3. Even mild weather conditions can have significant effect on the movement of fallout particles on a sloped roof."

• Alaska Earthquake, March 27, 1964: Lessons and Conclusions

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

  "One of the greatest earthquakes of all time struck south-central Alaska on March 27, 1964. Strong motion lasted longer than for most recorded earthquakes, and more land surface was dislocated, vertically and horizontally, than by any known previous temblor. Never before were so many effects on earth processes and on the works of man available for study by scientists and engineers over so great an area. The seismic vibrations, which directly or indirectly caused most of the damage, were but surface manifestations of a great geologic event-the dislocation of a huge segment of the crust along a deeply buried fault whose nature and even exact location are still subjects for speculation. Not only was the land surface tilted by the great tectonic event beneath it, with resultant seismic sea waves that traversed the entire Pacific, but an enormous mass of land and sea floor moved several tens of feet horizontally toward the Gulf of Alaska. Downslope mass movements of rock, earth, and snow were initiated. Subaqueous slides along lake shores and seacoasts, near-horizontal movements of mobilized soil ('landspreading'), and giant translatory slides in sensitive clay did the most damage and provided the most new knowledge as to the origin, mechanics, and possible means of control or avoidance of such movements. The slopes of most of the deltas that slid in 1964, and that produced destructive local waves, are still as steep or steeper than they were before the earthquake and hence would be unstable or metastable in the event of another great earthquake. Rockslide avalanches provided new evidence that such masses may travel on cushions of compressed air, but a widely held theory that glaciers surge after an earthquake has not been substantiated. Innumerable ground fissures, many of them marked by copious emissions of water, caused much damage in towns and along transportation routes. Vibration also consolidated loose granular materials. In some coastal areas, local subsidence was superimposed on regional tectonic subsidence to heighten the flooding damage. Ground and surface waters were measurably affected by the earthquake, not only in Alaska but throughout the world."

• Effects of the Earthquake of March 27, 1964, on the Alaska Railroad

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

  "In the 1964 Alaska earthquake, the federally owned Alaska Railroad sustained damage of more than $35 million: 54 percent of the cost for port facilities; 25 percent, roadbed and track; 9 percent, buildings and utilities; 7 percent, bridges and culverts; and 5 percent, landslide removal. Principal causes of damage were: (1) landslides, landslide-generated waves, and seismic sea waves that destroyed costly port facilities built on deltas; (2) regional tectonic subsidence that necessitated raising and armoring 22 miles of roadbed made susceptible to marine erosion; and (3), of greatest importance in terms of potential damage in seismically active areas, a general loss of strength experienced by wet waterlaid unconsolidated granular sediments (silt to coarse gravel) that allowed embankments to settle and enabled sediments to undergo fiowlike displacement toward topographic depressions, even in fiat-lying areas. The term 'landspreading' is proposed for the lateral displacement and distension of mobilized sediments; landspreading appears to have resulted largely from liquefaction. Because mobilization is time dependent and its effects cumulative, the long duration of strong ground motion (timed as 3 to 4 minutes) along the southern 150 miles of the rail line made landspreading an important cause of damage."

  This document contains the December 15 and 16, 1969 hearings titled "Phosphates in Detergents and the Eutrophication of America's Waters," held before the House Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations. From the opening statement of Henry S. Reuss: "America's waters are beset by myraid forms of pollution. Some are gross and visible, like raw sewage. Others are subtle and insidious, like phosphates. Phosphates fertilize the growth of vegetation in water, and lead to accelerated eutrophication and destruction of a body of water by excessive vegetation, particularly algae. Oxygen deficiency occurs as the plantlife dies and decays. Lakes become uninhabitable by valuable sport and commercial fishes. Great mats of decaying weeds and slime wash up on beaches, create stench, foul fresh water intakes, and depress lakeshore property values. Eventually the lakes turn into swamps and bogs. [...] Almost 5 billion pounds of detergents were sold in the United States last year. Most of these, except some light-duty products, contain substantial quantities of phosphates. Hence, without in any way minimizing the amount of phosphates contributed from other sources, our hearings today and tomorrow will focus on how the detergent industry can help to reduce the phosphate pollution."

This program was first sanctioned by the Congress in 1951, at a time when it was becoming obvious that U.S. involvement around the world would expose American air carriers to increasing risk of loss through war, hostilities or other forms of deliberate violence. The Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce examined the issue at that time and concluded that reliance could not be placed on insurance to cover such potential losses. If U.S. air carriers were to be protected, it was felt that some special form of Government insurance should be made available on a standby basis. Without such protection the American carriers would not be able to offer service under diverse conditions in many parts of the world, thus detracting from U.S. international interests and harming our economic trade. It was these considerations that lead to the enactment of the war risk guarantee program and that explains its subsequent extensions."
