• National Security Action Memorandum 177: Police Assistance Programs

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

  National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) 177 deals with increases in the global level of police assistance programs for "less developed countries where there is an actual or potential threat of internal subversion or insurgency." Primary operating and funding responsibility for these programs is placed with U.S. AID (U.S. Agency for International Development) who are requested to follow recommendations issued by the interdepartmental committee on Police Assistance Program. Some thought is given to the funding issues surrounding these programs, and that they not be lost among economic aid programs already in place for those countries.

• National Security Action Memorandum 166: Report on Emergency Plans and continuity of the Government

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

  National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) 166 is a response to a report from the Emergency Planning Committee dated June 11 1962. In NSAM 166 the President endorses the recommendations of the report and the change in concept in emergency planning laid out therein: from the, then, current plan of "evacuation to distant sites" to one that examined the possibilities of "dispersion within the Washington metropolitan area and delegation to field office[s]." Such a change, however, would require "corresponding changes in other elements of emergency planning, including the assignment of responsibilities for emergency functions with the government and the organization of communications." The President further states that although the reports addresses the survival of the Federal government, the principles and conclusion behind the report's recommendations are "broadly applicable" throughout. Thus, he tasks the Director of the Office of Emergency Planning to assure that proposed regional emergency centers and survival programs of state and local governments are using "this common guidance" in "planning and preparing for emergency operations."
