,ETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Do you want to know something more about a
particular subject or maybe why things are done
this way rather than that? Maybe you don't have
time to investigate the subject fully or maybe you
don't have access to the information needed to
make a judgment or time to learn more about the
subject.
Now, because of the formation of a new com-
mittee, subjects can be discussed, questions an-
swered, and problems resolved. The DD/S, in a
memorandum dated 12 August 1970, created a
committee for the publication of the NEW Support
Bulletin. We say new because it's not strictly a Sup-
port Bulletin any more. YOU NEED TO KNOW
is the new lead, the cover is new and we hope the
articles herein are new and contain some of every-
one's "thing."
The committee, composed of representatives from
the seven Offices of the DD/ S and the Chief, Sup-
port Services Staff, is charged with having direct
participation and appropriate responsibility in the
publication of lively and interesting material.
If you have a subject you would like to know
more about, a problem that you don't know where
to turn for the answer, an article that you think
should be published or a simple question that needs
answering, jot it down and send it to Editor, YOU
NEED TO KNOW, Room 7D10, Headquarters.
Please mark it "Eyes Only" and classified, if ap-
propriate. Letters may be signed or unsigned and
all letters will be kept in the committee's confi-
dence. No Dear Abby letters please!!!!

SECRET
of paper pollution and-
by
THE SPACE RACE
DDS/OL/PSD
The technology of the 70's permits the genera-
tion of hard copy* information at mind-boggling
rates hitherto undreamed of. How will man cope
with these torrents of paper unleashed upon him
by the hordes of eager graphic communicators
armed with automated typewriters, copying ma-
chines, computer printers, duplicating machines, and
printing presses? Will man become an unwitting
victim of his own hard-nosed insistence on hard
copy-or will he find his salvation and survival in
a centrally serviced soft display?** Do we have a
real problem or merely a "Paper Tiger"? Witness
below the goings-on in our own organization and
judge for yourself.
Let us first examine some staggering statistics on
this problem of perpetual proliferation of paper
pollution. In the parlance of a Records Manage-
ment Officer, 2,000 pages of documents equal one
cubic foot. Eight cubic feet of active files requires
one four-drawer safe (costing $700) which occu-
pies 8 square feet of floor space ($40 per year).
One cubic foot of inactive documents also requires
one linear foot of shelf space when stored at the
Records Center.
To help illustrate the enormity of the problem,
let us add three more units of measure: (1) an
"OW" is 75 cubic feet this is the volume of files
which, when stored in safes, would displace one
Office Worker; (2) a "WM" equals 555 cubic
feet-this is the volume of documents required to
make a stack as high as the Washington Monument;
(3) a "DM" is 5,280 cubic feet-this is a document
mile. Thus, in our Headquarters we have holdings
in hard copy that are in excess of 42 DM's or enough
to completely fill a conveyor belt from here to the
Records Center. About half are in 12,000 safes
with a current replacement value of $8.4 million.
The annual net growth from 1960-1969 averaged
1.4 DM's and this required an additional 900 safes
each year.
*Typed or printed on paper.
?*Images produced without paper, such as on TV-type
or microfilm reader screens.
At the same time, the bulging Records Center
contains over 20 DM's and, if the records stored
at the Center were stacked on the front lawn, we
would have 187 WM's. Although the Records Cen-
ter disposes of 2 DM's each year they receive an-
other three DM's and have since 1960 averaged a
net increase of 1 DM per year.
In addition, our army of analysts and authors
with a formidable array of highly sophisticated re-
cording, reproducing, and printing devices at their
command, annually contributes some 271 million
pieces of paper to the information explosion. This
is an amount equivalent to 1,805 OW (office worker
space) which if filed in safes could easily become
a major cause of personnel attrition. Most of it,
fortunately, is not filed-at least not by us-it is
rapidly mailed out at hourly intervals for others
to read, annotate, and file-or destroy. But retalia-
tion by the recipients is swift and relentless. Fleets
of planes, trains, and trucks bring to us each day,
tons of new material proudly collected or produced
by other organizations in a never-ending paper cy-
cle. Our trucks shuttle twice daily to the Records
Center with paper files that are to be retired, and
surplus copies of publications, bringing back files
that must be reexamined and documents for supple-
mental distribution.
Periodic purge campaigns are waged and our
are in constant use. But, in spite of all at-
tempts at file discipline and corrective action the
net growth of hard copy continues at an alarming
rate at Headquarters, at the Records Center, and
in the field. Unfortunately, the combined total
space available for office workers and office files
is limited.
Can man be rescued from his self-imposed
papyrus prison? Is there a solution to paper pollu-
tion? Obviously, all conventional approaches to
this problem have proven inadequate. Our manage-
ment, long aware of the problem, has for many years
sponsored research and development of advanced
information systems design and many have been
successfully implemented. Long-range systems now
being developed attack this problem at the source,
by capturing the data in digital form, in lieu of
paper at the time of its creation, using remote
terminals, magnetic tape typewriters, and optical
scanners. This, in turn, opens the door to high-

speed electronic transmission, indexing, filing, edit-
ing, sorting, processing, manipulating, and retrieval.
Last, but not least, the user, sits in an upholstered
chair, before a desk-top TV-type soft display and
the information he requests (by keyboard) is
presented to him without the benefit (P) of hard
copy.
Unfortunately, while we are awaiting the new
systems-and our escape from inundation-the ar-
rival of new and faster apparatus for producing
hard copy is undermining, still further, our efforts
to reduce our paper holdings. For example, the
Xerox 3600, a recent addition in the highspeed
copying and collating field, is so efficient and easy
to operate that whole new paper systems are being
built around it-causing copying requirements to
emerge which never existed before. Few will deny
that it adds a new dimension to rapid information
dissemination. of these machines have been
acquired in the Headquarters area in the last 16
months. In two months each machine is now pro-
ducing 80 cu. ft. of paper-enough to fill $7,000
worth of safes or to displace one office worker
(OW). Thus, whatever part of this volume does
actually end up in a safe, becomes a mate
serious concern. In one year each of these u
new machines produces a stack of paper as high
as the Washington Monument-one WM per Xerox
3600 per year.
What is needed, then, is an interim battle plan
to retard the growth of paper holdings until help
(through new systems) arrives at hand.
Such a plan must:
(a) Provide a means for at least stabilizing
the net volume of files.
(b) Be cost-effective.
(c) Be capable of quick implementation.
(d) Be compatible with systems of the present
and future with a minimum of equip-
ment obsolescence.
One plan now being given serious consideration
to stabilize the net growth at the Records Center
appears to meet all of these requirements. This
plan would utilize roll microfilm for files that
become inactive in order to save storage space.
Microfilm is, of course, already being applied ex-
tensively to our information systems. We and our
predecessor organizations were pioneers in this field.
Millions of dollars have been invested by our or-
ganization in the development of large microfilm
storage and retrieval systems.
In spite of many advertised claims, microfilm is
not a panacea for all records and document-han-
dling problems. For example, no efficient means has
yet been devised for the rapid updating or inter-
filing of microfilm images, which is a basic require-
ment of a typical active hard copy file. The one
application for which microfilm has proven itself
ideally suited is the use of 16mm roll film for files
which do not require interfiling of new material,
such as sequential chronological or inactive files,
and which are added to but never updated. Virtu-
ally all of the material being sent to the Records
Center falls into this category.
For many years the GSA has maintained that the
microfilming of Federal records for the purpose of
saving space was economical only if the records
were to be retained for 35 years or more-simply
because the filming cost normally exceeded the hard
copy storage costs.
This criteria is not applicable to the current op-
erations of our organization. Because we can utilize
existing equipment and personnel we have a more
favorable cost ratio that will permit filming of in-
active records that are scheduled for storage as
little as eight years. For an active file at Headquar-
ters which does not require interfiling, the minimum
retention criteria may be as short as 2 years.
Thus, there is hope for arresting the flow of paper
to the Records Center and for rescuing our Office
workers whose working area is now being rapidly
usurped by mountains of paper-provided, of
course, that we can learn to live with the soft dis-
play, i.e., the microfilm reader, for part of his
work. Plans are now underway to select appropriate

files for microfilming and to initiate a pilot program how it works-
and feasibility study to determine to what extent
microfilm may be cost-effectively applied for space-
saving purposes. Procedures for standardized index-
ing and formatting will be developed as well as for
the continuity of the systems. More seminars are
planned to familiarize users with the variety and
sophistication now available in microfilm readers.
If the pilot program proves successful, other files
will be examined by the Records Management Offi-
cers to determine their suitability for this program.
From this examination, requirements can be de-
veloped with which to establish a mutually ac-
ceptable overall program to finally regain control
of the paper problem. To the expression "Publish
or Perish," we might now add "Microfilm or Move."

THE DEFENSE SATELLITE
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
THE OXYGEN GIVER
A blade of grass.
It is quiet. It has no moving
parts. Yet in its growth process,
it takes polluting gases from the
air and returns pure oxygen.
In a season of active growth, the
grass in a well-maintained lawn,
50 by 50 feet, liberates enough
oxygen to meet the needs of a
family of four day after day.
As it performs this miracle,
grass also provides the basic
food supply for animals and man.
It does this by photosynthesis,
using the energy of the sun
to turn carbon dioxide, water
and minerals into green growth.
The idea of using a satellite as a relay point for
communications between widely separated points
on earth was conceived long before any nation
possessed the capability to orbit one. For years, as
an alternative, microwave relay towers-based on
the same principle but limited to distances of about
30 miles between towers-have been used to in-
terconnect our nation's cities. These towers which
dot our land, in conjunction with a maze of cables
and wires, enable nationwide coverage of such
events as a Presidential telecast or a World Series
playoff. Effective and reliable as the system is, it
has at least one very severe limitation-it is utterly
useless over ocean expanses due to its short range
constraint. Even the use of aircraft to provide trans-
oceanic links at the desirable microwave frequencies
is impossible since they cannot reach an altitude
necessary to "see" the American and European con-
tinents simultaneously. However, satellites can. In
fact, at an altitude of 22,300 nautical miles, satellites
can provide line-of-sight contact between points on
earth separated by as much as 10,000 miles!
The Communications Satellite Act of 1962
charged the Defense Communications Agency
(DCA) with establishing a satellite communications
system to service the needs of the U.S. Government;
civilian and military.

Military satellites must satisfy a number of char-
acteristics that are not essential to other govern-
ment agencies. Military systems must possess flexi-
bility for rapid extension of service to any area.
They must have an extremely high degree of re-
liability for support of military operations. They
must be secure from enemy monitoring or lamming.
The list goes on.
On the premise that a military oriented system
will automatically meet other governmental require-
ments, the DCA designed a two-phase program.
The satellites of the Initial Defense Satellite Com-
munications System (IDSCS), Phase I, were de-
signed for maximum simplicity, one of the classic
approaches to high reliability. Each satellite is 36
inches in diameter and weighs approximately 100
pounds. Eight thousand solar cells ensure a contin-
uing power supply during sunlit periods. 't'here are
no moving parts.
Twenty-six satellites have been launched into an
orbit of approximately 21,074 nautical miles-
slightly below synchronous altitude-and form a
s,elt around the earth's equator. They drift, relative
to earth, at about 30 degrees per day. Simply stated,
+his means that a single satellite stays in view of
an equatorial ground station for about 41/2 days.
The malfunctioning of a given satellite does not
impair the capabilities of a particular link for any
oxtended length of time because new satellites are
constantly drifting into position. Designed primarily
as experimental, with only limited operational ca-
pability, these satellites are programed to shut
off after 6 years of service. Because of a 2 year
launch schedule, this will occur between 1972 and
1974.
The Phase 11 satellites, larger than the Phase I
"birds," are 9 feet in diameter, 10 feet high and
weigh 900 pounds and can be used by more than
one pair of ground stations simultaneously. Also,
they will have transmitter power outputs hundreds
-f times greater than the Phase I satellites. Each
me will have an earth coverage antenna and two
etarrow-beam antennas. The earth coverage antenna
will radiate power in a wide angle beam that will
cover the entire portion of the earth visible to
it, whereas each narrow-beam antenna can be used
to "spotlight" certain areas on the earth's surface.
Within these intensified coverage areas, which re-
ceive even more power, small terminals (trucks,
jeeps, boats) can be used in place of more costly
and less flexible large ground stations. The narrow
beams can be steered in a matter of minutes to
different locations on the earth's surface, and the
satellites themselves can be moved, within a few
Gays, to new synchronous orbital positions.
This Phase II system will thus possess a com-
pletely new order of flexibility for meeting con-
tingency communications needs anywhere in the
world. Many details of the system are still under-
going final definition at this writing. These include
exact launching dates, the actual number of satel-
lites that will be required (probably 2 to 4), the
extent to which ground terminals can be reduced
in size, etc. This ambitious undertaking, however,
is progressing at. a rapid pace and hopefully will
produce a launch in raid-x971. (UNCLASSIFIED)
EAA ACTIVITIES
The newest service in the EAA area of activities
is a computerized sales facility, TICKETRON.
This unit was installed at our Ticket Sales Facility
in the EAA Office, North Cafeteria Concourse, in
October. Tickets for over 100 shows, sports, and
special events may be purchased by EAA members
for events in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New York, and Montreal.
The EAA clubs are very active at this time. The
Photo Club has announced a new and impressive
capability for their members-processing of color
film.
EAA instruction programs are likewise active
Gain this fall with the adult education field con-
tinuing to be very popular. Newest of the EAA
programs is SLIMNASTICS for women.
On the sports scene, teams are now forming for
basketball and "co-ed" volleyball.
This year our EAA store had Christmas cards,
candy, fruit cakes, and pecans for the Christ-
mas season. In other departments the new 1971
models of radios, televisions, luggage, watches,
cameras, home tools, and many other items are on
display for your shopping pleasure. The store's Spe-

WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT WILL
YOUR SECRETARY HAVE IN 1975? (!)
That got your attention didn't it! This article
could really be titled "The Ideal Secretarial Com-
posing Machine" or "The Impact of Modern Tech-
nology on Typewriter Selection." A study leading
to the decision to standardize on the IBM Selectric
attempted to analyze the various items of equip-
ment available and their present or potential appli-
cation within the Agency. It seems that for once
the preference of secretaries and the demands of
modern technology are compatible. The versatility
of the Selectric with its 60 different golf ball typing
elements may help to solve some of the frustrating
problems of the workday plus satisfy the require-
ments of the various information processing systems
in use.
The Automated Communication Terminal (ACT)
is designed to automate a major portion of the
cable handling procedures now performed manually
within the Cable Secretariat and Signal Center.
The use of an optical scanner will eliminate the
need for a person to retype outgoing cables on
paper tape which is a major bottleneck in the
"originating" cable process today.
In the Office of Computer Services an optical
scanner (CDC 915) is utilized in production. It
processes 10-50,000 documents per week for Central
Reference Service plus projects for the Office of
Personnel and other components.
ACT plus other systems using OCR will require
"cleaner" copies of correspondence since strikeovers,
erasures, etc., may cause the scanner to reject the
copy.
General Correspondence
Many of you have been faced with the situation
particularly at Office/ Directorate level where cor-
respondence reaches your desk needing minor cor-
rections and you are not able to accomplish it be-
cause your typewriter doesn't match that used in
the originating office. Well, you either have to re-
type the whole document and then find the origi-
nator to sign again or, worse, mail the uncorrected
copy back to the originator, etc. The result is often
considerable loss of time. (Your leader loves that,
I'll bet!) It is for this reason that the Selectrics will
be issued with one typing element, the Delegate 70,
which is intended for general correspondence and
microfilming needs.
Data Processing
When choosing a "secretarial composing ma-
chine," managers must also consider the various data
processing systems either in use or under develop-
ment. There are two prominent systems within the
Office of Communications and Office of Computer
Services which utilize optical scanners as the pri-
mary means of input. An optical scanner, also
known as page reader, optical character recogni-
tion OCR, "reads" words typed on paper directly
into a computer without further coding or key
punching.
Why Choose IBM?
The acceptable type styles are limited to distinc-
tive fonts which are generally termed "OCR" type
styles and which, with few exceptions, are limited
to upper case characters. Manufacturers other than
IBM make typewriters with OCR type styles, how-
ever, such machines can be used only in the single
type style installed at time of manufacture. Thus,
IBM's Selectric, thanks to its interchangeable golf
ball, is the only machine capable of performing in
a dual role. Ideally, all components in the Agency
should be able to use a single OCR type style. As
of this writing, however, it appears that because
of differences between OCS's CDC 915 scanner and
thel ordered by Office of Commu- 25X1
nications for the ACT program, two different type
styl will be required
initially. Orvi
Implementation
The Office of Logistics has taken steps to pre-
pare the increased use of OCR equipment through-
out the Agency. An initial supply of IBM Selectrics
has been procured and placed in stock. As a matter
of fact, the IBM Selectric will be the only standard
typewriter stocked. Notices are being prepared
which will outline the standardization program and
which will reinstate electric typewriters as a regu-
lated item of supply. (CONFIDENTIAL)

A Task Force was created in November 1968 to
round out the skills necessary to conduct the design
and manage the implementation of the Support
Information Processing Systems (SIPS). The Task
Force is an inter-Directorate effort combining per-
sonnel from the Management Support Division from
the Office of Computer Services, DDS&T, and
from the Information Processing Branch, Support
Services Staff, DDS. All of the Support Career
Services are represented. There are three major
systems, Materiel, Financial and Human Resources,
under concurrent development in SIPS. Part of the
effort is directed toward upgrading existing com-
puter systems and part is aimed at adding new
functions to the Directorate data processing ca-
pability.
The Materiel System consists of Requisitioning,
Supply Management, Procurement, Warehousing
and Transportation functions. As in the other two
systems, the goal for Materiel Resources is to tie
these closely related functions more securely to-
gether. A requisitioner, for example, could know
the disposition of his requisition within 72 hours
after submission. Automated stock control, auto-
mated procurement history and automated receiv-
ing reports are also goals for the Materiel System.
The Financial Resources System effort includes
a major overhaul of the Agency Payroll System,
upgrading of support to the Accounting function
and the recently completed development of auto-
mated support for budget processes. The Automated
Budget Control System represents a significant step
forward by providing meaningful support to Agency
Offices during budget preparation, adjustment and
submission.

The Manpower Control System (MCS) is the
first priority objective for the Human Resources Sys-
tem. The MCS covers 14 functions which require
integrated action or reaction on the part of the
Offices of Personnel, Medical Services, Security,
Finance, Training and other components. These
functions include, for example, Personnel Assign-
ment, Central and Emergency Locator, Central
Cover, Medical Assignability and Security Case
Control.
The computer and software systems required for
support of the functions described above are cur-
rently being specified. The General Information
Management S stem (GIMS) developed b
le is being considered as a cen-
tral so tware "supervisor" for SIPS. GIMS will ac-
cept input, edit and validate records, see that each
record is properly stored and recall records and/or
data items required for reports. It will also handle
queries from remote terminals.
A significant portion of daily Directorate business
will be conducted via remote terminals. Part of the
SIPS plan calls for establishing Data Management
Centers. These Centers have a planned capability
to conduct queries, to provide on-line file main-
tenance, to package and distribute reports and to
provide a microfilm viewing service. It is felt that
centralizing these functions will provide improved
security protection, improved access to data and
information and, in general, a better data processing
service. (CONFIDENTIAL)

that there is a-
VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE SERVICE
FOR PROSPECTIVE RETIREES
Over the past two years the Psychological Serv-
ices Staff, OMS (formerly, the Assessment and
Evaluation Staff, OMS), has been offering testing,
and follow-up discussion sessions, to Agency em-
ployees who are thinking of retiring, and who
wish to explore more fully their vocational aptitudes
and interests.
Many of those who request this service are
Agency careerists in their late forties or early fifties
who are planning to go right on working after
retirement from the Agency but who find it hard to
translate their Agency experience into non-Agency
jobs. If they believe that psychological testing could
help, they are invited to phone the Psychological
Services Staff. There is no fixed procedure, but
typically the psychologist then invites the retiree
to visit him (in the Washington area) for an ex-
ploratory discussion. This introductory discussion,
quite informal and arranged at a time mutually
convenient, gives the retiree a chance to explain
what he hopes to get from the service, and gives the
psychologist a chance to explain the kinds of service
he can offer. Usually the retiree and psychologist
also go over any testing already on file and decide
together on any additional testing. Occasionally no
further testing is considered useful. But more typi-
cally a battery of tests is agreed upon and dates

set for taking it. After the tests have been taken,
and the scoring completed, the psychologist invites
the retiree back for a review of the results and
discussion of their implications. Typically, the
process involves two or three discussions each last-
ing anywhere from one to three hours.
The tests available include a wide range of
ability, interest, and personality tests. Interest tests
are of particular value, and are included in the
battery in almost every case. Another set of tests
that is frequently used is a special set of check lists
developed by the United States Employment Serv-
ice. It is designed to help the retiree focus on the
most suitable among the thousands of different
jobs available outside the Agency. The choice of
number and type of test is left up to the retiree.
CPYRGHT
Because the purpose of the vocational counseling
service is to help the retiree to find suitable post-
Agency work, no reports of results go to Agency
management, unless with the knowledge and ap-
proval of the retiree. If he believes it would be help-
ful to him in finding employment, he may ask for an
informal summary of test results for his own use.
If he can get an official release for this purpose, the
report can be prepared on Agency letterhead.
This service is available to anyone in the Agency,
whether clerical or professional. A practical restric-
tion, however, is that such a service requires con-
sultation with a PSS psychologist. This has meant
that the service is limited to the headquarters area.
Inquiries may be made by calling the Psychological
Services Staff. (CONFIDENTIAL)

what really happened-
THE DAY THE COOLER
"BLEW ITS COOL"
the propeller hub, gear box, and motor was torn
loose from the redwood structure. The extent of
the darnage cannot be properly described but a
111'eliminary assessment indicated that the fans and
the supporting structures in the remaining three
cells had been weakened and the tower was unsafe
to operate. Within a relatively short period of time,
the roads leading to the tower had been blocked,
the debris in the surrounding area cleared by the
guard personnel, and a service crane ordered in to
remove the wrecked fan and other equipment from
the site. At approximately 4:30 in the morning the
damaged equipment was removed from the tower
and the rehabilitation begun.
b DDS/OL/LSD
At 12:24 on the morning of Monday, 27 July
1970, the Public Building Services (PBS) Control
Center located in the Headquarters Building re-
ceived an alarm indicating that the fire prevention
system in one of the cooling tower cells was badly
damaged. Prompt investigation revealed that one
of the propeller blades in the number 3 cell had
sheared off at the hub. The resulting imbalance and
vibration caused the five remaining blades to break
off and destroy the top-most part of the cell fram-
ing. In addition, the steel framework supporting

Large central air-conditioning systems depend
upon .two basic ingredients-chilled water, which
circulating through coils within a building's distri-
bution system, provides the coolant, and air handlers
(fans of varying sizes) which force air over the
chilled coils and thence through ducts and diffusers
into the areas to be cooled. Central air-conditioning
units require enormous quantities of water and to
realize maximum economy, recirculating water sys-
tems are employed. To illustrate the principle of
the recirculating system, machines appropriately
called "chillers" use a refrigerant to chill the water
which, in turn, is pumped into the coils as the
coolant. Having accomplished its mission, the water,
as it travels the return lines back to the chillers,
tends to pick up heat from the building. This excess
heat must be removed from the water before it
can be rechilled.
The device used to dissipate the heat is the cool-
ing tower. The Headquarters Building cooling
tower, located between the power plant and the
wooded hill immediately to the west of the cafe-
terias is a 4-cell unit containing four large fans.
The tower framing and supporting timbers are
fabricated of redwood. Each fan unit has six heavy
cast metal blades measuring approximately seven
feet from hub to tip, plus related universal joints,
drive shaft, motor and gear box. Each fan unit is
supported by a steel framework bolted to the red-
wood timbers.
For most people toiling in office buildings, air
conditioning is a taken-for-granted part of the rou-
tine working conditions. It exists, but unlike the
decor and the office furnishings, its qualities are
intangible; its effects unobtrusive. Air conditioning,
with its ethereal qualities providing a productive
and welcome shield against heat and humidity, is
not generally discussed or even thought about until,
as the saying goes "it becomes conspicuous by its
absence."
By 8:00 on the morning of 27 July thermometers
registered a temperature of 80?; the humidity was
an ominous 75%. At this time the Headquarters
Building was still cool and personnel reporting for
duty unaware of the problem. Air conditioning, by
its absence, was about to become conspicuous. By
noon on 27 July the temperature had reached 89?,
the humidity within the building was rising, and
air conditioning, or the lack of it, was a much dis-
cussed subject.
Meanwhile, Office of Logistics (OL) personnel
and PBS were feverishly engaged in making a de-
tailed engineering survey and assessing possible
courses of action to effect the repairs required to
place the tower back into operating condition. Be-
fore noon on the 27th, an engineering firm had
crews and equipment on site and were X-raying the
three remaining fan units to determine if there were
any flaws caused by metal fatigue or any cracks
which could have developed as a result of the num-
ber 3 unit malfunctioning. Shortly thereafter, an-
other engineering firm had crews in process of weld-
ing and strengthening the blades and propeller hubs
of the three remaining units. A replacement hub
and fan blades were located in Kansas City, Mis-
souri, and arrangements were made to have these
shipped on an expedite basis to Laurel, Maryland,
for pick up by an Agency vehicle. A source for
redwood timbers was found in Baltimore, Maryland,
and an order placed for the missing framing and
structural material. An Agency truck was scheduled
to pick up the redwood timbers from the vendor's
warehouse, and the required timbers were deliv-
ered to the Headquarters power plant by 7:30 p.m.
that day. PBS carpenters began an around-the-clock
effort to clear out the damaged timbers and to
reconstruct the wood beams in cell number 3. Si-
multaneously, carpenters reinforced the supporting
structures in the other three cells. The entire proj-
ect was constantly monitored by Logistics and PBS
engineers.
Lack of air conditioning would be a relatively
simple matter if the inconvenience were limited
solely to the question of personal discomfort. Tem-
pers might rise along with the temperature but
windows can be opened to trap an errant breeze,
and people generally find a way of "making do"
and joking about the hardships in any given situ-
ation. However, the Headquarters Building is ori-
ented towards housing both people and things. The
things being computers and associated equipment,
communication equipment and other sophisticated
machines which require precise environmental con-
ditions in order to function properly. Certain large
and elaborate computer and communications areas
within the building are provided with supplemen-
tary air-conditioning systems, and can function
under emergency conditions when the main air-
conditioning system malfunctions. There are, how-
ever, a number of smaller computer rooms which

are not afforded this backup redundancy, and there
are vault and stack areas which are intolerable to
work in without proper air circulation. Recognizing
that rooms containing heat producing equipment
and the vault and stack areas would require some
degree of supplementary air circulation, OL person-
7iel made arrangements to lease and/or buy all large
cilectric fans available on short notice. Thirty-five
rental fans were delivered to Headquarters by a
commercial vendor at 11:00 a.m. on 27 July. A sec-
ond load of 50 fans was purchased from the GSA,
and still another Agency truck was dispatched to
Baltimore to pick up these fans and deliver them
to Headquarters. An additional 35 rental fans were
delivered to Headquarters on the morning of 28
July. Priorities were quickly established to govern
the issue of the fans on a temporary loan basis. The
first priority was concerned with areas containing
computer or other heat producing equipment; the
second priority for the personnel working in vault
or stack areas; and the third, for personal comfort
reasons. By 2:00 on the afternoon of the 28th, all
fans had been received, checked, oiled, and issued.
During this air-conditioning emergency, the
weather was uncooperative. The high temperature
for Tuesday, 28 July was 90? at 4:00 in the after-
noon, the humidity index was 56%. High tempera-
tures for 29 through 31 July ranged from 89? to
91", with the humidity averaging 60%.
The all-out effort by Logistics personnel and the
FBS in-house work forces, the dove-tailing of work
performed by contractors, and the cooperation of
the various vendors involved enabled the engineers
to place one of the cooling tower fans back on-line at
11.25 on the morning of 28 July, and by 1:30 in the
afternoon on this date, two additional fans were on-
line. The effect was not felt immediately as the tem-
peratures and the humidity had been rising within
the building for 37 hours. By the morning of 29 July,
the temperature had been reduced to a comfortable
level and equipment could function properly within
the restored environmental conditions. The new
fan unit was installed by the contractors' work crews
and was in operating condition by 3:15 p.m. on Sat-
urday, 1 August. Project "Cooling Tower" had been
completed.
Every story merits an epilogue and this tale can-
not be ended without tribute to the patience and
understanding of the Agency employees working
within the Headquarters Building. Their coopera-
tion and their willingness to "bear with" a trying
situation did much to encourage those working on
the project. (ADMINISTRATIVE - INTERNAL

EXTENDED PAYMENT EDUCATION
LOAN PLAN
A Credit Plan tailored to assist our MEMBERS
with a PROGRAM of Higher education at an ap-
proved educational institution for their sons, daugh-
ters or wards ...
College costs are increasing at a rapid rate,
faster even than the cost of living. The aver-
age student pays almost $2,000 a year in fees
and living costs. The importance of higher
education is becoming more apparent each
day and is being stressed constantly by gov-
ernment and education leaders.
For these reasons your Credit Union has de-
veloped the Extended Payment Educational
Loan Plan described herein which we hope
will assist our members with credit they
might need for the most provident of pur-
poses-higher education.
The following questions and answers described
most features of the extended payment educational
loan plan:
Who is eligible for this Plan?
Any member accepting financial responsibility
for the education of a son, daughter or ward.
What do you mean by education?
An undergraduate course of study pursued in any
recognized educational institutions.
What charges and costs may be included in an ed-
ucational loan?
Tuition, books, transportation, meals, room rent,
clothing, and all other incidental and miscellaneous
costs, solely related to education. Loans for auto-
mobiles may not be included as a part of educational
loans.
What is the limit on funds I may borrow?
The plan described herein lists up to $1,000 per
semester or $8,000 for a 4 year total. It is felt that
this will cover the average situation but higher
amounts will be considered by the credit committee
where needed. Where there are two or more stu-
dents in the same family the credit committee will
also work with the member to try to cover the
needs.
What collateral will be required?
Usually the signatures of both parents, or guard-
ians, and the student will be sufficient. Under
certain circumstances, the credit committee may
require additional collateral where deemed neces-
sary. A letter or some other documentary evidence
of the student's acceptance and attendance at col-
lege will be required within thirty (30) days after
the start of the school semester.
What is the interest rate?
1/2 of 1% per month on the unpaid balance. This
is a true annual rate of 6%.
Are there any charges besides the monthly pay-
ment?
No. Monthly payments include interest and
principal.
Is prepayment permitted?
Yes. As with any credit union loan, the interest
is charged against the unpaid balance, so it is to
your advantage to repay as soon as possible. Terms
shown herein are the minimum terms and members
are urged to repay faster wherever possible.
When are funds disbursed?
Funds are disbursed to meet the tuition payment
schedule as agreed upon at the time the loan is
approved.
When are payments due?
Each month, including the months of disbursals.
What happens if the student leaves school for any
reason?
The regular payments continue as before until
all funds previously disbursed are fully repaid.
May I have an educational loan while I also have
a regular loan from the credit union?
Yes, provided the credit committee determines
that you are able to repay all of your obligations.
How do I apply?
Use the regular loan application as on all other
credit union loans. Each six months you will also
complete an abbreviated form to report current in-
formation, at the time you receive the next disburse-
ment of funds. The abbreviated form and a new
signed note is required each six months following
the original application (or each semester change
in case of tri-semester quarterly semester plans).

In the extended payment plan, loans are renewed
and disbursed each six months, after six payments
have been remitted. It will be necessary to make
a loan payment each month, including that month
in which the loan is renewed for another semester's
tuition.
To show you exactly how this Plan works, we
have selected the $300 per semester or $2,400-4
year total plan and show in the following chart
the detailed workings of such a loan. If at any
point during the period of schooling, the student
leaves school you would continue with regular
payments until the full unpaid balance at that time
was repaid.

CREDIT UNION
RETIREES CAN NOW CONTINUE
MEMBERSHIP
At this year's annual meeting, a member sug-
gested that the Board of Directors take the nec-
essary action to permit retirees to continue mem-
bership in the Credit Union. Other expressions of
interest on this were received from other Credit
Union members. As a result, the Board of Directors
reviewed its policy and adopted a resolution per-
mitting retirees to continue their membership, sub-
ject to the following provisions and limitations:
Retiree members will be permitted to participate
fully in the purchase of shares and in the distribu-
tion of income.
They will be permitted to borrow from the Credit
Union, but only to the extent that the loan request
is fully secured by shares on deposit.
As in the case of employee members, loans made
to retiree members will be covered by insurance
within the current provisions of the Credit Union's
loan insurance policy, i.e., up to $5,000 for deaths
occurring at or prior to age 65.
Retiree members must maintain a minimum share
balance of $100.
The Credit Union management welcomes all sug-
gestions from members that will improve or extend
its services to all Credit Union members.
DINING INN - THE AGENCY
In an effort to scoop Don Rosson before he writes
his critique for the Evening Star, we would like to
make a few comments of our own concerning the
latest Agency dining in establishment.
The "Rendezvous Room" located on the first
floor of the Headquarters Building was reopened
without advance fanfare on Monday, 19 October
1970, for the benefit of Agency personnel, their
guests, and, of course, properly escorted visitors.
The room's posh new mode featuring a brick red
carpet with warm fabric and paint tones is de-
signed to provide a warm and hospitable atmos-
phere for casual dining in elegant surroundings.
A luncheon buffet service featuring a zestful se-
lection of gourmet viands such as beef burgundy,
shrimp newburg, and veal morengo, coupled with
a host of appealing salads and desserts make the
all-you-can-eat $1.65 tariff the bargain of the year.
The soup de jour, fresh breads and rolls, and the
iced and hot coffee and tea beverages round out
a menu which is varied on a daily basis, with dif-
ferent selections from the steaming chafing dishes
sufficient to tempt the most wary of dieters. Why
not make a date for the Rendezvous Room .... Bon

each year, with much heraldic pomp and circum-
stance involved with notices, posters and other simi-
lar propaganda devices, Logistics representatives
launch a campaign designed to recover surplus
and/or unused Government property which em-
ployees tend to "accumulate" in the ordinary course
of business. Some of this accumulation is a result of
over-enthusiastic requisitioning from the supply
room, but most accumulations pile up simply be-
cause of the failure to turn in those items that are
no longer required. Let's face it-a great many
people are pack rats. And the desire to do right is
often overcome by the desire to covet, even if the
target of this covetousness happens to be a heap
of well-chewed-on pencil stubs.
With respect to the clean-up operation, this year
has again provided Sundry Supply Officers with a
resounding success story in that hoards of surplus
paper clips have been added to stockpiles, and a
goodly number of desks, chairs, typewriters, and
other costly items of equipment have been turned
in, thus affording a fair measure of economy for
Uncle Sam. Seriously, congratulations are due all
participants in this yearly program. So much for
blood, sweat, and PRA.
Metaphorically, "Operation Clean Up" can be ex-
panded to embrace the subject of Ecology, which
has been described as, "... the study of human
populations and of their reciprocal relations in terms
of physical environment, spatial distribution, and
cultural c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s . . . . . . . The term "Ecology"
has been given an enormous amount of coverage
by the news media these past several years in
terms of the world's population problems coupled
with the tremendous advances in technology during
recent decades. Ecology has indeed become one of
the more important topics of this era. The Louie
Aliens of the meteorological world (I refuse to refer
to them as "weathermen") regularly furnish air pol-
lution counts as a statistic on weather reports; poli-
ticians On and out of office) are constantly consid-
ering new laws to prevent industry from creating
those interesting collages of foamy greens, reds,
purples, blues, and yellows in our rivers; and the
dumping or spilling of oil in our harbors or off-
shore waters is no longer the "in" thing to do.
However, all of these major environmental problems
are gigantic in scope, and their solution will require
the expenditure of time as well as vast sums of
money, plus the whole-hearted support of our
people as a nation.
More to the point of this article, we have eco-
logical problems right within the Headquarters
Buildings that we, as employees of this Agency, can
do something about. Friends, the horrible truth is,
our House is littered. And this litter is caused by our
own thoughtlessness and disregard for ". . . the
aggregate of all external and internal conditions
effecting the existence, growth, and welfare of ..." s
our fellow human beings.
The problem of litter as created by those known
as "litterbugs" is a classic example of the type of
ecological problem we can solve simply by being
careful. And who was the sweet person who so
ihoughtfully deposited an empty coca cola can,
three paper plates and a wad of napkins under a
holly bush near the North Parking Lot one bright
sunny day about three weeks ago? It must have
been an interesting place to eat lunch since the
lowest branch of the holly bush is only eight inches
above ground level. In any event, the management
provides numerous trash receptacles and the amount
of physical labor required to convoy such litter to
the nearest receptacle is minimal.
Another charming example of the ecological
mores of the American male is one we shall entitle
"The Corridor Conference." This situation requires
three or more males standing in any corridor which
has been freshly painted speaking in hushed con-

even if it is at the expense of overrunning the

This could go on and on as there are countless
examples which could be cited to graphically un-
derscore the general thoughtlessness of people in
connection with their relationship with their en-
vironment and fellow human beings. Oddly enough,
many of those who are extremely vocal about our
major ecology problems today generously contribute
their own brand of dirt and litter to the general
confusion. As we are in an age where this massive
social problem has caused fundamental changes in
our understanding and our outlook as to our environ-
ment, we must consider that philosophically, this
problem of ecology has an important bearing upon
the fate, and in a sense, the freedom of all man-
kind. Let us each in our own small way make it
"our thing" to be thoughtful, be kind, and be clean.

PROTECT YOUR HOME
AGAINST BURGLARS
Can you really make your house or apartment
burglar-proof? Not completely. There is a wide-
spread myth that all burglars are sophisticated pro-
fessionals-they're not. Almost 50% are under the
age of 20-teenagers. Burglars are human-any-
thing that significantly slows them down, creates
noise, exposes them to observation by passing police
or neighbors and thereby increases their risk of ap-
prehension will deter all but the most determined
thief.
What simple steps can the home or apartment
dweller take to best protect himself from burglars?
For those who are pet lovers, dogs have been found
to be an excellent deterrent to burglars. High-
quality, pin-tumbler locks with flush or recessed
rings properly installed cost very little more than
inadequate locks. Cylinder locks (dead bolts with
an interior turn knob) prevent a door from being
forced. Double cylinder locks (activated with a key
from inside or outside) are the best choice if the
door or adjacent area has glass panels. Chain
latches are useful for doors not equipped with peep-
holes to permit identifying the visitor prior to
admission to the dwelling. Your local hardware
dealer can usually recommend the best lock or re-
lated hardware to suit your own particular needs.
Inexpensive locks or stops are available which
allow a window to remain open a few inches for
ventilation but prevent entry.
Sliding glass doors to your home or apartment,
particularly if accessible from ground level, may
be your residence's weakest point. Doors that slide
on an exterior track can be secured by installing a
sliding bolt on the interior bottom track. (Drill a
hole in the frame of the door to receive the bolt.)
Other types of sliding doors will be impossible to
open if a stick or broom handle is cut to length and
placed in the lower track. Special locks are also
available for these doors (again, check with your
local hardware dealer or locksmith).

Vacations and holidays, or even long weekends,
are times of special vulnerability. An article in
your local paper-"Mr. and Mrs. Jones are embark-
ing for an extended tour of exotic . . ." complete
with pictures of the going away party is an engraved
invitation for a burglar to invade your home. An
announcement of your return will serve as well.
Cancel all home deliveries of newspapers, milk,
cote. Don't leave notesl Arrange for the Post Office
to hold or forward your mail. Other material such
as throw away newspapers and circulars should be
removed daily by a neighbor or apartment manage-
tnent. If you're in a home, arrange to have your
lawn and shrubs trimmed and watered during your
absence. Closed blinds or drawn drapes present an
unoccupied appearance. Leave them in different
positions. For nighttime security near points of
entry, inexpensive low-voltage exterior lights with
timers are available. Timers may also be used to
control interior lights and radios. Turn your tele-
phone bell down to its lowest level. Ask your neigh-
bors not to inform visitors that you are away.
Notify the police of your vacation plans-dates
of absence, where and how you may be reached, the
condition of the lighting and locking arrangements
you have made, and the name and address of a
trusted neighbor or friend with whom you have
left a key.
Another dimension to this entire problem is what
to do in the event you are present at the time of
a robbery, whether in your own home or the local
Seven-Eleven Store. First, -cooperate with the
armed robber; do not try to be a hero. Do not use
or encourage the use of firearms. No amount of
money is worth the personal safety of yourself, your
family or friends. Secondly, -attempt to keep your
family or friends as calm as possible and make no
,move to aggravate the burglar. Thirdly, --observe
the criminal (s) carefully, and make mental notes
of the number of thieves, their appearance, clothing,
voice, nicknames used, personal items, identifying
marks, peculiarities, and weapons. Fourthly, -if
the opportunity presents itself, note (as the armed
robbers leave), the make, color, and type of vehicle
used. Attempt to get the license number and state
of registration. AFTER THE ROBBERY, you
should call the police immediately and then write
down your descriptions and other pertinent data,
and collate the information with any others present.
Then ascertain and record exactly what was stolen.
Do NOT touch anything the robber(s) may have
touched. Except for notifying the Security Duty
Officer (x6161), refer all questions to the police
and do not discuss the crime with outsiders until
the police give permission to do so.
The main door- the one normally used to enter
and exit the apartment, should be equipped with a
heavy duty deadlock such as the Yale Model 197.
This lock should be auxiliary to the spring latch
lock on the door. If the door has glass panels in it
or at the sides or overhead, the deadlock should
be a Yale Model 197-1/4, which has a keyway on
both sides. Also, a door chain should be installed.
This chain should be of the type that defies tam-
pering such as the LOXEM No. 1850, the IDEAL
SECURITY Model SK28, or the Yale Model
MC22-L114.
The idea is that all windows and secondary doors
are locked from the inside. Departure from the
main door would then mean that two different
locks would be used to secure the apartment. The
lock supplied with the apartment door and the
deadlock Yale 197 (197-1/4) added by the tenant.
Often the tenant has no knowledge of how many
keys exist to the apartment door, but by installing
an auxiliary lock key control can be established.
Secondary doors should be secured with a sliding
deadlatch type of lock. Secondary doors having
glass inserts should be secured with deadlatches that
can be key locked, such as the LOXEM No. 1100
safety lock-the key, of course, must not be left
in the lock. If the secondary door is a sliding door,
tiie LOXEM No. 1201 lock can be used or a
CHARLEY-BAR safety lock is also suitable.
Windows may be locked with any number of
different locks, depending on the type of window
design. However, all good, secure window locks
are the type which lock with a key and the key
must not be left in the lock. Some locks for window
security: LOXEM Sash-Loc No. 1400, IDEAL SE-
CURITY Window Lock 5K150, WINLOC, or SE-
CURITY HARDWARE MANUFACTURING COR-
PORATION Window Lock BWL 444. It must be
remembered that window locks only keep the win-
dow from being opened; they do not stop the grass
from being removed or broken and entry gained
in this manner. A securely mounted grillwork or

bars would be required to really protect windows
or large glass doors. Apartments located above
second story level, however, make window entry
difficult in that access to the window is more
difficult.
Burglarious attack is most often made at the point
of least resistance and when the attacker is least
apt to be seen, unlocked doors and windows being
the main target, particularly in unlighted, or un-
occupied areas. Always keep all doors and windows
locked when not in use. Also, it is wise to have
lights located at or near doorways making it neces-
sary for any attacker to be exposed when attempt-
ing to enter.
Key control is also important. Never leave keys
unattended. When leaving your car for repair, leave
only the ignition key, not your whole key ring con-
taining apartment keys, etc. Don't loan your keys.
Very few burglars can pick locks, rather entry is
gained with stolen keys or through unlocked doors.

UNDERSTAND THE HAZARDS
OF NUCLEAR ATTACK
When a nuclear bomb explodes, the main im-
mediate effects produced are intense light, heat,
blast, and radiation. The severity of these effects
depends upon the size and type of the weapon, how
far away the explosion is, the weather conditions
(sunny or cloudy, windy or still), the terrain (flat
or hilly), and the height of the explosion (high in
the atmosphere or near the ground).
Editor's Note
According to Readers Digest Assn., this article,
originally printed in 1936, has probably been re-
printed and quoted more than any other Readers
Digest article ever published. Though 35 years old,
the points made are still valid. To update the warn-
ings about speed, passing, and judgment, add to your
checklist of hazards, the other driver, alcohol, lack
of seat belts, road conditions, weather conditions.
heavy traffic, and fatigue.
So-if we have not frightened you into staying
home, please remember courtesy of the road is like
the golden rule; rephrased. `Do not expose others
to hazards you would not wish to be exposed to.'
Alcohol
Any discussion relating to highway traffic hazards
would be incomplete if we failed to mention that
about half of all traffic fatalities involve persons
under varying degrees of alcoholic intoxication. It
is the largest single cause of traffic deaths in the
United States. Nearly two years ago Secretary of
Transportation Volpe told the Congress that "the
use of alcohol by drivers and pedestrians leads to
some 25,000 deaths and a total of at least 800,000
crashes in the United States each year. Especially
tragic is the fact that much of the loss of life, limb,
and property damage involves completely innocent
parties." (ADMINISTRATIVE - INTERNAL USE
ONLY)
In the event of attack, the people who happened
to be close to a nuclear explosion-in the area of
heavy destruction-would probably be killed or
seriously injured by the blast, or by the heat of the
nuclear fireball. People a few miles away-in the
"fringe area"-would be endangered by the blast
and heat, and by fires that would ensue. However,
it is likely that most of the people. in the fringe
area would survive these hazards. People outside
the fringe area would not be affected at all by the
blast, heat or fire. Department of Defense studies
show that in a -nuclear attack, tens of millions of
Americans would be outside the fringe areas. To
them, radioactive fallout would be the main danger.

What Is Fallout?
When a nuclear weapon explodes near the ground,
great quantities of pulverized earth and other debris
.are sucked up into the nuclear cloud. There the
radioactive gases produced by the explosion con-
taminate the debris, producing radioactive fallout
particles. Within a short time, these particles fall
back to earth-the larger ones first, the smaller ones
later. On the way down, and after they reach the
ground, these particles give off invisible gamma
rays-like X-rays-too much of which can kill or
injure people. These particles give off much of their
radiation quickly; therefore, the first few hours or
days after an attack would be the most dangerous
period.
Explosions high in the air would create small
radioactive particles which would not have any real
effect on humans until many months or years later,
if at all, because these minute particles would drift
to earth more slowly, losing much of their radio-
activity before they reached the ground, and would
1)v spread by the upper winds over vast areas of
the world.
I n dangerously affected areas the particles would
he much larger; probably on the order of grains
of salt, or sand. However, the rays they would give
off could not be seen, tasted, smelled, or felt. Special
instruments would be required to detect these rays
and to measure their intensity.
I aalout Causes Radiation Sickness
The invisible gamma rays given oft by fallout
particles can cause radiation sickness-that is, ill-
ness caused by physical and chemical changes in the
cells of the body. If a person receives a large dose
of radiation, he will die. But if he receives only
a small or medium dose, his body will repair itself
and he will recuperate. The same dose received
over a short period of time is more damaging than
if it is received over a longer period.
No special clothing can protect people against
gamma radiation, and no special drugs or chemicals
can prevent radiation from causing damage to the
cells. However, antibiotics and other medicines
are helpful in treating infections that sometimes fol-
low excessive exposure to radiation.
Almost all of the radiation that people would
absorb from fallout would come from particles
outside their own bodies. Only simple precautions
would be necessary to avoid swallowing the par-
ticles, and because of their size, it would be prac-
tically impossible to inhale them.
Protection Is Possible
People can protect themselves against fallout
radiation by staying inside a fallout shelter. In most
cases, the fallout radiation level would decrease
rapidly enough to permit people to leave the shelter
within a few days. Even in communities that re-
ceived heavy accumulations of fallout particles,
people soon might be able to leave the shelter for a
ew minutes or even a few hours at a time in order
to perform emergency tasks. In fact, in most cases
is is unlikely that shelter occupancy would be re-
quired for more than a week or two.
Many Kinds of Fallout Shelters
The farther away you are from the fallout par-
ticles, the less radiation you will receive. Also, the
building materials (concrete, brick, lumber, etc.)
that are between you and the fallout particles serve
to absorb many of the gamma rays and keep them
Arom reaching you.
fallout shelter, therefore, does not need to be
a special type of building or an underground bunker.
can be any space, provided the wall's and roof
e thick or heavy enough to absorb many of the
guys given off by the fallout particles outside, and
thus keep dangerous amounts of radiation from
reaching the people inside the structure.
A shelter can be the basement or inner corridor
nr any large building, the basement of a private
home, a subway or tunnel, or even a backyard
ench with some kind of shielding material (heavy
lumber, earth, bricks, etc.) serving as a roof.
In addition to protecting people from fallout
radiation, most fallout shelters would provide some
protection against the blast and heat effects of
nuclear explosions that were not too close.

Food and Water Would Be Available
and Usable
From many studies, the Federal Government has
determined that enough food and water would be
available after an attack to sustain our surviving
citizens. However, temporary food shortages might
occur in some areas, until food was shipped there
from other areas.
Most of the Nation's remaining food supplies
would be usable after an attack because radiation
passes through food and does not contaminate it.
The only danger would be the actual swallowing of
fallout particles that happened to be on the food
itself (or on the can or package containing the
food), and these could be wiped or washed off.
Water systems might be affected somewhat by
radioactive fallout but the risk would be small,
especially if a few simple precautions were taken.
Water stored in covered containers and water in
covered wells would not be contaminated after an
attack because the fallout particles could not get
into the water. In fact, it is highly unlikely that
fallout particles could get into uncovered containers
that are kept indoors (sinks, bathtubs, buckets, etc.).
Practically all of the particles that dropped into
open reservoirs, lakes and streams (or into open
containers or wells) would settle to the bottom.
Any that did not would be removed when the water
was filtered before being pumped to consumers.
A small amount of radioactive material might
dissolve in the water, but at most this would be of
concern for only a few weeks.
Milk contamination from fallout is not expected
to be a serious problem. If cows swallow fallout
particles, their milk might be harmful to the thyroid
glands of infants and small children but not to
others. If possible, small children and infants should
be given canned or powdered milk for a few weeks.
People suffering from extreme hunger or thirst
should not be denied food or water, even if the
only available supplies might be contaminated.
Summary
While there are real and severe hazards con-
comitant with a nuclear attack, recent studies indi-
cate that the majority of our population could sur-
vive through understanding the "nature of the
beast" and by applying an abundance of common
sense. (UNCLASSIFIED)

`.-E PAY WINDOW
YOU HAVE BEEN OVERPAID
Public Law 90-616, approved 21 October 1968,
piovides authority for waiver of claim against Fed-
eral employees for erroneous overpayments of pay.
Tice law is applicable to overpayments of pay which
occurred on or after 1 July 1960.
Within the Agency this law is implemented by
au Overpayment Review Committee which has rep-
resentation from the Office of Finance, the Audit
Staff, the Office of General Counsel and the Office
oi' Personnel. After thorough review and investiga-
tion the recommendations of the Committee are
forwarded for approval of the Director of Finance
or the Deputy Director for Support, depending
upon the amount of the claim.
to deciding whether to grant or deny a waiver of
claim, the Committee has to first determine that
the overpayment was caused by an administrative
error. If there is no administrative error, there is
au basis for waiving a claim.
if it is determined that there was an administra-
tive error, an additional factor for consideration
is whether the employee knew about the error
within a reasonable time. If an employee was aware
of the error within a reasonable time, the request
for waiver of the claim must be denied. However,
if an employee denies knowledge of overpayment,
there is still a further consideration, and that is
whether the employee could reasonably have been
expected to be aware that he was being overpaid.
This is most often a subjective judgment which is
difficult to determine and the materiality of the
error tends to be a deciding factor. If an employee
is overpaid in an amount that would be difficult
for a reasonable person to overlook, his request
for waiver of claim must be denied. If, on the other
hand, the amount of overpayment per pay period
is insignificant (even though it may extend over a
long period of time and amount to a substantial
figure in, total) the employee may be granted a
waiver of the claim against him.
The Comptroller General of the United States,
by the opinions which he has written in similar
cases, has established the criteria which the Com-
mittee follows. In addition to the criteria previously
mentioned, one of the most important is that an
employee who receives a detailed earnings slip is

 Approved For Release 2006/08/30: CIA-RDP84-0078OR005200200025-8
SECRET
responsible for a thorough examination of that
earnings slip to determine that he is being paid
correctly. Many employees do not fulfill their
responsibility in this regard.
It is suggested that an employee who has been
asked to refund an overpayment of pay apply the
criteria cited above to the circumstances of his over-
payment prior to submission of his request for a
waiver of claim. (SECRET)
Retirement Credit for Unused Sick Leave
Public Law 91-93, 20 October 1969, provided
for the granting of credit for employees' unused
sick leave at the time of retirement or death toward
the calculation of retirement or survivor annuities.
(The days of unused sick leave are used only in
counting the number of years and months of service
for annuity compensation purposes; they cannot be
used in computing the high-3 average salary or
for the purpose of meeting the minimum length of
service required for retirement eligibility.) In this
connection, any employee may, if he wishes, elect
to have annual leave charged in lieu of sick leave
for periods of absence due to sickness.
An approved absence otherwise chargeable to
sick leave may be charged to annual leave if re-
quested by the employee prior to the time he initials
his T&A report for sick leave or would otherwise
sign an SF 71, as applicable. Annual leave may not
be substituted retroactively for sick leave previously
signed for by the employee except for the liquida-
tion of advanced sick leave, and even then only
when the substitution is made prior to the time the
annual leave would otherwise have been forfeited.
Keep Your Home State Taxes in Order!
In addition to the previous agreements established
between the. Internal Revenue Service and the
various states, the Federal Government has estab-
lished a supplemental procedure whereby Internal
Revenue Service can provide computerized tax
data to state and local tax authorities on about
six (6) million Federal employees-THAT'S YOU!
Basic data passed will consist of employee's name,
address, and taxable earnings.
Another area being reviewed is ways to increase
the reciprocal flow of information about audits
conducted by the states. Right now New York,
Wisconsin, and Oregon provide I.R.S. with the
greatest amount of information.
Federal Income Tax - 1970

tax surcharge is gone, as a withholding anyway.
But, don't forget to add an additional .025 tax on

taxpayer can avail himself of the income averaging
provisions if his excess income in the current year-
the computation year-is over $3,000 more than
120% of his average income for the four prior
years. Capital gains, gambling income, and income
from gifts, bequests, devises or inheritances are
now included in your computation of taxable in-
come . . . The rate an individual can, generally,
deduct from his adjusted gross income for gifts of

Looking Ahead - 1971
Social Security withholdings are going up. The
rate will be 5.2% of the first $7,800, and it could
go higher. Congress is working on it . . . Federal
Income Tax changes-Standard deduction from
10% to 13% but not more than $1,500-Exemption

the case in prior years-Capital gains and losses
may be used in the computation of income averag-

A look at
LEGISLATION
Federal Pay Comparability
Although further consideration is scheduled this
year, there is little likelihood for passage of Federal
pay legislation during the lame duck session of the
91st Congress.
The Administration submitted a legislative pro-
posal to the Congress July 23rd that would permit
the President to adjust the salaries of classified
is ederal employees and to establish an advisory
committee on Federal salaries. This bill differs from
one introduced by Representative Morris K. Udall
(D., Ariz.), Chairman of the responsible House of
Representatives subcommittee, in the application
of the pay comparability principal established by
the Salary Reform Act of 1962.
Under the Administration's pay comparability
plan the President by executive action would make
adjustments based on three factors:
Private industry salary levels compiled by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Consultation by the employee organizations,
the Office of Management and Budget, and
the Civil Service Commission.
Recommendations of an impartial three-
member committee of non-Government ad-
visors.
Under this plan, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
survey, beginning in 1972, would be conducted in
the spring and pay scale adjustments would be
made by the President and reported to Congress
by October 1 each year, thus reducing the time
lag between the private industry survey and
Federal salary adjustments to six months.
The Udall plan calls for a five-member committee
composed of three management and two Govern-
ment union officials to recommend annual pay
adjustments to the President. In addition, under
the Udall bill the President would be required
to submit pay adjustment proposals to Congress
for approval by February 1st each year. The
Congress would then have 60 days to consider the
President's recommendations. If approved, the pay
hike would be made retroactive to January 1st.
The House Post Office and Civil Service Sub-
committee on Compensation, chaired by Represent-
ative Udall. held hearings on these bills during
the last week in July. Further consideration by the
Subcommittee is planned when Congress returns
after the November election.
Organization Retirement System
Draft legislation updating the Organization's re-
tirement system has been forwarded to the Con-
gress. There is some expectation that action may
be taken on the measure before the end of the
year.
The bill would raise the ceiling on the number
of persons that could retire under the system during
the current five-year period; it would authorize
transfer of Government contributions along with in-
dividual contributions where an individual trans-
fers into or out of the system; it adopts a more
liberal formula for retention of salary for annuitants
re-employed in a Government position; it conforms
child survivor provisions to changes approved by

the Congress for Government-wide civil service;
and makes several technical adjustments in the
system. The greatest portion of the proposed bill
was passed by the House of Representatives in the
89th Congress but was not acted upon in the Senate
at that time.
Service Life Insurance Covers Reservists
Effective 25 June 1970, all members of Reserve
Components and ROTC cadets performing more
than 30 days of active duty are covered by Service-
mens Group Life Insurance under the provisions
of Public Law 91-291.
Increase in Government Contribution to the
Cost of Health Benefits Insurance
Public Law 91-418, approved 25 September 1970,
increased the Government share of Federal Em-
ployees Health Insurance premiums from 23 per-
cent to an approximate 40 percent. The change
is effective January 1, 1971.
Guards on U.S. Aircraft
President Nixon asked Congress on September
14th for $28 million (by amendment to the 1971
Department of Transportation budget request) to
recruit and train 2,500 security guards to ride com-
mercial aircraft.
The first stages of the Administration's crackdown
on air highjacking began on September 12th when
armed guards took seats on international and some
domestic flights. The initial force of men was drawn
from the armed forces and the Secret Service. This
will be replaced by a permanent force.
The House of Representatives approved the
armed guards tax bill on 30 September and au-
thorized an increase in domestic air travel taxes
to 8.5 percent from 8 percent and an increase in
U.S.-based foreign travel taxes to $5.00 from $3.00
per person. The bill will provide an estimated
revenue of $57 million for inclusion in the airport
and airway trust fund from which the guards will
be paid. As passed by the House of Representatives
the tax would be effective between 31 October
1970 and 1 June 1972. Final action on the measure
is expected when the Congress reconvenes after
the November elections.
Coverage under the bill is effective only during
that part of the day during which Inactive Duty
for Training is performed and while proceeding
to and from such training; during active duty for
training of 30 days or less (and annual training)
and while proceeding directly to and from the place
where training is performed. The cost of the maxi-
mum coverage of $15,000 for members of Reserve
Components is $1.80 for the entire fiscal year. The
cost is deducted automatically from the individual's
first paycheck after 1 July of each year.
The $15,000 coverage is automatic unless the
member elects otherwise. He may decline the in-
surance altogether; he may elect coverage of $10,000
for $1.20; or he may choose $5,000 coverage for
$0.60 a year.
PINTO, GREMLIN, VW, AND VEGA
Which is the best? You'll not catch us commit-
ting ourselves on that subject) But, we feel that
YOU NEED TO KNOW the facts concerning each
before you can properly determine which, if any,
of them is the right car for you.
Both Ford and Chevrolet are quite frank in stat-
ing that they are out to combat the foreign import
cars and specifically Volkswagen.
Volkswagen has countered the moves by prepar-
ing a "stripped-down" version of the famous "Bug"
to be called the Model 1111 which will have a
Washington on-the-floor price of $1,916. They are
expected to use the 1111 model for price-quoting
but will be pushing the "Super-Bug" which is
equipped with a new front suspension system and
comes with automatic transmission.

Both Pinto and Vega are stressing quality and
easy maintenance with do-it-yourself manuals and
kits available for tune-ups, bulb and fuse replace-
ii ents, and even replacing your grill on a Pinto.
Ford and GM also are stressing the no appear-
ance change. Vega states "If you like the 1971
Vega, you'll like the 1975 Vega."
The Gremlin was the first of the U.S. compacts
on the scene and offers the greatest horsepower.
It also is the heaviest of the four weighing in at
2,635 pounds.
All of VW's competitive U.S. products are longer
overall, wider and lower than the Bug. They also
have wider wheelbases (track), outweigh the Ger-
nan import anu have greater horsepower.
Gas mileage varies from 23 miles per gallon
(mpg) for the Gremlin to 26 mpg for the VW.
These are manufacturers quotes for standard en-
gines at "cruising speed." All four of the little cars
are designed to run on regular gas.

and more a requirement for overseas assignments.
The "word" is "voluntary training will enhance a
candidate's possibilities for consideration."
Installed property can now be dropped from ac-
countability if it is a permanent installation or if
r+'mnoval is too costly. A new paragraph authorizing
such action was added to the Logistics regulation
on termination of accountability in August. Real
property records must be adjusted to reflect such
transactions.
The paperwork dragon is not dead but has suf-
fered another grievous wound.
As of 1 July, the expendable item criteria was
raised from $50 to $200 thereby reducing the num-
ber of line items for which formal financial ac-
countability must he maintained.
ft is estimated that Type III installations will
be able to "drop" accountability on 60 to 65 percent
of the line items while Type I and Type II will
be cut by 50 percent.
A word of caution: Certain items are not included
in the new criteria and all installation property
officers are cautioned to check the rules! Remember,
although you may not be financially accountable,
you are still responsible for the U.S. Government
property entrusted to your care. (SECRET)
