Fraser Congressman 5th District Minnesota 432 House Office Building Washington, D, C, 20515 Dear Donald° I have just been informed that the OCD budget for FY 1972 will be coming before the newly named Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee, namely the Subcommittee on Treasury, Post Office and General Government under the Chairmanship of Congressman Tom Steed of Oklahoma The Administration budget request for FY 1972 will be for $77.7M as compared to $72.9M for 1971, If approved as requested, this would appear to be a reasonable increase in appropriations, However, unfortunately, the budget item " Financial Assistance to States" which is of direct concern to us in State and local Civil De- fense programs has been increased only $1.5M which is still inadequate for National requirements. In FY 1970 Hennepin County billed $48 in approved eligible requests but were allocated $42,219, or a shortage of $6,701:; The City of Minneapolis billed $52,192 with an allocation of $47,220, or a shortage of $4,972. This means that the combined operation was short in federal funds of $11,673. The same situation exists throughout the State as well as the rest of the country. Consequently. the current budget request fails to meet on -going expenses and also it allows no room for new participants in the program. The Federal support to Civil Defense and disaster preparedness has not kept pace with the development of capabilities on the State and local levels. Not only has there been a shortage of sufficient funds to properly accomplish our task but in spite of innumerable committee and research studies, the National agency, OCD, remains as a sub - division of the Department of the Army, confined to a mission of support to only those activities related to enemy caused disaster. You have personally experienced the value of a coordinated response to disaster condi- tions by State and local Civil Defense authorities in Minnesota. Even as I write to you today, the welfare of thousands of citizens in the California earthquake area is dependent upon the effectiveness and efficiency of local disaster planning, I sincerely hope you will lend your efforts and influence to (1) adequate financial support to the local efforts and (2) to the re- organization and, if necessary, re- location of the Federal agency to effect substantial guidance and assistance to the State and local governments. Sincerely you'r. / Walter P. Halstead Walter P. Halstead, Director Hennepin County /City of Minneapolis Officesof Civil Defense (NOTE: This is an example of the kind of letter you might write) 1 '1 3524 Hennepin Avenue South Minneapolis. Minn, 55408 February 11 1971 TO: A11 Members of the U. S. Civil Defense Council Legislative Committee FROM. Walter P. Halstead, Chairman SUBJECT Legislative Bulletin #2 (1971) You will note by the attached sheet that the OCD FY 1972 Budget Request is for $77.7M. This is an increase of $4.8M over the estimated budget expenditures for FY 1971. Of particular interest to the local directors is the item identified as "Fi- nancial Assistance to States "; the request is for $24,4M of which $22.9M is earmarked for P & A Expenses. Although this represents an increase of $1.5M over last year's appropriations it still falls short of meeting current obliga- tions. In many areas of the country, the matching funds formula was reduced from 50% to 40% and in some places, even less. Also, there are many communities and some states who have been ready to establish their Civil Defense programs on a more sound basis but have not done so because of the lack of federal matching funds. Also included in the $24.4M is $1'�5M for Supplies, Education and Training. The current minimum requirement in this area is at least triple that amount. There has been a new Sub - Committee named to handle OCD and OEP, as well as other components. I am also attaching a list of the Committee members of that Sub - Committee of the House Appropriations Committee. If you are in a District represented by one of these Committee members, it is extremely important that you make him aware of our probletss.. It is imperativ=e that contact be made immediately for the Sub-Committee will be hearing the OCD budget request within the next few weeks.. Once again, let me emphasize that it is important that you relate the appropria- tions directly to the effect it has on your local program, Secondly., bring out the point wherever possible or feasible that on the local level your responsi- bility includes the coordination of community response to any type of disaster. Discuss this problem with your Mayor or County Commissioner and enlist his support in calling the attention of the Congressmen to the requirements and responsibilities of your Civil Defense and disaster preparedness program.

Dora Lucas, Secretary Brazos County Civil Defense 3524 Hennepin Avenue South Minneapolis, Minn. 55408 April 15, 1970 TO: All Members of the U. S. Civil Defense Council Legislative Committee FROM: Walter P. Halstead, Chairman SUBJECT: Legislative Bulletin #1 (1970) I am sure you are all aware of the OCD FY 1971 Budget Request in the amount of $73.8 M. Although this represents an increase of $3,866,735 over the amount granted for FY 1970, it still falls short of our total requirement to maintain a minimum program. $20.4 M for P & A represents an increase of $1 M over the current year but still will not allow for 50% matching funds in many areas, and does not provide for any additional P & A communities or increased activity. This is not a healthy condition for if our national Civil Defense program is a necessary part of our national defensive posture, normal growth and improvement must be expected and supported. From all outward signs, the OCD hearing before the House Sub - Committee was well received by the members of the Committee but no doubt will be subjected to what seems to be the traditional House cut so it becomes necessary for us to continue to call the attention of our elected representatives in Congress to our budget plight and urge support for the total request. Indications are that over the past few years we have started to develop more understanding of the requirements of the Civil Defense program among the Congressmen due to the close personal contacts that we have been making. Our major problems now seem to be with the fact that the Administration's budget requests are not adequate to begin with. In addition to the shortage of P & A required funds, the FY 1971 request for SET has been reduced by an additional $500,000 and, as most of you know, there is not enough money available at this time for current requests for essential items such as sirens. It does not make much sense to ask for less money when there already exists a rather substantial backlog of project applications that have been approved but with no funds available. The thrust, therefore, seems to be at the DOD /Department of the Army who are responsible for the reduction in the initial OCD requests ($125 M). Conse- quently, our legislative efforts for the remainder of the year should be directed as follows: -1- (1) Relating to your Congressman the effects the current shortages have on your local program; that is, no matching funds for sirens, etc., or insufficient P & A matching; and, (2) Bring to the Congressmens' attention the fact that the initial budget request falls considerably short of the total national requirements as far as state and local Civil Defense is concerned. LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE PROGRAMMING Our national Legislative Program last year was extremely successful in some instances but unfortunately, it was spotty and, in some areas, no effort at all was made to contact the Congressmen.. A Legislative Program, to be successful, should be a year around operation and not only when Congress is in session. Get to know your Congressman, familiarize him in every way pos- sible with your activities and impress him with the need for national support. Walter P Halstead, Chairman Legislative Committee, USCDC WPH:ro Attachment • • 3524 Hennepin Avenue South Minneapolis, Minn, 55408 May 7, 1970 TO: All Members of the U. S. Civil Defense Council Legislative Committee FROM: Walter P. Halstead, Chairman SUBJECT: Legislative Bulletin #2 I received information from OCD today that the House mark on the OCD budget request is as follows: REQUEST MARK Operations and Maintenance $ 50.1M $ 50M Research, Survey and Marking 23.7M 22M $ 73.8M $ 72M The P & A request of $20.4M, which is included in the Operation and Maintenance request, was increased to $21.4M by the House. This is really good news for the local director and must reflect some of the good work that has been done in the Legislative Program. $1.5M was deleted from the Experimental Fallout Shelter Program. $1. M was approved for Supplies, Equipment and Training. This will be our most diffi- cult item for it still leaves us short of our actual requirements. The Senate Hearing is scheduled for the 21st of May. I am attaching a copy of the committee line -up for the total Appropriations Committee as well as the Sub - Committee. If you have Senators from your Regions on either of these Com- mittees, I urge you to contact them through your best means and, ask them to support the House mark, but point out that $1.4 M for SET will still leave us in bad shape as far as procuring assistance for the purchase of equipment and training.

I would like to explain why many areas are locked in buildings which are designated as fallout shelters. a. The buildings designated are surveyed for radioactive protection and do not necessarily afford protecion from tornadoes - many areas may even be more dangerous than buildings not marked as public fallout shelters; as good tornado shelters are designed for structural strength and not building mass as in the case of fallout shelters. b. Buildings marked as fallout shelters are normal usage buildings that have been surveyed for fallout protection and a contract agreement entered into by this office and the building owner whereby the owner will in a National Emergency release usage of these buildings to the local government for protection of our residents. Many areas found suitable for fallout protection are offices, storerooms and basements containing supplies, and areas which the owner must keep secured. c. The Bryan - College Station area is not considered a target area in the event of a nuclear attack. This means that after a nuclear attack on this nation we would have approximately 1 - 3 hours before radiation would become a threat to our locality and we would have time to have our pre - designated shelter managers open these buildings and prepare the areas for shelter occupancy. I am very pleased that you have written me and are interested in our Civil Defense Program. Enclosed are two pamphlets which I hope will explain our local programs better than I have, and I would like for you to visit my office so that I can answer your questions more fully in regards to our program and would like to hear any suggestions you may have. Hy office is on the second floor of Goodwin Hall, Room 201. This building is adjacent to the Coke Building. Please feel free to drop in any time between 8 am to 5 pm during weekdays. I sincerely appreciate your interest in our Civil Defense Program, and I am looking forward to your coming by. Sincerely yours, Jake Canglose Meteorological Engineer JC /at Encl.
