Davis County Judge Brazos County Bryan, Texas Dear Judge Davis: Due to the increased time demands of present employ- ment, I have been unable to do as much as I should have for the County Civil Defense Program and I feel that I should be replaced by someone else, who can give more time in this work. I have sincerely enjoyed working with this program and have considered it an honor to have been appointed as County Civil De- fense Director. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Fred Sandlin, Mr. Ran Boswell, Mr. John Hill and the many other county, city officials who have given this program their fullest coopera- tion, assistance and support. I feel that the people of this county are fortunate to have a County Judge who initiated and supported a program which is so vital to the citizens of this community. I will be glad to work with whomever you appoint to fill this office if it is so desired. Thanking you for the opportunity you have given me to serve you, I remain, Respectfully yours, Jake Canglose JC /ers J4) �' adir Brazos County Civil Defense office County Courthouse.BryansTexas June 8,1964 Mr, Paul R.

Yours truly henry L.Alsmeyer Brazos County Civil Defense Administrator. 4C T., --_, f,,,,,b) EXECUTIVE 'DEPARTMENT AUSTIN 1 1, TEXAS JOHN CONNALLY May 26, 1964 GOVERNOR To: Members of State Defense Council, Mayors, County Judges, Civil Defense Directors, and Department of Public Safety Personnel The local officials of our State of Texas are to be congratulated for the excellent manner in which problems created by natural disasters have been handled. We have had our share of tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and other catastrophes and we have ably recovered from them by using the resources provided by individual enterprise, industry, and legislation. Since we are well into the current tornado season and will be into the hurricane season be- fore many weeks, it is appropriate to review the procedures outlined in the State Opera- tional Survival Plan for those who may need or desire assistance from State Agencies during periods of emergency or disaster. The Department of Public Safety is charged with the responsibility of maintaining the official communications service for disaster purposes and coordination of disaster relief activities. As you know, the State Highway Patrol has 17 Districts and Sub - Districts with a Captain in command of each District and a Lieutenant over each Sub - District. The Captain and /or Lieutenant serves as coordinator of all State disaster operations including the Office of De- fense and Disaster Relief and the National Guard. When disaster occurs, local governments first utilize their own resources. When State assistance for recovery action is needed local officials should contact the Captain or Lieu- tenant of the Department of Public Safety in their area. Delay in obtaining the needed serv- ices can result if local requests are sent directly to other state agencies or departments, without proper coordination. Local officials are authorized, under specific circumstances, to seek National Guard assistance with immediate notice to my office for official concurrence. It is essential for me to know that all available local resources have been committed, and all State Agencies with an assigned responsibility for recovery action have been utilized, before a request for the National Guard is made. By channelling such requests through the Department of Public Safety, duplication of effort can be prevented. This is intended only as a reminder of existing procedures. By following them, your State Government can better serve you. • ly, % ■,/ / 1/ i John Connally Governor JOHN M. BARRON 1 District Judge 1E O W. D. BURLEY W. C.

ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, FORT WORTH ADDRESS REPLY TO CORPS O F ENGINEERS ; - P. O. BOX 1600 100 WEST VICKERY BOULEVARD FORT WORTH. TEXAS 76101 • FORT WORTH, TEXAS / 0 ICI. IN REPLY REFER TO: SWFGD -F0 24 March 196+ Mr. Jake Canglose, Director Brazos County Civil Defense Bryan, Texas Dear Mr. Canglose: In response to the visit made to the Bryan - College Station area by Mr. T. R. Conner, the following questions have been resolved: a. Francis Hall: e capacity of the shelter area in the basement of Francis Hall isl70. This capacity was computed on the basis of 500 CF of volume per spat . It is understood that additional equipment has been installed taking up some space, but since some natural ventilation exists through windows and an interior door, the capacity was not changed. b. Hendersonall: At the present time, the sign in the basement shows a capacity ofi 1l5,spaces which is in error and should read 51 spaces. c. Plant Science Building: The supplies received for this facility are correct. The total amount of supplies is for 2252 persons. The supplies may be distributed as follows: The basement has a capacity of 386 spaces in the Protection Factor category -8 range, and the second and third floors have a capacity of 933 spaces each in the PF category -2 range. As you can see, those facilities having a PF category -2 or more are eligible for stocking as long as they meet the minimum criteria set out in the appropriate instructions. Those facilities which require reanalysis will not be done until the New Updating Program begins in July 1964. Please advise when Francis Hall is marked and the capacity changed in the basement of Henderson Hall. Sincerely yours, C /1 C. F. SWENSON Chief, Engineering Division U. S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, FORT WORTH ADDRESS REPLY TO: CORPS OF ENGINEERS P. o. BOX 1600 100 WEST VICKERY BOULEVARD FORT WORTH. TEXAS 76101 FORT WORTH. TEXAS IN REPLY REFER TO SWFGD-FO 27 February 1964 Ir. Jake Canglose, Director Brazos County Civil Defense Bryan, Texas Dear Mr. Canglose: The Updating Fallout Shelter Survey of existing, new, and demolished facilities is progressing with the splendid cooperation of private and government agencies. Work began in July 1963 and is expected to be completed in June 1964. Part of this work is being accomplished by architect - engineers under contract to the Federal Government; the rest is being accomplished by Federal Government forces. This involves a review of the window sill heights of existing buildings to determine if this height will have some effect on radiation penetrating the wall. I:: order to accomplish this, your help is requested. Inclosed are an instruction sheet and a list of buildings in your immediate area on which the window sill heights are needed. This height is defined as the distance of the window sill above the floor; for example, on the third floor, it would be necessary to measure the window sill height from the third floor to the sill where the window seats as illustrated in the inclosed sketch. You may help by making pencil entries on the inclosed list for each facility indicating the window sill height as three feet and higher or less than three feet. The inclosed self- addressed envelope may be used to return this information. Sincerely yours, 3 Inca C. F.
