Construction-(a) Construction of new housing. The construction of 12,500 public quarters is proposed in furtherance of the continuing effort to provide adequate family housing for eligible personnel. These units are distributed by Service as follows: Army-2,470; Navy and Marine Corps-5,040; and Air Force 4,990. (b) Acquisition of Wherry housing. Completion of the program to acquire Wherry housing is planned with the acquisition of 1,615 units in 1965, estimated at $2.7 million, for a total of 79,754 units; accordingly no funds for acquisition are required in 1966. Personnel Summary (c) Construction improvements. As part of the program to provide adequate family housing for eligible personnel, $19.4 million is requested to correct deficiencies in existing 31.0 Equipment family housing facilities. (d) Planning.-Costs incurred for planning of projects which may not go forward to completion because of changing requirements are estimated at $1 million for 1966. Planning funds for projects which do go forward to completion are included in the new construction and construction improvements budget subactivities. 99.0 (e) Rental guarantee payments.-The last of the rental guarantee agreements entered into under the original Total number of permanent positions authority (66 Stat. 622) expired in 1965; accordingly, no funds are required in 1966. It is not expected that rental guarantee agreements to be entered into under the new authority (77 Stat. 326) will produce housing for beneficial occupancy until 1967. 2. Operation, maintenance, and debt payment. (a) Operation.-$171.4 million is required in 1966 for the operation of an estimated 378,550 family housing units (including leased units); $21.5 million is required in 1966 to lease 10,351 units in both the United States and in foreign countries as part of the program to provide adequate family housing for eligible personnel. (b) Maintenance of real property.-The cost of maintenance and repair of the 1966 family housing inventory is estimated at $134.4 million. Minor alterations, up to $50 per unit, are funded in this subactivity. (c) Debt payment. A total of $161.2 million is required in 1966 to reduce the indebtedness assumed to acquire Capehart, Wherry, and surplus commodity housing and for related expenses as follows (in millions of dollars): Other Full-time equivalent of other positions. Average salary of ungraded positions.

The authority (66 Stat. 622) under which these agreements were consummated expired on June 30, 1963. As shown in the schedule, the last of these agreements terminated during 1965 (actually on September 1, 1964). Of the $3.2 million payment made in 1964 to honor guarantees which became due and payable, $2.1 million was required to terminate the agreement (due to expire on April 1, 1967) with the sponsor of 700 units in Morocco which were no longer required when the U.S. Air Force installations in that country were vacated. The bulk of the remaining $1.1 million payment in 1964 was required to meet the guaranteed rentals on the Moroccan units which became due and payable prior to the termination of the guarantee agreement. The balance of the 1964 payment and all of the 1965 payment is for guarantees on housing in France not fully occupied due to personnel redeployments. The Military Construction Authorization Act, 1964, authorizes (77 Stat. 326) Defense to enter into new rental guarantee agreements in 1964 and 1965 for not more than 5,000 units. No such agreement may guarantee payment of more than 97% of the anticipated rentals, nor may any guarantee extend for a period exceeding 10 years, nor may the average rental on any project exceed $150 per unit per month including the cost of operation and maintenance. The following schedule does not reflect any contingent liabilities arising from the new rental guarantee program since it is not expected that any For expenses, not otherwise provided for, necessary for carrying out civil defense activities, including the hire of motor vehicles; and financial contributions to the States for civil defense purposes, as authorized by law, [$75,000,000] $79,200,000, of which not to exceed [$16,000,000 $18,500,000 shall be available for allocation under section 205 of the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950, as amended, and not to exceed $14,500,000 shall be available for management expenses for civil defense including not to exceed 1,000 positions] (50 U.S.C.

Program and Financing (in thousands of dollars) -53,263 -54,248 -58,448 -2,007 51,993 74,000 75,000 This appropriation provides for the day-to-day operation and activities of the Office of Civil Defense in carrying out the civil defense mission assigned to the Secretary of Defense by Executive Order No. 10952 in 1961 and reassigned to the Secretary of the Army on April 1, 1964. The major program costs for development and execution of a nationwide fallout shelter program are included under the Shelter, construction and research and development account. 1. Warning and detection. This program provides for an outdoor warning system for the Washington, DC., metropolitan area; fallout protection for warning points under National Warning System; studies and surveys on a nationwide indoor warning system to alert the population of attack or impending natural disaster emergencies; the procurement of instruments for detection, evaluation, and dissemination of radiological fallout hazard data during an emergency; and the warehousing and maintenance of radiological instruments and engineering equipment. In 1966, the existing outdoor warning system for the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area will continue to be maintained. The program initiated in 1964 of 8.000 providing fallout protection to warning points to assure their capability for emergency operations will be con tinued, adding protection to 228 points for a total of 483 protected points at end 1966. Additional radiological defense equipment to measure cumulative radiation doses 1966 estimate 26,100 79,200 ען will be procured for issuance to emergency civil defense workers at the local level. A Federal warehouse system for the receipt, storage, maintenance, and issue of radiological instruments and engineering equipment will be continued. Use of the unique competence of the Army National Guard to provide an onsite inspection, maintenance, and calibration system for radiological instruments issued to States and localities will be expanded to a total of 25 States. 2. Emergency operations.-This provides for the development of a high degree of readiness for civil defense emergency operations. This includes (a) protection of radio facilities disseminating emergency instructions and public information; (b) a damage assessment capability for preattack planning and postattack operations; (c) an education and training program stressing community and individual protective measures, shelter analysis, and protective construction; (d) development of civil defense doctrine, systems and techniques for the orderly and rapid increase of civil defense readiness of State and local governments in periods of emergencies; and (e) development of general and technical materials for use by public information media, principally at the local level. Continued emphasis will be placed in 1966 on training for shelter management and radiological monitoring to increase the effectiveness of community shelter areas located in prior years. Prototype studies of specific systems and areas were initiated in 1964 for the development of civil defense doctrine, systems, and techniques drawing together all operational concepts and requirements for supporting systems needed to realize the maximum life-saving potential of fallout shelters. During 1965 the results of these studies will be available and it is planned in 1966 to expand the scope and geographic applicability of this program in the furtherance of the civil defense readiness position throughout the nation. 3. Financial assistance to States.-This activity provides financial assistance to States for procurement of survival supplies, equipment, and training; construction of protected emergency operating centers for State and local governments; and personnel and administrative expenses necessary to maintain civil defense capability at all governmental levels. Expansion of this assistance is essential to enable the States and local governments to perform the necessary planning and operations to utilize the shelter space available and to provide for additional political subdivisions entering the program. 4. Management. Provides for the administrative expenses of the Office of Civil Defense staff; i.e., salaries, travel, and supporting costs for management and administration of the national civil defense program.

Shelters. The 1966 program proposes several activ- | ities oriented to increasing the national inventory of fallout shelter space. In lieu of requesting authorization and funds for obtaining fallout shelter through building modifications or new construction, emphasis is being given to reducing the long term gross requirements for such high cost shelter by several new approaches designed to exploit all the protection available in existing structures. The National Survey started in 1962 will be continued to pick up the inherent shelter space in new construction projects as they are completed and will be expanded to locate and use the available shelter in homes and other small structures not previously covered in the National Survey due to their size. Procurement of low cost, portable ventilating kits is proposed for placement in existing shelter areas to permit their emergency use up to the full rated capacity. Architect-engineer advisory services will be expanded to exploit recent technological developments in protective design criteria which indicates that shelter can be obtained at little or no additional cost in many cases by minor adaptations of designs to enhance the inherent shelter capacity before construction is initiated. These new techniques will be widely disseminated to the architecture and engineering profession to promote incorporation of shelter in everyday design work. Technical assistance will be given so that shelter concepts can be included as an integral part of the structure during the design process on new buildings. The 1966 program |
