an emergency. The list identifies items to which major attention should be given in all phases of preattack planning to insure the availability of basic essentials for a produtive economy in the event of a nuclear attack. Supply-requirements studies and assessments for these items will be made to disclose critical deficiencies or other problems that can be anticipated. Revisions will be made as necessary to keep the items as up-to-date as possible. The items are arranged by seven major groups: (1) Health Supplies and Equipment, (3) Body Protection and Household Operations, (4) Electric Power and Fuels, (5) Sanitation and Water Supply, (6) Emergency Housing and Construction Materials and Equipment, and (7) General Use Items. Survival items are defined as "those items without which large segments of the population would die or have their health so seriously impaired as to render them both burdensome and non-productive." The items have been classified into Group A or Group B, with Group A representing end products consumed or used directly by the population, and Group B consisting of those items essential to the effective production and utilization of the Group A items, which are consumed or used directly by the people. There are no Group B items in the categories of Health Supplies and Equipment, Body Production and Household Operations, and Emergency Housing and Construction Materials and Equipment. All of these items are considered to be consumed directly and any attempt to separate them in to A and B groupings would be too arbitrary to be meaningful. It is important to keep in mind the fact that while the items listed are the basic essentials necessary for maintaining a viable economy during the first six months following an attack, not all of them would create problems that would require government action preattack to insure adequate supplies. The aforementioned supply-requirements studies will be undertaken to identify the problem areas. In developing supply data, all available production capacity, existing inventories, and possible substitutions will be considered. For example, in analyzing clothing items, all available supplies would be considered from sport to dress shirts, from overalls to dress suits. However, new production would be limited to the simplest form of the basic item which can be produced. The final determination as to which of the items are most critical and which may require preattack actions by the Government, as well as the type of actions which must be taken, can be made only after a comprehensive supply-requirements analysis is completed.

[29 F.R. 15124, Nov. 10, 1964] DMO 8505.1-NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY GOVERNING SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING MANPOWER 1. Purpose. This Order provides current policy on the training and utilization of scientific and engineering manpower as its affects the national security. 2. Cancellation. This Order supersedes Defense Manpower Policy 8 issued on September 8, 1952 (17 F.R. 8070), by the Office of Defense Mobilization. 3. Background. The essential role of scientific and engineering manpower in any period of national emergency is well recognized. While the quantity and quality of scientific and engineering manpower are materially influenced by Government action, the development and use of such manpower are greatly dependent upon policies and actions of the private sector. Since the issuance of Defense Manpower Policy 8, many steps have been taken by the Government and the private sector to assure the adequacy of scientific and engineering manpower for total national security. This statement of current Government policy is intended to continue the constructive policies and actions already in being and to assure the adequacy of this important national resource during a major emergency. 4. Policy. It is the policy of the Federal Government to project the Nation's scientific and engineering manpower requirements sufficiently into the future to permit long-range planning; to relate those requirements to other resource requirements, including requirements for other manpower skills; to relate peacetime and emergency requirements; and to cooperate with educators, industry, professional societies, and employee associations to: a. Support training and education programs which enhance our national security through the development of defense related skills. b. Stimulate individuals with scientific and technical aptitudes to attain the highest level of formal education in science and technology for which they are capable. c. Stress basic principles and fundamentals of science and technology in educational curricula. d. Offer significant on-the-job training which will broaden the experience and capabilities of individual scientists and engineers. e. Provide realistic retraining opportunities which will assist in updating the knowledge and skills of scientists and engineers. f. Broaden the selection base in order to assure entry of all qualified individuals, including women and members of minority groups, into scientific and technical positions. g. Encourage continued employment of senior scientists and engineers who are yet capable of efficient performance, even though the retention of such personnel may be only on a part-time basis h. For maximum security explore and, where appropriate, adopt the principle of decentralized scientific and technical operations. 5. Action. Consistent with the policies contained herein, each department and agency of the Federal Government should (a) review its current manpower policies and update its policies and programs for scientific and engineering manpower to assure their maximum contribution to national security and emergency preparedness, (b) base its policies and actions on projected peacetime and emergency requirements, and (c) encourage and support private sector efforts to assure the fulfillment of future requirements for this critical manpower resource. [30 F.R. 11516, Sept. 9, 1965] DMO 8540.1-HEALTH MANPOWER OCCUPATIONS 1. Purpose and authority. This Order issues the List of Health Manpower Occupations in accordance with the authority contained in Executive Order No. 11001, dated February 16, 1962 (27 F.R. 1534), which assigns to the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, emergency preparedness functions to include development of preparedness programs covering civilian health manpower. It provides further for the issuance of the List of Health Manpower Occupations by the Director of the Office of Emergency Planning after agreement by the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. 2. Definitions. Executive Order No. 11001 defines health manpower as "physicians (including osteopaths), dentists, sanitary engineers, registered professional nurses; and such other occupations as may be included in the List of Health Manpower Occupations." 3. Responsibilities. Executive Orders No. 11000 and No. 11001 assign civilian manpower mobilization planning responsibilities to the Department of Labor and civilian health manpower mobilization planning responsibilities to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, therefore, and appropriate State and local health officials have the primary responsibility for planning the organization, training, and utilization of civilian health manpower. The facilities of the Department of Labor and its affiliated State employment agencies will be utilized in carrying out the health program (e.g., recruitment, referral, and other manpower measures). The skills identified in the attached List of Health Manpower Occupations are those which will be immediately required for the provision of essential emergency public health and medical services. Persons possessing the listed skills and allocated by appropriate officials to meet nonmilitary requirements will be made available to health services. However, as health hazards are brought under control and medical care loads permit, health officials will release for utilization in other essential activities the health manpower that is no longer critically needed. Following, the postattack period, during which survival of the population is the pre-eminent consideration, Federal health and manpower officials will review the List and make recommendations to the Director of the Office of Emergency Planning for appropriate revisions. Supporting manpower, integral to health operations, e.g., hospital, sanitation, and laboratory helpers, and engineering, clerical, food service and custodial personnel, is not listed. Such civilian manpower employed at the time of attack by a medical facility or laboratory, or governmental health agency, will, if not ordered to military service, remain with the employing organization. All others will be provided according to pri |
