DR. LEON GOURE HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNIZED AS
THE FOREMOST AUTHORITY ON SOVIET CIVIL
DEFENSE IN THE WESTERN WORLD AND IS THE ; AUTHOR OF "WAR SURVIVAL IN SOVIET STRATEGY. III./ MOST AMERICANS BELIEVE NUCLEAR WAR IS
UNTHINKABLE. UNFORTUNATELY, AS A RESULT,
MANY OF OUR LEADERS HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT
IT ENOUGH. THE SOVIET UNION BASES ITS
MILITARY POLICY ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT
NUCLEAR WAR IS AN EXTENSION OF CONFLICT BY
OTHER MEANS. THEY ARE PREPARING TO WIN
A NUCLEAR WAR. ONE ASPECT OF THE SOVIET
PLAN FOR NUCLEAR VICTORY IS CIVIL DEFENSE,
THE RUSSIANS UNDERSTAND THAT, WITH PROPER
PREPARATION, THEIR NATION CAN SURVIVE A
NUCLEAR WAR AND MOVE ON TO MEANINGFUL WORLD
DOMINATION THEREAFTER.
IN FACT, BECAUSE OF SpVIET MULTI_-BILLIQN
DOLLAR EXPENDITURES ON CIVIL DEFENSE, THE
SOVIETS CAN NOW CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF
A NUCLEAR CONFLICT, IN WHICH THEY WOULD
LOSE FEWER THAN TEN MILLION OF THEIR POPULATION,
AS COMPARED TO THE MORE THAN TWENTY MILLION
FATALITIES THEY SUFFERED DURING WORLD WAR II.
mSSSrn PAGE 14
BY CONTRAST, THE UNITED STATES, WHICH HAS SPENT ^N AVERAGE OF LESS THAN $100 MILLION
A YEAR ON CIVIL DEFENSE, WOULD SUFFER AS MANY AS 160 MILLION LIVES LOS"]^ IN THE
EVENT OF A NUCLEAR EXCHANGE WITH THE SOVIET
UNION.
ONE WAY TO PREVENT WAR IS TO LET YOUR LIKELY
OPPONENT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE PREPARED
TO SURVIVE AND OVERCOME IT. \iE HAVE
FAILED TO DO THIS.
AS LONG AS THE SOVIETS KNOW THAT, IN THE EVENT
OF A NUCLEAR EXCHANGE, THERE WOULD BE 15
DEAD AMERICANS FOR EVERY DEAD RUSSIAN, THEY
ARE LIKELY TO TAKE GREATER RISKS WITH THEIR
FOREIGN POLICY AND TO MORE SEVERELY CHALLENGE
THE INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES AT EVERY
KEY POINT OF INTERNATIONAL TENSION. IRONICALLY, WE/WITH MANY AUTOMOBILE!^COULD EVACUATE MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN THE RUSSIANS^ BUT IF WE CONTINUE TO NEGLECT PLANNING, MOST AMERICANS WILL DIE IN A NUCLEAR ATTACK. BEING ABLE TO SURVIVE AN ATOMIC ATTACK MAKESTHE ATTACK LESS LIKELY. IF 1VE ARE PREPARED TO EVACUATE, THE RUSSIANS COULD
NEVER USE THEIR EVACUATION FOR BLACKMAIL. w/zf PAGE 15
HERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC STEPS IVHICH T7E CAN TAKE TO STRENGTHEN OUR CIVIL DEFENSE AND PREVENT NUCLEAR WAR: 1. PROVIDE TAX INCENTIVES TO FAMILIES THAT INITIATE : FOOD STORAGE PROGRAMS. THE AVAILABILITY OF FAMILY SDPPLII OF FOOD WILL GO FAR TO INCREASE THE SURVIVABILITY
OF THE POPULATION. 2. ENCOURAGE THE USE OF ARCHITECTURE WHICH USES
BASEJ4ENT SPACE FOR SHELTER. 3. PROVIDE TAX INCENTIVES FOR VACATION HOMES WHICH CAN BE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLAN FOR EVACUATION OF CITIES AND DISPERSAL OF POPULATION. 4. PROVIDE TAX BREAKS FOR FAMILIES IVHICH DEVELOP BLAST SHELTERS. . : ' 5. FEDERAL POLICY SHOULD ENCOURAGE INDUSTRIAL
DISPERSAL. 6. HARDENING OF KEY INDUSTRIAL LOCATIONS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED ALONG WITH RESEARCH IN NEW TECHNIQUES OF
INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION. THE RUSSIANS NOW SPEND $1.2 BILLION ANNIIALI^ ON CIVIL DEFENSE. THE UNITED STATES ONLY ABOUT $100 MILLION. OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD, THE RUSSIANS HAVE SPENT MORE THAN $65 BILLION ON CIVIL DEFENSE, WHILE THE UNITED STATES HAS SPENT ONLY ABOUT $1 BILLION. THE RUSSIANS HAVE 100,000 CIVIL DEFENSE WORKERS. THEY PLACE THEIR CIVIL DEFENSE LEADERS IN THE ARMED.'FOSSES ON..'AN EQUAL FOOTING WITH THEIR ARMY, NAVY, AND AIR FORCE. PAGE 16
BY CONTRAST, THE UNITED STATES ONLY HAS
6,000 CIVIL DEFENSE WORKERS. AMERICA
SPENDS $6 BILLION ON RAPID TRANSIT.
SHOULDN'T ;VE SPEND SOMETHING ON NATIONAL
SURVIVAL? / : ^
BY SPENDING AN AVERAGE OF $2 BILLION
A YEAR OVER A FIVE YEAR PERIOD, OUR GOVERNMENT
COULD REDUCE THE NUMBER OF AMERICANS
VULNERABLE TO A SOVIET ATTACK FROM THE . ■ - -
PRESENT LEVEL OR MORE THAN 150 MILLION
TO A FIGURE IN THE RANGE OF 25 OR PERHAPS
EVEN FEWER THAN 20 MILLION
