  • ADC and Antibomber Defense, 1946-1972
    Obtained and posted by AltGov2: www.altgov2.org ADC HISTORICAL STUDY NO. 39 THE AEROSPACE DEFENSE COMMAND AND ANTIBOMBER DEFENSE 194& -1972 ADCHO 73-8-17 FOREWORD" The resources made available to the Aerospace Defense Command (and the predecessor Air Defense Command) for defense against the manned bomber have ebbed and flowed with changes in national military policy. It is often difficult to outline the shape of national policy, however, in a dynamic society like that of the United States. Who makes national policy? Nobody, really. The armed forces make recommenda­ tions, but these are rarely accepted, in total, by the political administration that makes the final pbrposals to Congress. The changes introduced at the top executive level are variously motivated. The world political climate must be considered, as must various political realities within the country. Cost is always a factor and a determination must be made as to the allocation of funds for defense as opposed to allocations to other government concerns. The personalities, prejudices and predilections of the men who occupy high political office invariably affect proposals to Congress. The disposition of these proposals, of course, is in the hands of Congress. While the executive branch of the government is pushect' and pulled in various directions, Congress is probably subject to heavier pressures. Here, again, the nature of the men who occupy responsible positions within the Congress often affect the decisions of Congress. ·National policy, then, is the product of many minds and is shaped by many diverse interests. The present work is a recapitulation and summarization of three earlier monographs on this subject covering the periods 1946-1950 (ADC Historical Study No.

Gantz, Ph.D. ii Dedication For Baby Ike. iii Acknowledgements Writing my thesis with an adorable, screaming newborn has indebted me to numerous people. I need to thank my partner, Curt Scranton, for watching Baby Ike for hours on end and for giving a graduate student the best Valentine’s Day present possible—a trip to the Truman and Eisenhower libraries. He has been a sounding board for my many ideas, some good and some very bad, and has heard the “t word” more times than any partner should. I am grateful to my ever-inquisitive stepdaughter, Adelai, and am proud to become what she calls a “master.” Several friends deserve a round of applause and drinks for the many hours they babysat and listened to the trials of graduate school; they include Christine Greene, Jen Greene, Kendra Clauser, Steph Loyda, Jordan Scranton, Kristin Scranton and Rhona Stephanidis. I am thankful to my parents for their endless hours of babysitting, printer usage and relentless encouragement. To my brother, Michael Poletika, thank you for trudging through graduate school with me.

Records indicate that approximately 10 men worked with beryllium at this location in 1947. Information about AC Spark Plug is found in health hazard surveys, shipping reports and in a MED history. The company continued to receive hundreds of pounds of beryllium for use under government contract into the 1960's. It is possible that some or all of this beryllium was being used for other, non-AEC projects. There was also a small amount of thorium procurement related to AC Spark Plug in the 1946-1947 timeframe. During the period of residual contamination, as designated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and as noted in the dates above, employees of subsequent owners and operators of this facility are also covered under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act. 3 - Accurate Machine & Tool Also Known As: Accurate Machine & Tool State: New Mexico Location: Albuquerque Time Period: 1987-2002 Facility Type: Beryllium Vendor Facility Description: Accurate Machine & Tool provides machine shop services to Sandia National Laboratory, California.
