Victoria Ann Toensing née Long; born October 16 1941 is an American attorney. She joined the U.S. attorney's office in Detroit where she prosecuted narcotics cases. In 1981 Toensing became chief counsel to Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence where she helped draft the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982. Adnan Awad born 1942 in Palestine was a captain in the Palestinian Liberation Army who joined the 15 May Organization and prepared to bomb the Noga Hilton hotel in Geneva Switzerland on August 31 1982 but instead fled the scene and later turned himself into the American embassy and claimed he wanted to renounce any terrorist connections. With his aid American intelligence agencies determined that it was the 15 May Organization that had constructed the bomb aboard Pan Am Flight 830. In 1991 he co-operated with author Steven Emerson who wrote about Awad's life in the book "Terrorist". Howard Safir began his law enforcement career in 1965 as a special agent assigned to the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics a forerunner of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs BNDD and eventually the Drug Enforcement Administration DEA.

General Tighe stated at this hearing that the Soviet Union had the research and development facilities and the major capital investments in production of chemical weapons and the major capital investments in the storage of chemical weapons. Harold Brown September 19 1927 - January 4 2019 was an American nuclear physicist who served as United States Secretary of Defense from 1977 to 1981. Previously he held the posts of Director of Defense Research and Engineering 1961-1965 and Secretary of the Air Force 1965-1969. Brown graduated from the Bronx High School of Science at age 15 and earned a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University at age 21. As Secretary of Defense he set the groundwork for the Camp David Accords and took part in strategic arms negotiations with the Soviet Union. Lt. Gen. Eugene Tighe Jr. 1921 - 1994 was director of the United States Defense Intelligence Agency 1977 - 1981. Chemical warfare CW involves using the toxic properties of chemical substances as weapons. This type of warfare is distinct from nuclear warfare biological warfare and radiological warfare which together make up CBRN the military acronym for nuclear biological and chemical warfare or weapons all of which are considered "weapons of mass destruction" WMDs. None of these fall under the term conventional weapons which are primarily effective due to their destructive potential. In theory with proper protective equipment training and decontamination measures the primary effects of chemical weapons can be overcome. In practice they continue to cause much suffering as most victims are defenseless. Many nations possess vast stockpiles of weaponized agents in preparation for wartime use. The threat and the perceived threat have become strategic tools in planning both measures and counter-measures. The use of chemical weapons is prohibited under customary international humanitarian law. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

Among the witnesses were: Roger Egeberg Joseph Hennessey Clarence Larson James Ramey representatives of the Federal Radiation Council and John Totter then Director of the Biomedical Division of the Atomic Energy Commission. Radiation protection also known as radiological protection is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA as "The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation and the means for achieving this". Exposure can be from a source of radiation external to the human body or due to internal irradiation caused by the ingestion of radioactive contamination. Ionizing radiation is widely used in industry and medicine and can present a significant health hazard by causing microscopic damage to living tissue. There are two main categories of ionizing radiation health effects. At high exposures it can cause "tissue" effects also called "deterministic" effects due the certainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit gray and resulting in acute radiation syndrome. For low level exposures there can be statistically elevated risks of radiation-induced cancer called "stochastic effects" due to the uncertainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit sievert. Fundamental to radiation protection is the avoidance or reduction of dose using the simple protective measures of time distance and shielding. The duration of exposure should be limited to that necessary the distance from the source of radiation should be maximized and the source shielded wherever possible. To measure personal dose uptake in occupational or emergency exposure for external radiation personal dosimeters are used and for internal dose to due to ingestion of radioactive contamination bioassay techniques are applied. For radiation protection and dosimetry assessment the International Commission on Radiation Protection ICRP and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements ICRU publish recommendations and data which is used to calculate the biological effects on the human body of certain levels of radiation and thereby advise acceptable dose uptake limits.

Additional Information. Appendix Some damp stains noted. Project Rio Blanco was an underground nuclear test that took place on May 17 1973 in Rio Blanco County Colorado approximately 36 miles 58 km northwest of Rifle. Three 33-kiloton nuclear devices were detonated nearly simultaneously in a single emplacement well at depths of 5838 6230 and 6689 feet 1779 1899 and 2039 m below ground level. The tests were conducted in fine-grain low-permeability sandstone lenses at the base of the Fort Union Formation and the upper portion of the Mesaverde Formation. This was the third and final natural-gas-reservoir stimulation test in the Plowshare program which was designed to develop peaceful uses for nuclear energy. The two previous tests were Project Gasbuggy in New Mexico and Project Rulison in Colorado. The United States Atomic Energy Commission conducted the test in partnership with CER Geonuclear Corporation and Continental Oil Company. A placard erected in 1976 now marks the site where the test was conducted. The site is accessible via a dirt road Rio Blanco County Route 29. Peaceful nuclear explosions PNEs are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes. Proposed uses include excavation for the building of canals and harbors electrical generation the use of nuclear explosions to drive spacecraft and as a form of wide-area fraking. PNEs were an area of some research from the late 1950s into the 1980s primarily in the United States and Soviet Union. In the U.S. a series of tests were carried out under Project Plowshare. Some of the ideas considered included blasting a new Panama Canal the use of underground explosions to create electricity and a variety of geological studies. The largest of the excavation tests was carried out in the Sedan nuclear test in 1962 which released large amounts of radioactive gas into the air. By the late 1960s public opposition to Plowshare was increasing and a 1970s study of the economics of the concepts suggested they had no practical use. Plowshare saw decreasing interest from the 1960s and was officially canceled in 1977. The Soviet program started a few years after the U.S. efforts and explored many of the same concepts under their Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy program. The program was more extensive eventually conducting 239 nuclear explosions. Some of these tests also released radioactivity including a significant release of plutonium into the groundwater and the polluting of an area near the Volga River. A major part of the program in the 1970s and 80s was the use of very small bombs to produce shock waves as a seismic measuring tool and as part of these experiments two bombs were successfully used to seal blown-out oil wells. The program officially ended in 1988. As part of ongoing arms control efforts both programs came to be controlled by a variety of agreements. Most notable among these is the 1976 Treaty on Underground Nuclear Explosions for Peaceful Purposes PNE Treaty. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty of 1996 prohibits all nuclear explosions regardless of whether they are for peaceful purposes or not. Since that time the topic has been raised several times often as a method of asteroid impact avoidance. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

The 1960 United States presidential election was the 44th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday November 8 1960. In a closely contested election Democrat United States Senator John F. Kennedy defeated incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon the Republican Party nominee. This was the first election in which fifty states participated and the last in which the District of Columbia did not. It was also the first election in which an incumbent president was ineligible to run for a third term because of the term limits established by the 22nd Amendment. It is also the last election where the losing candidate won Ohio. Nixon faced little opposition in the Republican race to succeed popular incumbent Dwight D. Eisenhower. Kennedy a junior U.S. Senator from Massachusetts established himself as the Democratic front-runner with his strong performance in the 1960 Democratic primaries including a key victory in West Virginia over United States Senator Hubert Humphrey. He defeated Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson on the first presidential ballot of the 1960 Democratic National Convention and asked Johnson to serve as his running mate. The issue of the Cold War dominated the election as tensions were high between the United States and the Soviet Union. Kennedy won a 303 to 219 Electoral College victory and is generally considered to have won the national popular vote by 112827 a margin of 0.17 percent though some argue that Nixon should be credited with the popular vote victory as the issue of the popular vote was complicated by the presence of several unpledged electors in the Deep South. Fourteen unpledged electors from Mississippi and Alabama cast their vote for Senator Harry F. Byrd as did a faithless elector from Oklahoma. The 1960 presidential election was the closest election since 1916 and this closeness can be explained by a number of factors. Kennedy benefited from the economic recession of 1957-58 which hurt the standing of the incumbent Republican Party and he had the advantage of 17 million more registered Democrats than Republicans. Furthermore the new votes that Kennedy the first Roman Catholic president gained among Catholics almost neutralized the new votes Nixon gained among Protestants. Kennedy's campaigning skills decisively outmatched Nixon's who wasted time and resources campaigning in all fifty states while Kennedy focused on campaigning in populous swing states. Nixon's emphasis on his experience carried little weight for most voters. Kennedy used his large well-funded campaign organization to win the nomination secure endorsements and with the aid of the big-city bosses get out the vote in the big cities. Kennedy relied on Johnson to hold the South and used television effectively. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

The Committee on Armed Services is a committee of the United States Senate empowered with legislative oversight of the nation's military including the Department of Defense military research and development nuclear energy as pertaining to national security benefits for members of the military the Selective Service System and other matters related to defense policy. The Armed Services Committee was created as a result of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 following U.S. victory in the Second World War. It merged the responsibilities of the Committee on Naval Affairs and the Committee on Military Affairs. Considered one of the most powerful Senate committees its broad mandate allowed it to report some of the most extensive and revolutionary legislation during the Cold War years including the National Security Act of 1947. This group of nominated individuals represents perhaps the finest group of civilian and military leaders in the national security community at the time!

When this hearing was held the United States had exported nuclear materials equipment and technologies to the member states of the European Atomic Energy Community known as EURATOM for more than 35 years. This cooperation had been governed by an agreement for cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy which was first concluded in 1958 and had been amended several times. An agreement was reached to replace the agreement with a new one which was approved by the General Affairs Council of the European Union and by President Clinton. The Senate hearing was to consider the content and merits of the new agreement. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

The Chairman stated that these hearings were to begin its consideration of the Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty SORT which the President submitted to the Senate on June 20 2002for its advice and consent to ratification. It was hoped that the treaty signed in May by Presidents Bush and Putin was a very important step forward in U.S>-Russian relations and toward a mores secure world. Cutting the number of each country's deployed strategic nuclear warheads from approximately 6000 to between 1700 and 2200 could move the U.S. another step away from the cold war preparations for massive nuclear exchange. The Treaty Between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Strategic Offensive Reductions SORT also known as the Treaty of Moscow was a strategic arms reduction treaty between the United States and Russia that was in force from June 2003 until February 2011 when it was superseded by the New START treaty. At the time SORT was positioned as "representing an important element of the new strategic relationship" between the two countries with both parties agreeing to limit their nuclear arsenal to between 1700 and 2200 operationally deployed warheads each. It was signed in Moscow on 24 May 2002. After ratification by the U.S. Senate and the State Duma SORT came into force on 1 June 2003. It would have expired on 31 December 2012 if not superseded by New START. Either party could have withdrawn from the treaty upon giving three months written notice to the other. U. S.

Little Senator Floyd Haskell Ira Hendrick Grumman Aerospace and Senator John Sparkman The Solar Power Satellite Research Development and Demonstration Program Act of 1978 would establish a program in the Department of Energy DOE to pursue research development and demonstration of solar power satellites SPS as a major source of energy. Enacting legislation for such a program at this time with the expectation of demonstrating such systems in the near future is premature. Technical environmental economic and institutional issues surrounding SPS systems have not been adequately investigated and supporting technologies such as the space shuttle and photovoltaic energy systems are years away from being useful in deploying SPS systems. Under existing legislation the DOE has initiated a SPS Concept Development and Evaluation Program to formulate a better understanding of the SPS concept. This program was begun in fiscal year 1977 and about $7.6 million has been obligated for carrying out the program through 1978. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

The hearing examined how the Immigration and Naturalization Service INS processes persons arrested for illegal entry into the United States outside ports of entry as well as the difference between procedures used at ports of entry and procedures used outside ports of entry for persons seeking or obtaining illegal entry into the United States. One issue of particular importance was the fact that many persons arrested for illegal entry outside ports of entry are released on bond or their own recognizance pending a deportation hearing. Another issue was the extent to which adequate background checks are conducted prior to any such release. The hearing asked the question whether current procedures makes sense in light of the September 11th terrorist attack and our ongoing effort to defeat terrorism. U. S.

"This is a study of U.S. government policymaking during the 30 years of the Vietnam war 1945-75 beginning with the 1945-1960 period. Although focusing on the course of events in Washington and between Washington and U.S. officials on the scene it also depicts major events and trends in Vietnam to which the U.S. was responding as well as the state of American public opinion and public activity directed at supporting or opposing the war."--Preface in first volume. This is part of a five volume work. This document was prepared for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. S. Prt. 103-83 Pt. 4. This fourth volume of a five-part policy history of the U.S. government and the Vietnam War covers the core period of U.S. involvement from July 1965 when the decision was made to send large-scale U.S. forces to the beginning of 1968 just before the Tet offensive and the decision to seek a negotiated settlement. Using a wide variety of archival sources and interviews the book examines in detail the decisions of the president relations between the president and Congress and the growth of public and congressional opposition to the war. Differences between U.S. military leaders on how the war should be fought are also included as well as military planning and operations. Among many other important subjects the financial effects of the war and of raising taxes are considered as well as the impact of a tax increase on congressional and public support for the war. Another major interest is the effort by Congress to influence the conduct of the war and to place various controls on U.S. goals and operations. The emphasis throughout this richly textured narrative is on providing a better understanding of the choices facing the United States and the way in which U.S. policymakers tried to find an effective politico-military strategy while also probing for a diplomatic settlement.
