TITLE V-IMPROVED CIVIL DEFENSE

PROGRAM

§ 2301. Sense of Congress

(a) It is the sense of Congress that

(1) a civil defense program providing for the relocation of the population of risk areas, including the larger United States cities, during a period of strategic warning resulting from an international crisis may be effective in protecting the population;

(2) the present civil defense program should be improved; and

(3) an improved civil defense program can be developed which could enhance the civil defense capability of the United States.

(b) It is further the sense of Congress that an improved civil defense program should be implemented which

(1) enhances the survivability of the American people and its leadership in the event of nuclear war and thereby improves the basis for eventual recovery and reduces the Nation's vulnerability to a major attack;

(2) enhances deterrence, contributes to perceptions of the United States-Soviet strategic balance and crisis stability, and reduces the possibility that the United States might be susceptible to coercion by an enemy in times of increased tension;

(3) does not suggest any change in the United States policy of relying on strategic nuclear forces as the preponderant factor in maintaining deterrence;

(4) includes planning for the relocation of certain segments of the population during times of international crisis; and

(5) is adaptable to help deal with natural disasters and other peacetime emergencies.

(Jan. 12, 1951, ch. 1228, title V, § 501, as added Sept. 8, 1980, Pub. L. 96-342, title VII, § 702(a), 94 Stat. 1088.)

(b) In developing a program structure for attack-related civil defense pursuant to subsection (a), the President shall give consideration to including in such program structure the following elements:

(1) Nuclear civil protection planning for more rapid population relocation during times of international crisis.

(12) The improvement of emergency public information and training programs and capabilities.

(13) The development of plans for postattack economic recovery and the development of plans for postdisaster economic recovery to the extent that planning for postdisaster economic recovery planning does not detract from planning for postattack economic recovery.

can have serious adverse effects on the balance of payments and on domestic employment, particularly when restrictions applied by the United States are more extensive than those imposed by other countries.

(3) It is important for the national interest of the United States that both the private sector and the Federal Government place a high priority on exports, which would strengthen the Nation's economy.

(4) The availability of certain materials at home and abroad varies so that the quantity and composition of United States exports and their distribution among importing countries may affect the welfare of the domestic economy and may have an important bearing upon fulfillment of the foreign policy of the United States.

(5) Exports of goods or technology without regard to whether they make a significant contribution to the military potential of individual countries or combinations of countries may adversely affect the national security of the United States.

(6) Uncertainty of export control policy can curtail the efforts of American business to the detriment of the overall attempt to improve the trade balance of the United States.

(7) Unreasonable restrictions on access to world supplies can cause worldwide political and economic instability, interfere with free international trade, and retard the growth and development of nations.

(8) It is important that the administration of export controls imposed for national security purposes give special emphasis to the need to control exports of technology (and goods which contribute significantly to the transfer of such technology) which could make a significant contribution to the military potential of any country or combination of countries which would be detrimental to the national security of the United States.

(9) Minimization of restrictions on exports of agricultural commodities and products is of critical importance to the maintenance of a sound agricultural sector, to achievement of a positive balance of payments, to reducing the level of Federal expenditures for agricultural support programs, and to United States cooperation in efforts to eliminate malnutrition and world hunger.
