The Federal program has been based on certain ground rules that have
been generally aggapted as valid. These basic assumptions, which are
applicable to Stile Rnd local governments as well as to the Federal
agencies, are seven in number:
1. That in the event of war the city of Waehingtoz will be a prime
target for atom, hydrogen, or other bombing.
2. That other large metropolitan and industrial centers will be
venally prime targets for atom, hydrogen, or other bombing.
3. That the entire concept of "protection" must be based on relative
rather than on absolute safety, since probably no vault that is near or
above the surface of the ground could withstand a direct hit by the most
destructive bombs. Adequate underground storage facilities are not
available in many areas,
4. That the need for duplication of records will vary according to
the vaule of the record, the normal distribution of copies, and the
relative safety of the places to which the copies are distributed.
5, That evacuation to a non-target area ia the most practical means
of providing protection, with the realization at the same time that the
hitherto non-target area may become a target area a? soon ae the valuable
material is moved into it.
6. That a calculated risk must be taken with regard to certtn
records of lesser value than those identified . as vital records.
7. That each agency affected is responsible for planning and putt in
into effect action neoessary to protect its reeorde.

iciency - Coverage. Emergency reproduction of an
ection would require full-time use of that section
for a period of a week or more. BecauSe the
no for which reproduction was neceesary would in
elihood be the same ones needed by the analysts
Relocation Center, the one copy of each Nis now
in the Vital Materials Repository would not, in most
instances be adequate to satisfy the conflicting
demands.
Recommendation - It is planned to place another complete
set of published NIS in the VM Repository, this set to
be charged to and releasable only by OBI. This set,
along with the negatives of half-tones and multi-color
maps now deposited in VM, will provide this office with
reproduction copy for all published NIS elements, OBI
will then be able to carry out its reaonst*iiity to
furnish multiple copies of the NIS in event of an
emergency.
Action - OBI has already dde the extra NTS to it,
current VM Schedule.
