Earthquake disaster urpenry plans are tn the nascent stages throushout the state, hampered by apathy amon public officials, Jack of funds and infrequent oxcrelovs, The public is ill-prepared to cope with earthquakes or their artermaths., There is virtually no publicity about what to do aur- ing or after 2 major quake. Barthquako drills are rarely, 1f ever, held in communi- ties or in public bulldings (schools aro an exception). . A recent federally sponsored study gives these estimates of death and injury should a temblor of mors than 7 or 8 on the Rich- ter scale occur in or near San Francisco or Los Anmcles: San Francisco—as many as 10,090 persons dead and 40,000 injured. (Should a major dam break, tho death toll could rise to 60,000.) Another 56,000 could be leit home- less (not including Guin dyacuees). Los Angeles—as many as 20,000 deaths and up to 600,000 injured. Additional deaths pog- sible duc to major dam fatlure—up to 14,000. Homeless (not including dam evacuces), up to 180,000, At the very best, Callfornians are fatalistic about earthauakes, accepting that they will come, and honing they will be out of the affected area when it happens. “You don’t know when tt Is poing to be or how it's going to Ue,” sald one West Los An- geles resident. “I should put money into making my house earthquake-proof when I could be in some skyscraper swaying when it happens? Who cares?” In San Francisco, a college professor re- cently asked 125 residents In a random sampling what they would do ff an earth- quake comes. Sixty per cent said, in effect, “Start praying. What else 1s there to do?” What can be done? In fact, qute 2 lot— and some of it is being accomplished In the areas of building code upcracdine, land-use planning, emerpency preparedness, earth-= quake prediction, and public education. But the effort of a fev areressive lecistators, state and local officials, and private clilinens 4s frustrated by tho low level of priority generally acsiened to earthquake protection, Tho “kill ratio” of past California earth- quakes is extremely low compared to, say, traffic accidents, About 960 persons have died as the results of quakes since the turn of the century compared to an averase annual hiyhway toll of 4,800, Thus there are those who argue against expenditure; of time and effort on something as mercurlel and unpre- dictable as an earthqua.ce, CasSornin’s new pgovernor, Edmund G. Brown, Jr., is snid to be one of those. Accord- ing to a recent news story, Brown supeested that money being allocated for safe buildings mht be used to improvo the quality of edu- cation, to rehabtlitate housing for the poor, or to create construction Jobs, AGL TUFORUATION CONTATHED Heer Is Sat od ¢ urczassirre prt noue” GRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATYg After the San Frenando quake, there was a flurry of studies, hearings, plans ond legis«" lation. In Los Angeles, the buliding code require- ments were toughened. Explained Bob Wile Yams, general manarer of Los Angeles’ De- pariment of Building and Safety: “We doubled the loading strength requirements and required standards twice as strang in re- inforend concrete and reinforced masonry.” Los Angeles’ building code js in somo re- spect tougher than the Uniform Building Cede to which most juri.dictions in. the state adhere, One official, Tony Beach build- ing director Edward M. O'Connor, a leading preponent of better preparedness, contends that the Uniform Building Code falis short. “Tt does not fulfil the purpose of the exie: to preserve life, limb, property and the public welfare in the event of an earth- quake,” he sald. Changes in the uniform code come slowly. They are modeled after recommendations by the Calfornia Structural Engineers As- sociation, composed of professional. engineers who help design buildings. The recommendations usually represent a balance of conservative and liberal strains within the association, and, according to some observers, are strongly influenced by economic considerations. The drafters of the uniform code are still wrestling with one of the central lessons of the San Fernando earthquake—the fact that major bulldings are being constructed with little knowledge or consideration of soil and geological conditions and how they might respond to ground shocks, Geologists and scisnmile experts admit they know very little about what causes earth- quakes or precisely how bulldings are affected by local or even distant shocks. Now, for the first time, California is placing instruments that measure motion in key buildings around the state. But they must await an- other earthquake to produce usable data, In the meantime, seismic considerations are working their way slowly—some say too slowly—into building requirements. New laws ban construction directly over active faults, require satisfactory geologic studies before new hospitais are built, re- quire that a “seismic safety element” be in- cluded in local planning, and require the correction of unsafe dam conditions, This legislation added up to the most pro- gressive package of earthquake measures in 40 years, but it was not accomplished without resistance. The restriction on bullding on or near faults, for example, inspired a storm of protest from real estate developers and in- dividual lot owners that eventually forced a modification softening the restriction, A hospital law passed in 1972 requires that actalicd geological and soil reporis for pro- posed hospital construction be reviewed by state geologists. James Flosson, director of the state De- partment of Mines and Geology, promptiy ran into problems. “The reports the first few months were a dirgrace to the profession,” Flosson said. “We insisted that they be redone, and done again unth they were right. I’vo had my Head bloodied many times as a result. I've been threatened, told my career would be ruined— a few feolovists tried to geb me fired. But wo stood by our guns and now the quality of the reports Is excellent.” Another area of controversy is highrise safety. Berkeley architect Karl V. Stelnbrupge believes the modern steelframo construction will withstand Intenso shocks. But Henry J. -Depunkelb, a San Francisco ctructural ene giuver and frequent crilie of safety standards, safd: | “Y would not find it unreasonable to ex- pect... there will be 15 to 30 total collap.es whith snother 50 to 100 severely damaged” in Ban Francisco, ed While there fs disagreement about high- ‘a April 29, 1975 riso collapse, there is a broad consensus that most existing high rises are vulnerable to ex- tensivo internal damage from unbolied equipment and, most significantly, from fire. The dangers are serious enough to have prompted major changes recently in fire rege ulations for all future buildings. All future high rises (above 75 feet) will be bulls with automatic governors that bring elevators instantiy to ground level, and, mest importantly, with sprinkler systems at every level. AW but a minuseale number of the nearly 2,000 hiyh rises presently in Los Anyeles and San Francisco lack sprinkler systenis. Requirements that they be installed were written Into a state law last year, bub eYoris - to draft regulations ran into fierce opposition from builders, the Chambers of Comunerce and other businessmen. The battle ts still being fought. San Prancisvo’s disaster plan is advanéed over those of other municipalities, but it sui- fers from lack of a central communications network, insufliclent coordination among de- partments and Inadequate practical exer- cises, according to a city planning depart- mont study. “All it is is a paper organization,” said Alfred Goldberg, head of the city’s bullding “department, Goldberg's concerns are echoed by Jame: Haigwood, state emergency services officer in charge of helping to create state-level dis- aster plan for Southern California. Commented Haigwood: “I don’t think most elected and appointed officiais understand they have a real responsibility to have their jurisdictions prepared. They are only doing a barebones job.” RULES ,OF PROCEDURE FOR THE SELECT COMMITTEE TO STUDY GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS WITH RESPECT TO INTELLI- GENCE ACTIVITIES Mr. CHURCH.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF POSITION ON VOTES Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, on April 22, 1975, I submitted for the ReEcorp a summary of my posirion on the votes for H.R. 2166, the tax reduction bill and H.R. 4296, the farm bill. For the permanent Recorp, I would Hke to correct an error made in this summary. The correct notation for votes No, 92 and 93 should be as follows: Vote No. 92: Modified Hart unhnum- bered amendment—nay. Vote No. 93: Motion to table motion to reconsider the vote by which the modi- fied Hart unnumbered amendment was agreed to-—nay. THE IMPORTANCE OF LATIN AMERICA Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, I wish to call to the attention of my collearues an editorial which gppcared in the Washington Pest on April 26 en= titied, “The Importance of Latin Amer- ica.” Frankly, it is a sorry thing we have to be reminded. For too long, we haye neglected what President Kennedy recognized as our “sister republics”’-~and when we have dealt with them, it has tou often been on the basis of paternalism rather than equality. Yet the good nelshbor policy and the alliance for progress remind us that our relations have been—and again can be—warm and constructive. They should oceupy 2 central place in our foreign policy, and they should be con- ducted with the mutual respect they deserve. Unfortunately, we hove been dis< tracted in recent years by hotter spots, such as Indochina and the Middle East, not to mention our traditional absorp- Page 14 April 29, 1973 tion : in superpower politics. To be stra jt is some measure of our indliferen,; that we have withheld trade preferenr,. acress-the-board, despite the fact th. countries like Venezuela and Ecuador ¢ not participate in the Arab oil emba:. which provoked our action. Beset by massive social and econo: problems, South America continues ferment. We should not wait to be co. fronted with revolution and crisis. Rats. er, we should anticipate and encour. progress and peaceful change. We mi |: begin by supporting a new and fe: Panama Canal Treaty, by seriously rm. evaluating the present policy of su, tions on Cuba, and by forswearing ini: Terence in internal affairs, which has h: such serious repercussions in Chile ary Foonduras, Clearly, the mere visit of Secreta Kissinger cannot substitute for the sub. stantive reassessment and Improveme: of our altitudes and policies. Latin Ame:- ica is coming of age; so should Ameri. Perhaps for our bicentennial we sh. establish a, new corollary to the Monri- Doctrine, that Latin America be pru- tected not only from European excesse but from our own as well, Mr. President, I ask unanimous cor- sent that the excellent Post editorial Le printed in the Recorp. There being no objection, the editoria was ordered to be printed in the Recor», as follows: Tire InporTANCE OF LATIN AMERICA t is regrettable but not disastrous that the Indochina crisis should have forced See- retary of Stato Kissinger to postpone again his long-scheduled tzlp to Argentins Brazil end Venesuela. The trip would suri; have enhanced the secretary’s understara- ing of a region of far more critical and ¢u- during importance to the United States t1. ” Indochina. And it wouid have given his ho« 1 the opportunity to get what Latins perr.- nially feel is a commodity in short supply tha high level attention of the U.S. govern- ment.

Memorandum to Mr. J. B. Adams - Re: SENSTUDY - 75 62-116395 [s.verv cogent observation concerning the FBI's handling of informants. The SSC Task Force he is on is studying informant matters in various intelligence community agencies including the FBI. He stated that they had found the FBI as so much far superior to other agencies that they considered the FBI as the standard for all law enforcement. He cited specifically the finding that the Internal Revenue Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. as very weak in informant aspects. It is believed that the visitors found the briefing most productive, as they themselves stated that briefings © such as this one will be very helpful to the SSC in its work; and promote friendly and businesslike relations between the SSC and the Bureau. ACTION: None. For information. N HW 55075 Docld:329895352 Page 19
