We have at the other end of the country a situation where a basically benign event occurs to the longterm viability of the region. but which is by no means benign at the moment in the form of a red hot volcano. Clearly. I believe our first emergency disaster legislation goes back to about 1950. Then it was tornado and flood legislation. Only gradually has it been extended to include refugee relief and other nonphysical disasters. We have in the Federal Emergency Management Administration. with Mr. John Macy. formerly of Civil Service. a public servant of great achievement and spirit. whose service goes back to his direction of the Atomic Energy Agency in its early. crucial days.
