1946.

R. Robert Rapp served as a Naval Aerologist from 1942 to

He subsequently attended UCLA and worked in the Short

Range Forecast Development Section of the USWB. From 1949 to
1952 he attended NYU where he received his Ph.D. From 1952
to the present he has been with the Rand Corporation where
he has worked on problems of radioactive fallout, weather and
climate modification, the uses and benefits of weather information
and other projects involving environmental effects on military
operations.

Lewis V. Spencer received his Ph.D. in physics from
Northwestern University in 1948. He has been engaged in studies
of the transport of gamma rays, electrons, and neutrons, and
in shielding and dosimetry applications of these transport studies

with the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) since that time.

Dr. Spencer was one of the primary developers of the fallout
shielding technology currently used in national shelter inventory

studies.
He has been a member of the Advisory Committee on
Civil Defense (ACCD) of the National Academy of Sciences since

1958, and has been chairman of the ACCD since 1966.

Robert C. Tompkins received his B.S. in chemistry from the
Ohio State University in 1944 and took some graduate courses
at the University of Chicago in 1946-48. Now with the U.S.

Army Ballistic Research Laboratories

(BRL), he was employed by

the U.S. Army Nuclear Defense Laboratory and its predecessors
ee
from 1949 until that organization's absorption into BRL in 1970.
During most of that period he was engaged in research in fallout
prediction and characterization of fallout particles. Mr. Tompkins
participated in fallout~related projects at six U.S. atmospheric

nuclear test operations in Nevada and the Pacific between 1951
and 1962,

Gilbert J. Ferber received his M.S, in meteorology at
New York University in 1958. He has been engaged in research
concerning atmospheric dispersion and deposition of radioactivity
and other pollutants with the Air Resources Laboratories, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its predecessor

organizations since 1955. Mr. Ferber was also a participant,
with fallout prediction responsibilities, in all U.S. atmospheric
nuclear test operations in Nevada and the Pacific from 1957
through 1962,

Jack C. Greene received his B.S.

in electrical engineering

from MIT in 1947 and his Mastersyin engineering administration
from the George Washington University in 1970. He served

with the Manhattan District at Oak Ridge during WWII after which
