Lreniember one thing, ane thatis that twenty cities
had 40 pereent of the U.S, population and those twenty retrepolitan
accas would presumably be absolutely destroyed,
AYRES. Yes, if you've wiped out the whole metropobtan area,
But don't foreet the New York metropolitan area, which has 15
million people, also covers quite a large area and it takes mor- than
one Hom) to do it,
HISENBUD
The last time [ looked atit, 20 percem of the lew
York City area population lived within 20 percent of the area of New
York City.
AYRES: [I'm still trying to address this point which was, let's say
for purposes of argument, that 60 percent of the population is gone,
Now, it may be that 50 percent of the misceilancous manufacturing
capacity but onty 50 percent of the electric power production is gone
wh
20 percent of the harbers would be gone, of maybe more like
45,
It varies from onc category to another,
Now,

you'll get most of the petroleum refineries with the first fifty bombs
but you won't get very much population, and so cn, Seo the vornt is
that there is a much greater surviving capacity ou' side cf the big
cities than anybody really thinks until he Icoks at the numbers, And
there are a lot of small cities between 59, 000 and 1530, 900 in population, rnost of which have productive facilities of cne sort or another,
