3 SESSION VI AYRES: 283 Good heuvens, no! DUNHAM: It might be! [Laughter] ROOT: Then let me throw that into the hopper. Hudson Institute hae a fat volume, called The Year 2900 (Reference 54) coming out in a couple of months which aleo deals with what there will be left. It had a section on nuclear war when I saw it in manuscript form. Also limited wars. It has a lot of scenarios but it also talks about limited warfare and limited nuclear weapons. MILLET: Lf I may speak to the prologue for a minute, we started a series of round tables at the American Psychiatric on transcultural reactions of various sorts, and the first one we had was on civilian tensions in the atomic age. This was dated 1961. It has never been published. It contained rather an interesting conglomeration of ideas on the subject. sen. around, Perhaps it might be timely to have that copied and FREMONT-SMITH: It would be fine if you could get a copy to this group. MILLET: I tried to get opinions from different people in different countries, and so on. We didn't get much out of anybody except the Americans, and from people who had immigrated to America from different countries, India and Holland, for example. EISENBUD: The group that could be most influential in pushing that point, nuclear ‘var ona large scale, off until infinity, of course, would be the decision-makers of our society, people that influence what is done. These are the people, mainly, that we elect to office, influenced by civilians of a variety of types, such as people from academic institutions, heads of large corporations, and religious leaders. I gathered from the discussion of the past two days that some of us think that perhaps the decision-makers in some cases haven't been well-informed and in other cases haven't deen well- motivated. 1 often think of something that Oppenheimer said in one 2f the last public appearances before he got sick, in which he pointed out that one of the greatest dangers is that man would go to nuclear war for trivial reasons because the consequences of the nuclear war wouldn't really be appreciated by the people that had to make the decision.
