306 DASA 2039-2 damaged beyond repair and would have to be evacuated. I don't re- call the figures, Il wonder if any of you do. I would certainly hope that they could be in the record of this discussion when the transcript finally comes up. TAYLOR: They must have been approximately in the ratio of the rural to the urban population, which is maybe a third. That's a third of the houses which survive, but they would be almost all rural. That must be within a factor of two, EISENBUD: Yes, TAYLOR: Would survive’ DUNHAM: It would be a third of tne suburban houses that would survive, EISENBUD. These are the casualties that resulted from the initial — strike. They do not or did not include, for example, casualties from starvation resulting from the fact that perhaps the crops are standing in the field when the attack comes and nobody harvests them. So all the crops rot, warehouses burn; there might be a lack of water, not so much because the water is contaminated but simply because the distribution systems are destrayed, I¢ did not contemplate the effects of disease, the fact that medical facilities would be inadequate to deal with disease, : Then one has to consider what happens afterwards, because surcly there will be some period which might be only six months or it might be six centurics while there would be a continued attrition in society due to the fact that society hadn't quite recovered enough to deai with the raft of explosions, the insects, the -iruses and God knows what, UPTON: The absence of a major effect on other continents? EISENBUD: You would have to assume that there was about equal devastation or more in Europe. DUNHAM: AYRES: What about Canada? I think the attack covered Canada as well, EISENBUD: Yes.
