SESSION VI : 333 HEMLER: And when it would be over. [think the same thing would be true with a detonation, I think they would know instantaneously that an explosion had occurred. Whether it occurred in other cities, whether it was a mass attack they wouldn't know, EISENBUD: Of course, what I was referring to is the feeling that I think many of us have, that there was something extraordinary happening that just wasn't going to be explained by the fact that there was a minor break ina relay up in Canada. It looked as though there was a deliberate plan, for a few minutes anyway, to sabotage the Northeast. HEMLER: Butinthis case you've gone to the ultimate already, you've reached it, UPTON: [If such an evert were to occur without warning, who would take over, and how soon, and how would information be obtained concerning the precise whereabouts of the event and the measurement of radiation levels and that sort of thing” MILLET: HEMLER: ROOT: That would depend on who was left, wouldn't it? That's true. Or on planning. DOBSON: If one just hypothesizes a single weapon instead of three over New York, is this taking liberties with your question? UPTON: Yes, surely. DOBSON: If one hypothesizes a single explosion over New York City, I think there is a rather important question to ask to get started realistically: who takes over and how does he or they obtain the information necessary and to whomdo they give this information? Who are the remaining people? What do they do? Who helps them decide what to do? Is it possible to help them decide what to do? TAYLOR: In the world as it is today or otherwise? UPTON: Today. People will need information; they will be tuning in the open bands expecting some direction, and where will it come from?
