Robert Eastham asked rom the audience that the ward keep its approval of he crisis relocation plan in act. To not have a plan vould be “deliberately put;ing blinders on our eyes,” le said. Eastham suggested ;hat the Izaak Walton League’s representatives ‘make their presentation in Moscow,” insisting that no ane in this country would ever initiate a nuclear attack. But Russia has embarked on a massive cicil defense build-up, he said. If the U.S. does nothing, it will be totally vulnerable to Soviet blackmail, Eastham charged.
Planning for crisis relocation will ensure that there’s “some order” in any evacuation, he said. Although Eastham acknowledged that any nuclear disaster plan would probably be unworkable, he nonetheless insisted that failure to plan would be the equivalent of hiding heads in the sand.
Bird explained that his nuqor thrust was to persuade the supervisors to hold public hearings before approving any crisis plan.
“If Mr. Bird and Mr. Eastham want to have a debate, they can have it at any time but I don’t want to be part of it,” said Wood, in a last word from the board.
Following a long executive session for personnel, the supervisors named Deiter Knuepfer as emergency services coordinator for the county. Col. Knuepfer, who replaces Jennings Hobson, will work with state civil defense planner Charles Kidder oir the crisis relocation program for Rappahannock.
