B. In every program funded under the Federal Civil Defense Act, statements of work
must specifically provide for measures and project results for nuclear attack
preparedness as defined in 3. below. For the sake of clarity, consistency,
and legal efficacy, the following definitions apply whenever the terms are
used in the statements of work or elsewhere in the Comprehensive Cooperative
Agreement.

1. The term ATTACK means any attack or series of attacks by an enemy of the
United States causing, or which may cause, substantial damage or injury
to civilian property or persons in the United States in any manner by
sabotage or by use of bombs, shellfire, or atomic radiological, chemical,
bacteriological, or biological means or other weapons or processes.
Consideration of the manner of such ATTACK shall not exclude a strategic
and/or tactical nuclear strike on the United States.

2. The term NUCLEAR ATTACK means a strategic nuclear war strike by.a hostile
government or enemy party directed at mu1ltiple targets within the geographical
boundaries of the United States.

3. The term NUCLEAR ATTACK PREPAREDNESS means activities undertaken' to
prepare for the protection of citizens in the event of a strategic nuclear
attack upon the United States. The purpose of such preparedness is to
enhance the survivability of the American people and its leadership in
the event of a nuclear attack, thereby improving the basis for eventual
recovery and reducing the nation's vulnerability to a major attack.

4. The term CIVIL DEFENSE SUPPORTED RESOURCES means all persons, equipment,
facilities, training, and other activities supported in whole or in part
by civil defense funds.

5. The term DUAL USE OF CIVIL DEFENSE is applied in the context of encouraging
the use or adaptation for use of nuclear attack planning, response and
necessary capabilities and resources in all natural, technological, and
attack-related emergencies. The term DUAL USE OF CIVIL DEFENSE SUPPORTED
RESOURCES means that there is a primacy of resource use to accomplish
nuclear attack preparedness objectives, while acknowledging that the
Objectives accomplished may be of benefit in preparing for and responding
to major life threatening natural' and technological disasters. Direct
use of one program's resources by another is not the intent of Congress.
If, however, there are civil defense supported resources available after
accomplishment of nuclear attack preparedness Objectives, they may be
applied to peacetime disaster preparedness Objectives provided that such
use is consistent with, contributes to, and does not detract from nuclear
attack preparedness.

C. The following definition applies whenever the term DUAL USE is used in
the context of multiple major life threatening disasters, both attack in
wartime and natural and technological emergencies in peacetime. The term
DUAL USE means that, while the primary use of resources is to accomplish the
Objectives of the program supported by them, work accomplished can be of
benefit to other programs.
