No 373359, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Defense planning is vital both as a deterrent to aggression and as a means of coping with the effects of aggression if it should occur anyway. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has major planning and, in event of actual emergency, major operational responsibilities in relation to food; defense against biological and chemical warfare in relation to livestock and crops, defense against fallout as it relates to certain areas-of responsibility of USDA, and rural fire defense. This statement will concern itself with a brief review of the existing programs of USDA in relation to defense, authorities and organization for defense planning and the nature of defense planning.
