The instructions, according to the spokesman, were written out for the first time to emphasize to the guards their tremendous responsibility... (and) the most serious consequences (to) the safety of the U.S. public inherent in the loss of any nuclear weapon. The guards were specifically instructed to discharge their firearms with the intent of hitting, and if necessary, killing anyone who attempts to steal a nuclear weapon. The outbreak of the Middle East conflict, in which the Arabs fear the Israels have and may use nuclear weapons not available to Egypt and Syria, heightened fear among AEC members over a possible attempt by terrorists to obtain a nuclear warhead.

Although corn prospects declined, the report noted grain sorghum estimates improved 2 percent, lifting that crop to a record 999 million bushels. As a result, overall production of aU livestock feed grains rose to 211 million tons, a new record and slightly above a month earlier. With domestic and foreign demand for grains booming despite prices which have-beeaveraging higher than ever before, experts estimate U.S. feed grain reserves, which stood at about 34 million tons this fall, may be pulled down by nearly another 3 million tons by a year from now.
