Speaking on the resolution, Councillor Daniel H. Hayes stressed that Cambridge is not considered a target because of the presence of M.I.T. and Harvard, but rather such technological centers are considered prizes of war to be captured with as little harm as possible.

Last year the Johnson Administration pushed for legislation that would have empowered the Secretary of Labor to issue mandatory health and safety standards and to enforce them-to the point of closing down factories-if "imminent harm" was found to exist. The legislation died, in no small part because of vigorous industry objections. But similar bills have been introduced this year, including one co-sponsored by 34 members of the House. The Nixon Administration has yet to take a stand on the issue. Whatever its decision...
