Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 24:62
- Attack: means any action or series of actions taken by an enemy of the United States resulting in substantial damage or injury to persons or property in this state, whether through sabotage, bombs, missiles, shellfire, or atomic, radiological, chemical, bacteriological or biological means or other weapons or methods. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 24:63
The legislature declares:
(1) that recent technological developments make possible an enemy attack of unprecedented destructiveness, which may result in the death or inability to act of a large proportion of the membership of the legislature;
(2) that to conform in time of attack to existing legal requirements pertaining to the legislature would be impracticable, would admit of undue delay, and would jeopardize continuity of operation of a legally constituted legislature; and
(3) that it is therefore necessary to adopt special provisions as hereinafter set out for the effective operation of the legislature.
Acts 1963, No. 113, §2.
