mental request to Congress within
the next six weeks.
This thing is really beginning

at the same time he cautioned
against expecting an immediate

tanks. ammunition, guided mis-
siles and electrical equipment.
The first of the new medium
tanks, for example. will not start
coming in from private industry
until June or early July. The full
delivery rate for tanks is expected

Up to now, Congress has granted
the Defense Department, either in
the first regular appropriation bill
or supplemental bills, authority

Truman estimated in his budget
message last month that another
$40 billion worth of authority
would be needed but already De-
