Text of Truman Directive on Governments Monpoer Policy

| stated above, but do not prejudice
or limit extension of manpowel
policies as further needs of mobili.
zation evolve.
a. The size of the armed forces
will be determined by the Presi.
dent. He will be provided with the
Department of Defense require
ments to meet strategic plans;
with full information on the pro-
spective supplies of manpower, anc
on the manpoWer requirements fol
defense production. agriculture
civil defense, and other essential
purposes.
b. The greatest care must be
exercised to assure that the supply
of persons possessing critical skills
will be distributed among military
and civilian activities in a manner
which will contribute most to the
mobilization program. When the
total need for workers with criti-
cal skills for civilian and military
assignments is expected to exceed
the supply that can be made avail
able. the requirements for persons
with such skills will be reviewed
and distribution of the supply
will be measured by the relative
urgency of the need for critical
