result. is q formidable assur-l
ance to any aggressor that We
would react to attack, instantly
and powerfully.
In the same period, exhaus-
tive studies have been made on
manpower--the key to q proper
military posture. The recon-
mendations herewith submitted,
dealing with both the active
and the reserve forces, are based
on them.
Proposals on Manpower.
In summary. recommend
"a that the present statutory
provisions authorizing the in
duction Of young men by the
Selective Service System for "a
months of training and service,
scheduled to expire July /, 1855,
be extended until July !. 1853;
CD that the existing special
statutory provisions authorizing
the registration and induction
Of doctors and dentists, also
scheduled to expire on July /,
1855. be extended until July 1,
1857; and go that legislation
be enacted by the Congress to
permit the strengthening of the
reserve forces to meet essential
mobilization requirements.
The extension of selective
service is necessary because ex-
perience demonstrates that ac-
tive armed forces Of the size we
must maintain cannot be raised
by voluntary enliStments alone.
The maximum number of vol
unteers will continue to be the
recruiting goal Of the services.
But realistic estimates set the
probable ceiling on voluntary
forces, in the present economic
situation, at a million and half
more than 1.3 million men
short of the planned strength
goal for the end of the fiscal
year 1856.
Active force strengths are
continually under review, in the
light of changing missions and
chronological improvement Of
weapons. A major purpose is
economy in the use of men. But
/ see no reasonable prospect that
the world situation or techno-
logical advances, in the next
four years, will render the draft
unnecessary.
Four Year Draft Extension.
I earnestly recommend, con-
sequently. that the extension be
for four years. In the case of
doctors and dentists I recon-
mend that the extension be for
another period of two years only.
! BY that time it is expected that

Congress enact legislation which
would permit the States to raise

organized militia forces which
would take over the National
Guards domestic missions and
support civil defense activities
upon its withdrawal.
These i've remedies are sug-
gested as amendments to our
existing legislative pattern. which
is an essentially sound one.
Through these amendments.
certain broad objectiyes can be

choice of methods Of meeting his
military obligation. At the
threshold of his career, he viii

that ne can make Qeunlte plans
for his future.
In addition, q more equitable
sharing Of the military obliga-
tions viii be accomplished. The
program viii 60 far toward
assuring combat veterans that
they will not be called in an
emergency until younger men
who have not had combat duty

inequity made apparent during

! believe that, under today's
conditions. steps generally as
outlined above represent the best
available approach to the prob

earnestly urge that Congress
promptly initiate its studies of
the detailed measures necessary
and that legislation incorporating
the principles Of the program
be enacted.

FOLLOWING Is the teri OF
President Eisenhoper's mes
sage to Congress on an ere
panded military nldHpotceT
and training systeHIe
TO THE CONGRESS OF THE
UNITED STATES:
The military security of the
United States requires armed
forces, disposed and alerted for
instant action, quickly reinforce
able by units ready for mobiliza-
ton, assured an adequate pool
of trained manpower for neces-
sary expansion. Three elements
are necessary to this military
posture-tD active forces IN
the strength and effectiveness
necessary to meet, to repel and
to punish a first massive assault
or to conduct a lesser operation
that does not require n1obiliza-
ton; t2)' reserves so organized
and trained as units that they
can be speedily modified to rein
force the active forces In COM
bat or to man defense opera
tions at home; CD an unor-
ganized reserve pool. adequa Z
in training and numbers. to per-
mit q quick general mobilization
Of all our military strength.
Never, in peacetime. have we
achieved this proper military
posture. The penalties Of our
unreadiness have been mani
fold-in treasure, in blood, in
the heartbreak of a mighty Ma
ton buying time with the lives
Of men. Now, in an uneasy
peace. we can and must move
toward this proper posture-at
tolerable cost, with due regard
for tradition, without disruption
of human plans or the material
economy.
Korea and Indo-C China are Bit
ter reminders of the ever-present
threat of aggression. The masses
of armed men and the vast array
Of war-making machines. main
tanned by the Soviets and their
satellites along the frontiers OF
the free world, sharpen the re-
minders.
Maintenance Of Peace.
The first purpose Of our de-
fense planning remains the
maintenance Of a Just, secure
peace. II, however, unwanted
war should come, it should find
us ready with every resource at
our command to repel and de-
feat the enemy. And, at home,
we must have forces trained for
every emergency. should an ag-
gressor be so criminally unwise
as to attempt an atomic attack.
In seeking to attain these
goals, we must remember that
the active military forces are

Second. present legislation
does not make adequate pro-

directly into the reserve forces
without either adversely affect

of the active forces to recruit

Basic Training Period.
At present, the reserves are
composed Of older men who have
completed their terms OF active
service. For example, less than
II per cent of the men now in
the Army Reserves are under
"a years Of age. I recommend
that legislation be adopted by

The National Guard.
Third. under present legisla-
ton, there is no assurance that
the National Guard, which by
law is in the first line OF defense
and dependent on voluntary en-
listments, receives an adequate
supply of young men with ap-
propriate basic training. Young
