sented in a form to accomplish
these ends.
In addition to greater au-
thority and flexihility in the
administration Of defense funds
the Secretary Of Defense needs
greater control over the distri-
button Of functions in his De-

Various provisions of this kind

M longer give legal support
to efforts to weaken the au-
thority Of the Secretary.
Law Invites Controversy
On this point the law itself
invites controversy. On the
one hand, the National Secu-
rity Act gives the Secretary Of
Defense direction, authority,
and control" over his entire
department. Yet the same law
provides that the military de-
partments are to be "sepa-
rately administered" by their
respective secretaries. This is
not merely inconsistent and

do not question the necessity
for continuing the military de.
partments. There is clear ne.
cessity for the Secretary oil
Defense to decentralize the ad:
ministration of the huge de.
tense organization by relying
on the military departments Il
carry on a host Of essential
functions.
The contradictory concept
however. that three military
departments can be at once
administered separately, yet
directed by one administrator
who is supposed to establish
"integrated policies and pro-
|cedures." has encouraged end
less. fruitless argument. Such
provisions unavoidably abrade
the unity Of the Defense De-
partment.

fusion over roles and missions.

Secretaries to raise contested
issues with the Secretary OF
Defense. This is the usual con-
cept OF powers of principal staff
assistants. It is essential to the
work of the Assistant Secre-
taries of Defense.
Ieshonld add here that. with
a view to reducing personnel
and avoiding unnecessary in
reference with service activi-
ties. the Secretary Of Defense
will critically review the oper-
ating methods of the various
STATS in the Office Of Secretary
of Defense. He also will review
the interdepartmental commit
tee structure within the depart
ment in an effort to accelerate
the entire decision making
process.
Earlier I mentioned that a
principal outlet for service RI
valries is the public affairs and
legislative liaison activity with
in each Of the military depart
ments. For many years I have
attached the greatest impor-
lance to providing prompt and
accurate information to men,
bers Of the Congress. have
the same viewpoint in respect
to furnishing information to
the press and the public. But
surely everyone will agree, that
personnel charged with such
duties should not seek to adj
vance the interest Of q particu-
lar service at the expense Of
"nother. nor should they ad-
vance a service cause at the ex-

impede such techniques for In
creased efficiency and economy
as the single manager plan,
which would provide many OF
the benefits Of a separate serv-
ice of supply without its pos
sible disrupting effects.
RevisiOns in Act
I suggest that we be done
with prescribing controversy by
law. I recommend eliminating
from the National Security Act
such provisions as those pre-
scribing separate administra-
ton Of the military departments
and the other needless and
injurious restraints on the
authority of the Secretary of
Defense. ] specifically call
attention to the need for
removing doubts concerning
the Secretary's authority to
transfer. resssign. abolish or
consolidate functions Of the
Department.
I anticipate that the Secre-
tary of Defense and his Deputy
will require. In addition to a
Director of Defense Research
and Engineering and various
special assistants. seven Assist
ant Secretaries Of Defense plus
q General Counsel Of equivalent
rank. I conceive Of these Assist
ant Secretaries as having full
staff functions: that is, they
are empowered to give instruc-
tons appropriate to carrying
policies approved by the Secre-
tary of Defense, subject at all
times to the right Of service

urge the Congress to consider
them promptly and to Coop
crate fully in making these
essential Improvements in our
defense establishment.
Now in conclusion let us
clearly understand that
through these various actions
we will have moved forward in
many important ways.
We will have better prepared
our country to meet an emer-
gency which could come with
little warning.
We will have improved our
military planning.
We will have accelerated de-
disseminating processes.
We will have effectively or
ganized our defense programs
in the crucial fields of science
and technology.
We will have remedied or

encouraged harmful service
rivalries.
We will have improved the

ACTIONS involving military per.
sonnet.
First, I am instituting a new
personnel procedure for top.
ranking officers. 1t is my be.
lief that before officers are adj
vanced beyond the two-stai
level. they must have demon
strated. among other qualities
the capacity for dealing OBJ
jectively-without extreme
service partisanship-with mat
tiers of the broadcast signifi-
canoe to our national security
l am. therefore, instituting this
new procedure: will consider
officers for nomination to these
top ranks only on recommen-
dations of the Secretary of De-
Tense submitted to me after
he has received suggestions of
the Secretaries Of the military
departments and the advice of
the Joint Chiefs of staff.
also will base my assignments
Of these officers to high COM
mand. staff and departmental
positions on recommendations
of the Secretary of Defense. 1
will, in reassigning or remov-
ing them, follow the same pro-
cedure.
Transfer Of Officers
I further believe that the
Secretary of Defense should be
authorized to establish proce-
dures for the transfer of off,
GERS between services. with the
consent of the individual in
each case. This authority is
needed primarily in technical

defense requirements. OF this
! am sure: We do not want de-
Tense dollars spent in publicity
and influence campaigns in
which each service claims SUI
periority over the others and
strives for increased appropri-
ations or other congressional
favors.
Defense Review Slated
I have directed the Secretary
OF Defense to review the num-
bers as well as the activities OF
personnel of the various mill
tary departments who engage
In legislative liaison and public
affairs activities in the WASH
ington area. I have requested
that he act, without impeding
the flow of information to the
Congress and the public, to
strengthen Defense Department
supervision over these activities
and to move such of these per-
sonnet and activities as neces-
sary into the Office of the Sec
Rotary of Defense.
! have, in this connection, adj
.vised the Secretary of my de-
sire that his principal assistant
for legislative liaison be civil
ian official. On the recon-
mendation Of the Secretary, 1
shall nominate a person as AS
sistant Secretary of Defense to
perform those duties. An As
sistant Secretary of Defense al
ready holds the responsibility
for public affairs activities.
Finally. I believe we can

ment.
In our country, under the
Constitution. effective military
defense requires a full partner
ship of the Congress and the
Executive. Thus, acting in ac-
cord with our respective duties
and our highest tradition, we
shall achieve an efficient de-
tense organization capable of
safeguarding our freedom and
serving us in our quest for an
enduring peace.
