Talk:National Security Act of 1947

message: In doing my research for a separate project, I have found that this page cites the wrong Public Law number for the Act. The correct Public Law Number is 253, making the correct caption as P.L. 80-253. The caption of P.L. 80-235 references to previous H.R. 2225 which was signed into law on July 25, 1947 and can be found at 61 Stat. 423 (1947). Paradiver (talk) 22:51, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

message: This summary of the National Security Act of 1947 is helpful, but I would also reccommend including the full text of the article and "plain English" summaries of the more noteworthy segments, as I'm sure they're as complicated as any other legislation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.99.170.81 (talk • contribs)  06:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Quoting segments of the text at least and glossing them seems like a good idea. Alexander 007 05:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I remember hearing the Truman actually signed the act aboard his Air Force C-118 Liftmaster, Independence, since this was the act that created the United States Air Force, but so far have found nothing to support this.  Does anyone else know of this?  --rogerd 03:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

message: If this bill was signed on the Presidential Plane, how come the picture captioned is in the Oval Office?
Oh, nevermind. Well that was stupid.
Yeah, I don't get it either. The picture should be removed if it doesn't conform with the facts.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.13.40 (talk) 05:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I added a Titles section to describe the three titles of the act. Does anyone oppose to me removing the Actions section, as it does not offer any new information?

I changed the section "History" to "Legislative history" and added a ton of new information. I cited everything I added, so there shouldn't be a problem, but please let me know if I missed anything or if you disagree with the way I formatted it or anything! I'm open to suggestions.
