    'PROPOSALS FOR MORE EFFECTIVE MILITARY MANPOWER POLICIE


Mr. Chairman:

     I am pleased to appear before the Defense Task Force to

discuss, as you requested, the important and interrelated issues

of our military policies concerning a salary system, 20-year

retirement, and the objective enlisted military force composition.

In our view, it appears that these complex issues have not yet been

faced, probably because they are not easily related to dollar reduc-

tions in near-term or in the pending budget.

     Regarding these three areas of concern, I hope that our testi-

mony will clear up any misconceptions that may exist and possibly

provide some impetus to face these critical issues squarely and

soon. In our view, to do so will result in more effective Armed

Forces, as well as long-term cost savings.
