of a credible and effective capability to harness the -
mobilization potential of America in support of the armed
forces, while meeting the needs of-the national economy and
other. civil emergency preparedness requirements. With the
establishment today of the Emergency Mobilization Preparedness
Board, I am formalizing my commitment to achieving this objective.
In August, I instructed the Director of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to proceed with the establishment of eleven
functional Working Groups and a coordinating Secretariat. The
-establishment of the Board is the final step in the development
th
o
e. structure through which to attain our objectives.
Because of the vital contribution that this effort will make
to national security, I have directed that the Assistant to
the President for National Security Affairs shall be Chairman
of the Board. The Board will consist of senior officials of
major federal agencies, each of whom will hold the rank of
deputy secretary or undersecretary. The Board has the authority
to resolve mobilization preparedness issues within the
framework of current Administration policy. Any issue.which'
cannot be resolved through this process. will be referred to
the National Security Council for resolution and Presidential
decision.
The Board is to prepare for my review a draft Presidential
decision document -Co include a statement of national policy
on emergency mobilization preparedness and a plan of action
consistent with this policy. Both are to reflect an
integration of military and civilian objectives and capabilities,
and to specify the level of resources required to attain the
Administration's objectives.
These materials are to be developed in accordance with the
attached operational guidance. .
When.a coordinated National.Security Decision Directive is
ready, Presidential Directive NSC-57 (Mobilization Planning)
will be rescinded..
