Office of the Secretary
1 October 1957
SUBJECT: Concise Statement and Final Status Report Concerning Department
of Defense Legislative Program for 1957
Reference is made to the memoranda from this office dated 15 January
1957 and 1 June 1957, furnishing (1) concise statements concerning the
Department of Defense Legislative Program for 1957 and (2) a report on the
status of these items. Since these dates, thirty-one new items of legis-
lation have been recommended for the Legislative Program and are described
in Section 2 of the inclosure accompanying this memorandum, pages 44A
through 55A.
Section 1 contains concise statements on each proposal enacted into law
by the 85th Congress, lst session.
Section 2 contains a concise statement on each proposal remaining in the
Department of Defense Legislative Program for 1957.
Section 3 contains a report showing the status of development of each pro-
gram item and non-program legislation of interest to the Department of the
Air Force at the time of adjournment of the 85th Congress.
Section 1 is arranged in numerical sequence under the "85" sequence
identification numbers assigned by the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
Section 2 is arranged in numerical sequence under the 1185" number identi-
fication system assigned by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Future,
items in the Department of Defense Legislative Program for 1958 will be
identified by the "85" series number as legislative processing of these
proposals progresses. When an "85" series number is missing from the list-
ing, this indicates that the item assigned such number has been withdrawn
as a result of subsequent enactment or other action. Section 3 contains
the status of each proposal as of. 2+00 hours, 30 September 1957.
Since Section 3 of the inclosure identifies those items which have
already been recommended to be carried over into the Department of Defense
Legislative Program for 1958, no additional report of this nature will be
published at the time of convening of the second session of the 85th
Congress in January 1958.
For convenience, a subject index has been included immediately pre-
ceding Section 1. An asterisk in front of the identifying "85" series
number denotes that the item was enacted into Public law during the first
session of the 85th Congress.
Section 2 and certain subdivisions of Section 3 have been marked "FOR
OFFICIAL USE ONLY". The proposals digested and identified therein will not
be submitted to the Congress, Congressional Committees, or individual mem-
bers of the Congress, or their staff assistants until such time as advices
have been received as to the relationship of these proposals to the program
of the President for 1958. These proposals shall not be released to the
public or to individuals or organizations not part of the Executive Branch
of the Government until they have been officially transmitted and recommended
to the Congress. When the Status Report indicates that a proposal has been
transmitted to the 85th Congress, this restriction is no longer applicable.

to persons retired under the Civil Service Retirement Act. These civilian members
of the teaching staff are not under the Civil Service Retirement system and there-
fore received no benefit from P. L, 369. Their retirement annuities have, however,

PUBLIC LAW. 85-155 APPROVED 21 August 1957. This measure provides a single
source of authority for the appointment, promotion, and retirement of nurses and
medical specialists in the Regular Army and Regular Air Force and for their
equivalents in the Navy. The proposal repealed the major provisions of the old
Army-Navy Nurses Act of 1940, as amended, which previously governed appointment,
promotion and retirement of these officers. The provisions of P. L. 85-155
roughly parallel the provisions of the Officer Personnel Act and improve the normal

ances of dependents of such personnel, and to make presumptive findings of death
and other determinations under appropriate circumstances. It also allowed
entitlement to pay and allowances of any member of the Philippine Scouts who
was captured in the Philippine Islands by the enemy during World War II,, who was
later paroled and permitted to return to his home, provided that no such claim
shall be approved if the claimant voluntarily participated with or for the
Japanese Government, Japanese nationals, or others and performed actions or
duties of a military nature hostile to the United States.

851:L4 NAVY Performance Rating Act of 19509 Anended to Major Temple
AFPDI? Exclude Military Sea Transportation Service
and Marine Employees
PUBLIC' LAW 85-101 APPROVED 11 July 1957. This measure amends the Performance
Rating Act of 1950 toexempt Marine employees of the Military Sea Transportation
Services from the provisions of that Act. The Performance Rating Act of 1950 re-
quired the submission of periodic performance ratings which are normally utilized
in determining elgibility for promotion and increases or decreases in salary.
Since Marine -employees9 'because of the nature of the employment9 do not ordinarily
serve. under the -same supervisor for a significant period of time and because
salaries and promotions of Marine employees are governed by other provisions of
law9 the apq~lication of the performance rating system to these employees did not
justify the cost of administering the program.

PUBLIC LAW 85?187 APPROVED 28 August 1957. This law authorizes the Secretary

Universal Military Training and Service Act (62 Stat. 608) provides that the
President may prescribe a system for selection or induction of persons qualified
in needed medical, dental, or allied specialist categories pursuant to requisitions
submitted by the Department of Defense. Also provides that persons so inducted
may not be held ineligible for appointment as a commissioned officer on the sole
ground that he is not a citizen of the United States. The provisions of this
amendment are designed to insure that the future needs of the Armed Forces for
doctors and dentists can be satisfied from among persons liable for induction

85-1 ARMY Academies, To Provide for the Number Major Philips
AFPDP of Foreign Cadets at Each
This proposal is to extend eligibility for attendance of foreign students
in the military academy, naval academy, and Air Force Academy by removing
certain legal restrictions as to nationality, and to provide that the maximum
number of foreign students at any one time shall not exceed 28 at the military
academy; 40 at the naval academy; and 30 at the Air Force Academy. The
number of vacancies to be filled each year is limited at the military academy
to seven, and at the naval academy to ten, and at the Air Force Academy to
seven in even years and eight in alternate years; without carry-over,, This
proposal increases present authorization of 21 per academy and provides new
authority for appointment of cadets from friendly foreign nations.
85-2 AI&IY Academy, Increase Presidential Major Philips
AFPDP Appointees to Military
By amendment of the Act of June 30, 1950, provides an increase of 211 each
in the number of Presidential appointments which may be made to the United States
Military Academy and United States Air Force Academy to conform to the increased
number of personnel eligible for such appointment. This increase in the number
of appointments will raise to 300 the number of cadets that can be in each of
the Academies by Presidential appointment. Under present authority a total of
89 cadets can be appointed by the President to the Academies from sons of service
personnel,, At the Military Academy, this limitation creates about 20 vacancies
annually whereas the number of applications for these vacancies average about
300 a year,, No actual experience is of course available with respect to the
recently authorized Air Academy, but it is expected that a comparable situation
will exist. Appointment of this type of personnel is highly desirable as they
are strongly motivated toward careers in the Army and Air Force.

AFPDP ing Appointments of Cadets and
Midshipmen
By new legislative enactment this proposal revises the methods of select-
ing candidates for appointment to the United States Military, Naval, and Air
Force Academies and repeals all inconsistent existing legislation,, The pro-
posal will place all principal and other authorized appointments to the three
service academies on an annual basis in order to equalize opportunities for those
persons desiring to enter any of the Academies. At present, there is in effect
one statute pertaining to appointments to the Naval Academy and another with
separate provisions pertaining to appointment to the Military and Air Force
Academies, with appointments allotted to nominating authorities on a cumulative
basis. The effect of this is that in a given year there may be no vacancies
for a particular nominating authority. Conversion to an annual basis will
insure that each nominating authority will have vacancies for eligible
appointees in any given year,,

at the United States Naval Academy shall be counted for computing basic pay of
members of the uniformed services and also for computing retired, retirement,
retainer or equivalent pay. No back pay and no service credit for retirement
would be granted. Proposed because students at the! academies are by law active
members of the regular service, because such service is creditable for enlisted
personnel who were former cadets or midshipmen, and because inactive service in
reserve components, college training time under V-12 program, and service while
003 training is all creditable for pay purposes,

ao A provision requiring that each graduated cadet and midshipman, if
tendered an appointment as a commissioned officer ~.n the Regular Army, Navy,
Marine Core or Air Force, will accept such appointment and serve thereunder
for not less than three consecutive years immediatfly following the date of
graduation,
b. A provision providing that no person. formerly a cadet or midshipman
may be appointed in any of the Regular services before the date on which his
classmates are so appointed and, further, providing that no such person, upon
appointment in any of the Regular services, may be credited with a period of
service greater than the service credited to any of his classmates who were
graduated Q
c, Aprovision stating that upon graduation of a cadet or midshipman, if
his -appointment in a Regular-service would result :Ln there being a number
of active 'list commissioned officers in that service in excess of the number
authorized for that service, that such number authorized shall be temporarily
increased to authorize the appointment and, furthe:^, it permits the Secretary
of the service in which the graduate is appointed -;o determine relative seniority
among grad.Liates of a given academy,
These changes are required because the Air Fo:^ce Academy Act permits cadets

Academy to state a preference for -appointment as commissioned -officers in the
Arntyy, Navy, Air Force or Marine Corps and to be -co;r.ssioned in the service of

AFM.LP Act of 1926 to authorize sale at
Government airports of supplies and
services to other than U.S. Government
planes under certain conditions
Present law allows the head of any Government agency having jurisdiction
over an airport owned or operated, by the Government to sell aircraft fuel, oil,
equipment, mechanical, service and shelter to civilian aircraft owners in case
of an emergency and when at all necessary to the continuance of such aircraft
on its course to the nearest airport operated by private enterprise. The
subject proposal would amend the law to allow this procedure when such a
salewould benefit the United States Government, This authority would be
most advantageous in the operation of civil air routes where Government
bases are regular or alternate points of landing,
85-10 NAVY To provide for the Regulation of the Major Kelly
AP PD Height, Type, and Use of Structures
and Objects of Natural Growth at or
Near Military Airports
Community growth around military air installations has created serious
problems, This proposal seeks to control these problems around existing in-
stalations and prevent their occurrence around future installations. Every
air installation tends to attract residential community development and in some
cases industrial development. Present available means have proved inadequate
to control this development,, Thus, the problems arise when the air in-
stallation, expanding in response to the demands of essential technological
progress, firxis its further development terminated by the expanding community,
Air space actually required for flight may be penetrated by structures or objects
of natural growwwth, or such structures as schools, theaters, or apartment house
dwellings may be erected on land below or near the flight paths In either case,
hazards are often created, and safety considerations dictate the curtailment of
vital operational and training needs of the air installation,, The legislation
proposes to cover both the prevention of future hazards and., under carefully
controlled procedures, the regulation of existing ones. In the first of these
situations where the ,.and is undeveloped, the military Secretary would examine
the requirements of the air installation and would publish regulations which
would delineate the height and use of property and structures located thereon,
PPrhere these regulations on the use of property would cause a reduction in

The purpose of the proposed legislation is to authorize the Secretary of
the Army to sell to a.private communication common carrier all of the plant,
properties and facilities of the Alaska Communication System over which the
Department of the Army has control and jurisdiction,. The system serves civilian
needs as well as military and is a financial liabil'..ty. It is believed that

This proposal would allow the Secretary of the Service concerned to grant
compensator; absence from duty to military personne:.-serving in certain isolated
units where conditions result in confinement or in Long periods of continuous
duty. To illustrate the problem within the Department of Defense, the following
example is ,pertinent. Approximately 30 bases within the Alaska Air Command
and the Northeast Air Command are most remote and inaccessible. These are
primarily aircraft control and manning units and radio relay stations with small
personnel complements. Many of these sites do not have the normally accepted
amenities of life. The proposal would amend the Arned Forces Leave Act of
1946 to authorize such compensatory absence.

85-17 AF Armed Fo ,es Leave Act, to Validate LtCol 09tonnell
AFPDP Certain ayrnents Thereunder
The purpose of this proposed legislation is (a) to validate payments of
accrued leave to personnel ordered to their homes prior to April 1, 1953,
pending retirement or separation from the service for physical diability, and
(b) to authorize the _Armed Services to order personnel to their homes in the
future to await final evaluation of their physical status and possible entitlement
to disability retirement or severance pay, without charging the time spent at
home to the membervs accrued leave if they are ultimately retired or separated
for physical disability. The Career Compensation Act of 1949 established pro-
cedures whereby no member of the services would be retired or separated for dis-
ability without a "full and fair hearings" if he demanded it. The procedure
necessarily involved a great amount of time, in some cases amounting to 90 days,
As a consequence members were ordered to their homes on a duty status rather
than on a leave status. This resulted in considerable saving in hospital bed
spaces, in staffing and administrative personnel, and in the elimination of the
morale problem associated with unnecessarily prolonged hospitalization.
85-18 ARMY Armed Forces Reserve Act, Amend Major Temple
AFPDP Sec, 243(b) Re Computation of Service
Necessary for Uniform Allowances
The purpose of this proposed legislation is to provide that Reserve officers
may combine service in the National Guard of the United States and the Army
Reserve or the Air National Guard of the United States and the Air Force Reserve
in computing the four years of satisfactory Federal service necessary to qualify
for the $50000 uniform allowance authorized in section 243(b) of the Armed Forces
Reserve Act of 1952, Included with this proposal is another amendment to the
same Act which now entitles a Reserve officer to the initial uniform allowance
provided he will perform duty requiring the wearing of the uniform. The
Comptroller General has ruled that the requirement for wearing the uniform also
applies to obtaining the $50.00 every four years and the $100000 for periods of
more than 90 days active duty, The proposal recognizes the fact that 50 points
are required for one year of satisfactory Federal service, Excluding the 15
points given for membership it is impossible for officers to obtain the remaining
35 points sole 11 from duty requiring the wear?irxg of the uniform. Therefore,
this proposal will authorize Reserve officers to obtain these allowances by
participating in duties not requiring the wearing of the uniform.
3520 ARMS Exemption of Certain Foreign Contracts LtCol Dereskevich
AFMP from Examination of Records Clause
This proposal would authorize the Secretaries of the military departments
to prescribe regulations which would authorize the omission of the examination
of records clause from certain contracts negotiated with foreign contractors,
including foreign governments and agencies thereof, to be performed outside the
limits of the United States and its territories and possessions, where such
omission is deemed to be in the best interests of the United States, The clause
in question provides that the Comptroller, General shall, for three years follow-
ing final payment, have access to, and the right to examine pertinent books,
documents, papers and records of the contractor or any of his sub-contractors,
The inclusion cf this clause in contracts with foreign contractors has resulted
ih considerable difficulty and delay in placing contracts, and in some instances,
has resulted in a failure to effect procurement of vitally needed and essential
military items This is particularly so in contracting with foreign governments
or agencies thereof since the requirement for such a clause involves a derogation
of sovereign rights.

under the Tort Claims Act or administratively under the Act of 3 July 1943. In
both instances a considerable amount of time is required before the claimant
receives any money at all. Base commanders have been embarrassed by their in-
ability to take any remedial action against the financial predicament of the
civilian victims of aircraft accidents. This legislative proposal would authorize

The purpose of this proposal is to raise the administrative settlement limit

struction of real or personal property and for personal injury or death
caused by military or civilian personnel of the Department of Defense while
acting within the scope'of their employment.
In addition, this proposal would allow the Secretaries of the Military
Services to make payment to a claimant, under the povisions of the Military
Claims At and the Foreign Claims Act, of the administrative settlement limit
of those acts, when such Secretary deems such claim to be meritorious, inan
amount exceeding such settlement limit, and so certifies the claim to the
Congress. The Military Claims Act permits payment for claims arising from
personal injuries or property damage or loss caused by civilian or military per-'
sonnel of the Defense Department while in the scope of their employment. The
Foreign Claims Act permits payments for claims arising from personal injuries
or desath, or property damage or loss caused by civilian or military personnel
of the military departments in foreign countries. Both acts permit
certific-ation to Congress of meritorious claims in excess of their administrative
settlement limit, but neither act now permits payment of the -settlement limit

Experience has demonstrated the need of providing a system of controlled in-
flight feeding, in order to insure attainment of utmost efficiency in flying
operations. Flying personnel presently receiving a monetary subsistence allow-
ance in lieu of rations must pay for food consumed during operational missions
or else provide their own meals. Because it has been medically established

lation to place the School on the same basis with respect to granting degrees
and credits as other recognized law schools throughout the United States. On
22 February 1955, the American Bar Association granted provisional approval
to the graduate program of the School. This association is the national

This proposal would authorize the Preside it, on such terms and conditions
he deems appropriate, to settle claims against other governments for reimburse-
merit for logistic support and other military assistance furnished such govern-
ments in assisting the United Nations effort in the Korean Conflict; it would
also grant the President similar authority where he takes future action
through the United Nations, or otherwise, to protect the security of the United
States by furnishing logistic support to governments which assist the United
States in such action; it provides that in settling such claims due con-
sideration is to be given to the military contribution of the recipient govern-
ment and to the ability of such government to equip and supply its own forces;
and it further provides that any reimbursements received shall be credited
to current applicable appropriations. The proposal also provides that logistic
support and other military assistance to members of the United Nations in Korea
should continue to be furnished during FY 1957 out of appropriations made to
the Department of Defense.,

8574 AF Medical. Officers, Professicnal Major Philips
(A.'CSG) Examination
Repeals existing-laws requiring professional examination to establish the
eligibility of medical, dental, and veterinary officers of the Army and Air
Force for permanent promotions. The reason for the proposal is that the require-
ment for professional examination has been outdated by the provisions of the
Officer Personnel Act of 1947 which established the dual procedure of effective-
ness reports and selection board review for determining the eligibility of
officers for promotion. The requirement for professional examinations, there-
fore, amounts to an unnecessary step and it has in tact been suspended almost
continually since the start of World War II. Repeal. of the laws requiring the
professional examinations is sought in order to eliminate the duplicative
procedure and reduce administrative expenses connected with it.
85-75 NAVY Medical Officers: Validate, Payment Lt Col Sweeney
(AFAFN) of Rental & Subsistence Allowance
By separate validating Act authorizes the retention by medical officers
of the Navy and Naval Reserves who were undergoing intern or residency train-
ing in civilian hospitals in a commissioned status cif stipends from those
hospitals in addition to the base pay., Also validates payments of allowances
for quarters and subsistence made to these officers notwithstanding that they
were receiving meals and quarters in kind from theses civilian hospitals. The
Comptroller General has ruled that the stipends received by these officers
from the civilian hospitals should be paid into the Federal Treasury and that
the officers should not be paid quarters and subsistence allowance. To require
recollectioi) now would create a grave morale problem in the medical corps at
a time when retention of medical officers is already extremely critical.
The Department of the Air Force has concurred in the Department of the
Navy proposal and has recommended that it be broadened to include Army and
Air Force medical officers in similar circumstances,'

credit for service as a member of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps after
May 14, 1942 and before September 30, 1943 to any person who subsequently per-
formed active military service in the Armed Forces. In addition, grants a
right of election for any such person to elect either VA pension or compensation
based on active military service or Federal Employees' Compensation for the
period in question. Legislation is desirable because service in the WRAC during
the period in question was not recognized as active military service even though
their status included most of the aspects of military service and did not differ
materially from service in the Waves, Marines and Spars which was recognized
as military service.

existing law would be amended to broaden present authority so as to permit the
Department of Defense to follow the commercial and industrial practice of
charging depreciation of machinery and equipment utilized in industrial and
commercial type operations as an item of cost. The Air Force contends that
costly administration would be required to distinguish charges which would have

This proposal would increase the number of officers of the Regular Navy
who may be appointed for limited duty only and to increase proportionately
the numbers of such officers who may serve in the various grades.
Under the Officer Personnel Act of 1947, a program was established
whereby certain commissioned warrant officers and petty officers with ex-
perience in the technical fields, such as electronics, were allowed com-
missions as'officers up to rank of commander. In order to retain in the
Navy a greater number of such personnel an increase in the authorization
to commission them as officers is,proposed.
85-106 NAVY Officer Personnel Act, Amend Re Pay Lt Col O'Connell
(AFPDP) and Allowances of Flag and General
Officers
The Officer Personnel Act of 1947 authorizes the President to designate
active list officers of the Navy and Marine Corps for certain commands (such
as Commander in Chief Pacific) and for the performance of duties of great
importance and responsibility (such as Chairman of the JCS). Officers so
designated are entitled to the grade, rank, pay and allowances of an ad-
miral, vice admiral or lieutenant general, as the case may be. However, if
an officer is detached from one such position, even for the specific purpose
of assuming another such position, of equal or greater importance, he must
revert to his regular grade, rank, pay and allowances from the time of detach-
ment until he assumes the new duties. By amendment to the Officer Personnel
Act, this proposal would entitle such an officer, during the interval after
detachment and before assumption of new duties, to the grade, rank, pay and
allowances of either the old or the new position, whichever is lower.
85-107 NAVY Officer Personnel Act, Amend Sec. Major Philips

grades captain and commander than the percentage of eligible line officers
selected to the same grades during the same fiscal years. Since the per-
centage which may be selected is usually far less than the number of eligible
Medical and Dental officers, the Navy is experiencing a forced attrition of
these critically needed specialists. By amendment to the OPA, this proposal
would permit selection of all eligible Medical and Dental officers.

the medical. services or corps, for interservice transfer of officers. Such
authority is extremely desirable since organizational changes, changes in
missions,, and technological advances in modern military art frequently make
it desirable to transfer officers of one service -who have specialized techni-
cale, professional, or scientific training and experience to another service
which has need of their special ability. Without such authority for transfer,
the only method is for the officer-concerned to resign and be reappointed in
the other service but in so doing he suffers loss of precedence and rank and
in some'instances is barred by age restriction from being reappointed in the

sions contained in the annual Appropriation Acts.
These activities are divided into 25 nonrelated topical sections as follows:
Clothing and cash for prisoners upon their release; subsistence, quarters and
supplies for inductees; travel expense for fraudulent enlistment or minority;
rations for Reserve officers on duty eight or more hours; civilian clothing for
enlisted servicemen discharged for bad conduct, undesirability, unsuitability,
inaptitude or other than honorable; reward for apprehending deserters and es-
capees; care, maintenance and subsistence of prisoners-of-war or internees;
permits duties of the librarian at the U. S. Military Academy to be performed by
a retired officer; permits retired personnel to work at Soldiers, Home; authorizes
service Secretaries to approve minor construction; permits military construction
without sketch plan and cost estimate by the Administrator of General Services,
also permits acquisition of land and interests without prior approval of title by
the Attorney General; permits utility services without reimbursement for private
welfare organizations on military installations; provides ammunition for military
salutes; provides for travel and other expenses of the National Board for the
Promotion of Rifle Practice; provides for expenses for travel and subsistence of
students for inter-American cooperation- provides for settlement of National
Guard claims; permits hiring of National Guard caretakers without regard to their
military rank; provides for travel expenses of National Guard inspectors while
inspecting as required by National Guard regulations; provides for emergency
and extraordinary expenses for the Secretaries of the services and the Secretary
of Defense; provides for rapid repayment of erroneously collected money; changes
the wording of appropriation instructions so that funds remain available until
expended; provides for care of soldierst graves and monuments; repeals certain
physical examination requirements- rewards for missing Government property
(torpedoes and guided missiles); flexibility in research and development contracts
for the purchase of test facilities; and provides for delegation and redelegation
authority.
The legislation will provide exchange facilities in overseas areas wherein
the exchange is the only means whereby personnel may obtain every-day items of
necessity.

(AFOJE) of Real
This proposal would authorize the Department of Defense to dispose of real
property of substantial value which is being used fDr essential purposes and
to acquire and/or construct less costly substitute facilities to accommodate
the ;same function more economically and efficiently.
In a number of -cases, property that could be said is being retained because
there'is no assurance that funds will be provided tD acquire the replacement.
Many of the potentially saleable properties are of exceptionally high value, due
to industrial, commercial and residential development that has encompassed them.
Thereare instances of community expansion being frustrated by continued Govern-
ment ownership of such property, and benefits to local communities are being
denied due to an inability to devote such property to its highest and best uses.
Under present procedures, there is an interval of about eighteen months be-
tween the tine acquisitions are programmed until funds areavailable to complete
the transaction. During this interval, there is no'assurance that the funds
requested for such purposes will be provided. As a consequence, the disposal
of'p:'operty subject to the acquisition of replacements cannot be planned con-
currently. The result is that highly valuable properties which could be sold,
if replaced,, are retained.
The Director of the Bureau of the Budget would be given authority to
approve the proposed transactions and to permit, at its discretion, the use
of real property sale proceeds which are deposited in a special account in
the 'Creasu:rr to defray certain expenses incident to such disposal, acquisition
or construc?,ion.

of provisions regardless of his geographical location or changes in economic

and increase the capacity for cross-servicing in the Army, Navy, Air Force.. and

5 Decercber 1955 that they could not qualify for trave:. and transportation bene-
fits under PV1:lic Law 368. As a result, these reservo members were and now are
entitled to travel and transportation benefits only to the home of record upon
entry into service. The purpose of this proposed legislation, therefore. is to
provide authority for the payment of travel and transportation allowances to
those members of the reserve components who were-retired, placed on the temporary
disability list, or discharged, before August 11s 195Ja, who could not perform
travel within one year after that retirements placement on the temporary disabi-

The purpose of this legislation is to provide for the payment of a uniform
-gratuity to enlisted men of the Regular Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps
and certain other persons upon initial, temporary, or permanent appointments to
commissioned ctr warrant grades in the Regular Service equivalent to the gratu-
ities authorized to be paid to Reserve Officers. Enlisted men of the Regular
Services who are initially appointed to a permanent commissioned status receive
no assistance in the necessarily heavy expenditures for uniforms incident to the
change from enlisted to commissioned status. Also there is no authority for pay-
ing uniform allowances to technical specialists tendered a permanent commission
direct from civilian status.

The purpose of this legislation is to amend the Armed Forces Reserve Act of
1952 to authorize officers of the National Guard of the United States and of the
Air National Guard of the United States not on active duty to be designated as
competent authority to order members of the National Guard of the United States

this proposal would reinstate the basic allowance for quarters to Service members
without dependents for the periods they are in a delay en route or leave status
between permanent duty stations. Prior to the DAA of 1950, quarters allowances
were payable in such circumstances and the Department of the Army contends that
it was not the intent of section 102 of the,1950 Act to preclude such payments;
however, the language used did, in fact, preclude them.

posal would take away such right for a commissioned officer given a general dis-

AFPDP (84th Congress), Exemption of Mili-
tary Personnel from Executing
By amendment of the Act of August 9p 1955 (69 Stat. 624)9 excepts members of
the armed forces from the requirement of executing the affidavit prescribed there-
in. The Act of August 9. 1955, prohibits persons accepting or holding office or
employment in the Government from (1) advocating the overthrow of our constitu-
tional form of Government,, (2) knowingly joining an organization which so advocates.
(3) participating in or asserting the right to strike against the Government, or
(4) knowingly joining an organization of Government employees which asserts the right
to strike. All persons accepting a Government office or employment after August 9D
1955, are required to execute affidavits signifying that they are not in violation
of this law. The Department of Defense believes that penalties for the conduct pre-
scribed by the Act already apply to members of the armed forces under the Uniform
Code of Military Justice. Therefore., the affidavit requirement imposes an unneces-
sary administrative burden on the armed forces. Enactment of this proposal would
remove that burden.

AFPDP to Authorize T,?a.iler Allowance for Surviving
Dependents
By amendment of the Career Compensation Act, this proposal authorizes the
payment of a trailer allowance, in lieu of transportation of baggage and house-
hold goods, for dependents of members who die on active duty. The Career Incentive
Act of 1.955 authorized the payment of a trailer allowance for members of the uni-
formed cervices who move a trailer within the continental United States for use as a
residence. The allowance is payable only to a member entitled to transportation
of baggage and household effects, and is paid in lieu of such transportation at the
members" elect:Lon. The Comptroller General has held that the dependents of a mem-
ber could not exercise the election in the event of they death of a member on
active d.uty even though transportation of dependents, Jihe baggage, and household
effects is authorized. The ruling has caused hardship for survivors of members
whose trailers constitute their entire household.
85-180 OSD Career Compensation Act, Amend to Revise LtCol Paffel
AFPDP Pay and Allowances, and for other pur-
poses
Corrdiner recommendations cover a new pay system for officer and enlisted per-
sonnel and a Reserve officer term retention plan. In the case of officers, the
longevity system-pay/rank inversions under the present compensation system are
eliminated and. the recommended pay scale relieves pay Wompression and affords a
significant pay goal of ultimate achievement intended to make the entire officer
career more attractive financially. Over the years the officer pay scales have be-
come compressed to the extent that the differential between grades has been squeezed
so small as to leave little or no pay incentive for prDmotion to a higher grade.
The recommended pay scale relieves this condition.
In the case of enlisted personnel the proposal expands the grade structure
through the addition of two new pay grades, E-8 and E-9, to relieve compression at
the top of the present-structure, to provide a broader pricing base as an improved
management tool for military job evaluation, and permit more accurate and equitable
correla-;ion of rank and pay with responsibility, individual contribution, and train-
ing investment.
The proposal substitutes the "step-in-grade" method for the present cumulative
service longevity system; and provides a pay scale incorporating a "proficiency
pay" additive as a selective incentive in critical areas of low retention experi-
ence and high training investment in the enlisted structure. Beginning with Grade
E-1+, this "proficiency pay" additive allows for selective one and two pay grade
advances, without increased military rank, as a means for awarding proficiency pay,
depending on level of proficiency reached in technical specialties. These pro-
ficiency advances will entitle the recipient to all pay and allowances of the higher
grade involved. Also reenlistment bonuses for recipients of proficiency advances
will be calculated on the basis of their proficiency say grade.
The term retention contract for Reserve officers is embodied in DOD 85-184

85-182 Navy Dual Compensation and Dual Office Holding Maj Temple
AFPDP Acts, Repeal Dual Compensation Act.and Make
Dual Office Holding Statute Inapplicable to
Military Officers
By amendment of section 29 of the Act of August 10, 1956, and by repeal of
section 212 of the Act of June 30, 1932, permits the Federal Government to employ
a retired'officer of the Armed Forces in any Civil Service position for which he
is suited by reason of his experience, background, and ability. The existing
limitations of the Dual Employment Act of 1894 and the Dual Compensation Act of
1932 combined to preclude most retired regular officers of the Armed Forces from
being employed by the Federal Government. Apart from the fact that the prohibition
operated only against regular officers retired for length of service, and not
against retired enlisted personnel, reserve officers, or to a whole list of
special situations, the employment of these experienced regular officers would be
of great benefit to the Government.
85-183 Navy To amend the Career Compensation Act of LtCol O'Connell
P 1949 to provide active-duty-extension .
bonuses for members of reserve components
of the uniformed services
The purpose of this proposed legislation is to amend the Career Compensation
Act of 1949, as amended, to authorize the payment of bonuses to enlisted members
of reserve components who, upon completing at least four years of continuous active
duty, sign agreements to remain on active duty for an additional two, three, or
four years. The bonuses would be computed as follows:
For the first agreement - One-half of the member's monthly basic pay
multiplied by the number of years he agrees to
remain on active duty.
For the second agreement - One-third of the member's monthly basic pay
multiplied by the number of years he agrees to
remain on active duty.
For the third (and any subsequent) agreement - One-sixth of the member's
monthly basic pay multiplied by the number of
years he agrees to remain on active duty.

member has hJ.s dependents living with him in other than Government quarters. Also
-provides the Service Secretary with authority to direct the payment of an allotment
by the member to his dependents when such member is separated from his family.
85-186 Al;! Quarters Allowance, Amend Sec. 102(g), LtCol O'Connell
Career Compensation Act, re Quarters Allow-
ance for Husband & Wife Members 'of the Service
To removre two inequities in the Career Compensation Act. First, to provide
where a husband and wife are both members of the military services and are assigned
to the same or adjacent post that the senior member i.s entitled to a basic allow-
ance for qua::rters of a member with dependents. If either member voluntarily occupies
government quarters intended for a member without dependents, neither member will be
entitled to Increased basic allowance. The junior member will not be entitled to
any basic allowance for quarters so long as the senior member is entitled to such.
Second, to deplete from section 102(g), Career Compensation Act, the requirement
of actual residency in the household of a member where the member claims the allow-
ances based ~.pon his factual support of parents who are more than one-half depen-
dent upon hi a..

AFPDP 10, USC, Relating to Promotions and Retire-

A complex proposal designed to alleviate the stagnation related to the Navy
"hump", in its regular officer strength, by removing from the active list those
officers who are eligible for retirement and whose performance of duty is in-
ferior in quality as compared to those officers who were promoted or selected for
retention. The Bureau of the Budget has given a conditional clearance which re-
quires deletion of the gratuitous retirement credit provisions and revision into
permanent instead of temporary legislation.
85-188 AF Civilian Employees, to Grant Re-employment Maj Philips
AFPDP Rights to Certain Employees Assigned Over-
seas
By separate authorizing Act, authorizes the head of a military department
to grant re-employment rights to career and career conditional civilian em-
ployees assigned to an area outside the 48 States and the District of Columbia
at the request of that department. Re-employment rights granted would be to
the position last held prior to overseas assignment or to an equivalent posi-
tion. The Armed Forces feel that this authority is necessary to motivate well
qualified key civilian employees to accept overseas assignment beneficial both
to themselves and to the Armed Forces.
85=191 Navy Career Compensation Act, Amend Sec 303(a) LtCol O'Connell

travel and transportation allowances to members for travel performed on a change
of permanent station where PCS is primarily for compassionate or humanitarian
reasons. Comptroller General's Decision B-117577 dated 16 June 1955 precludes
such payment in the case of compassionate reassignment.

AFPDD other purposes
The effect of this proposed legislation would e iminate the Veterinary Corps
as a special branch of the Department of the Army. This proposal permits trans-
fer to other special branches of the Army of officer:n commissioned in or assigned
to the: Veterinary Corps and provides for equitable treatment with respect to pro-
motior, of individuals so transferred.
The Department of the Navy does not have a veterinary corps. The Depart-
ment of the lir Force does not have a veterinary corps established by statute.
Its veterinary corps is set up by a General Order for the purpose of professional
identification of personnel assigned thereto. For the purpose of uniformity
among the Services this corps will also be eliminated by administrative action and
officers currently assigned thereto will be redesignated and reassigned within
the Air Forcc. The proposed bill would, among other things, eliminate the statu-
tory authority to designate Air Force officers assigned to veterinary functions
as veterinary officers.
85-191. 0&(1D Education of Dependents, Establish Maj Philips
AFPDP Personnel Administration System for
Department of Defense Schools it Foreign

By separate authorizing act, provides a system for personnel administration
for school teachers and certain school officers and cther employees of the Depen-
dents Schools of the Department of Defense in foreign areas. System established
would compare to that found in the majority of public primary and secondary
school jurisdictions in the United States and in the District of Columbia.
Experience withsome 292 schools in foreign areas has convinced the-Department
of Defense that application of existing regular -Civil.Service regulations to the
approximately 3360 teachers employed by the Departmert of Defense is not appro-
priate because of the seasonal nature of their employment.

the Government under specified emergency conditions to allot pay for support of
their dependents, to draw up to thirty days advance lay, and to-continue drawing
pay for up to six months notwithstanding evacuation from their place of duty.
Enactment of this legislation will enable all departments and agencies of the
Government to formulate emergency financial plans for their officers and employees
and their dependents in the event of military emerger,cy requiring them to evacuate
their places of duty.

Law 130, 83d Congress, an expiring law, and would authorize the Secretaries of
the three military departments to acquire, construct, establish, expand, re-
habilitate, convert, and install. industrial facilities for defense production
or for mobilization reserve. The Department of Defense has a related proposal
(DOD 85-65) which would provide a permanent extension of the authority under
Public Law 130, and which would clarify existing permanent authority of the
military departments presently found expressly or by implication in diverse
statutory provisions. This proposal (DOD 85-214) was intended to be held in

This is a proposal to remove an inconsistency between sections 207 and 208 of

occur in order for a member to be entitled to reenlistment bonuses. Section 207
authorizes a bonus if enlistment occurs "within three months" of date of discharge.
Section 208 authorizes a bonus if reenlistment occurs within 90 days of discharge.
Reenlistees have been receiving the increased bonus for enlisting within three
months'which could mean within 91 or 92 days. Thus overpayments occur. Purpose
is to allow the use of "three months" in both sections.
