KX 6520 and KX 6519 - This couple lived in the two-room tar

paper shack with no conveniences. They had little income and no

relatives to assist them in relocating. An early purchase was made

in order to give plenty of time to search for replacement property.

Transportation was furnished and replacement property was found one block

from a U.S. highway. Whereas the couple had been six miles from the

nearest store, they are now one block from bus services, surrounded by

neighbors, and near a brother-in-law who can help them then the need

arises. An additional instance in which we were able to help these people

was to let them know about the benefits that were available to them under

the new Veterans Administration pension plan. He had not taken advantage

of it previously because he had heard a rumor that he would loose his

hospital privileges if he did take advantage of the VA offering. The

only income had been a veteran's disability pension and the additional $29 under

the new plan was welcome.

Sir

If the government should desire to employ any volunteers in this Indian War I should be glad to raise a regiment of infantry (or cavalry) to be enlisted for the war unless sooner discharged

In the present state of public feeling and depression in labor I could raise a regiment of excellent material in ten days and officered by young gentlemen who can pass an examination in Uptown tactics- In thirty days after organization I could have the regiment very well drilled and in a condition to make a creditable appearance in the field.

I suppose it would be cheaper to enlist the necessary men in the west but I think the cost of transportation

would be more than balanced

by the superior quality of the officers

from the east - in addition the

men from the west do not fall on

readily into habits of subordination

as men coming from the older

states.

I have the honor

Very respecfully

NATIONAL SECURITY DECISION

DIRECTIVE NUMBER 5

CONVENTIONAL ARMS TRANSFER POLICY

The challenges and hostility toward fundamental United States

interests, and the interests of its friends and allies, have

grown significantly in recent years. These trends threaten

stability in many regions and impede progress toward greater

political and economic development.

The United States cannot defend the free world's interests

alone. The United States must, in today's world, not only

strengthen its own military capabilities, but be prepared to

help its friends and allies to strengthen theirs through the

transfer of conventional arms and other forms of security

assistance. Such transfers complement American security

commitments and serve important United States objectives.

Prudently pursued, arms transfers can strengthen us.

The United States therefore views the transfer of conventional

arms and other defense articles and services as an essential

element of its global defense posture and an indispensable

component of its foreign policy. Applied judiciously, arms

transfers can:

-- help deter aggression by enhancing the states of

preparedness of allies and friends;

-- increase our own armed forces' effectiveness by

improving the ability of the United States, in concert with

its friends and allies, to project power in response to threats

posed by mutual adversaries;

-- support efforts to foster the ability of our forces to

deploy and operate with those of our friends and allies, thereby

strengthening and revitalizing our mutual security relationships;

-- demonstrate that the United States has an enduring

interest in the security of its friends and partners, and that

it will not allow them to be at a military disadvantage;

-- foster regional and internal stability, thus en-

couraging peaceful resolution of disputes and evolutionary

change; and

-- help to enhance United States defense production

capabilities and efficiency.

Attainment of these objectives in turn requires effective

United States Government control and direction over arms

transfers. Because of the diversity of United States security

interests, this Administration will tailor its approach to

arms transfer requests to specific situations and exercise

sufficient flexibility to respond promptly to changes affecting

the mutual interests of the United States and its allies and

friends. We will review such requests with care.

The United States will evaluate requests primarily in terms

of their net contribution to enhanced deterrence and defense.

It will accord high priority to requests from its major

alliance partners and to those nations with whom it has

friendly and cooperative security relationships. In making

arms transfer decisions the United States will give due

EXECUTIVE ORDER

-------

REAFFIRMING POLICY OF FULL PARTICIPATION IN THE DEFENSE PROGRAM BY ALL PERSONS, REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, COLOR OR NATIONAL ORGIN AND DIRECTING CERTAIN ACTION IN FURTHERANCE OF SAID POLICY.

WHEREAS it is the policy of the United States to encourage full participation in the national defense program by all citizens of the United States, regardless of race, creed, color, or national origin, in the firm belief that the democratic way of life within the Nation can be defended successfully only with the help and support of all groups within its borders; and

WHEREAS there is evidence that available and needed workers have been barred from employment in industries engaged in defense production solely because of considerations of race, creed, color, or national origin, to the detriment of workers' morale and of national unity:

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statues, and as a prerequisite to the successful conduct of our national defense production effort, I do hereby reaffirm the policy of the United States that there shall be no discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries ^or government^ because of race, creed, color or national origin, and I do hereby declare that it is the duty of employers and of labor organizations, in furtherance of said policy and of this order, to provide for the full and equitable participation of all workers in defense industries, without discrimination because of race, creed, color, or national origin;

And it is hereby ordered as follows:

1. All departments and agencies of the Government of the United States concerned with vocational and training programs for defense production shall take special measures appropriate to assure that such programs are administered without discrimination because of race, creed, color, or national origin; 

2. All contracting agencies of the Government of the United States shall include in all defense contracts hereafter negotiated by them a provision obligating the contractor not to discriminate against any worker because of race, creed, color or national origin;

3. There is established in the Office of Production Management a Committee on Fair Employment Practice, which shall consist of a chairman and four other members to be appointed by the President. The chairman and members of the Committee shall serve as such without compensation but shall be entitled to actual and necessary transportation, subsistence and other expenses incidental to performance of their duties. The Committee shall receive and investigate the complaints of discrimination in violation of the provisions of this order and shall take appropriate steps to redress grievances which it finds to be valid. The Committee shall also recommend to the several departments and agencies of the Government of the United States and to the President all measures which may be deemed by it necessary or proper to effectuate the provisions of this order.
