THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
WASHINGTON
14 DEC 1950
IMMORANDUM FOR TIE PRESIDENT
Enclosed are swimary statements of forces recommended
by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 6 December 1950, and trans-
mitted to this Office on 11 December 1950, together with
a copy of General Bradley's covering menorandum. The forces
outlined in the enclosed summary statements are the forces
that were, on 1 September 1950, recomended as the target
for 1 July 1954. I conour in the recommendation of the Joint
Chiefs that we should build to these forces as soon as prac-
ticable, with a target date not later than 30 June 1952.
Studies are underway within the Department of Defense
at the present time to deternine the magnitude of the procure-
ment program which will need to be entered into to support
these forces. As soon as such information is developed, it
will be made available to the National Security Council.
