Its record is one of distinction, and the Nation’s grat- itude: goes out to-all those respon- fible for the efficient administration of: that system, as well as to the millions of selected men who served ‘with éuch courage and devotion. From now on'we are engaged in & great test, to see whether a sys- tem traditionally American in peacetime—the volunteer system— can give us the stable, well-trained Regular Army our current interna- tional commitments require. We have come to a crucial turn- ing point in the development of our military establishment. Building an all-volunteer Regular Army is not ajob for the War Department alone; it is a job for the American people —t tatk of writing the insurance against the chaos of another war. retary or Clerk-as the case may be, of the House in which it did originate, entered on the‘ Journal of each house. The same com- mittee shall report the day of presentation to the Governor, which shall also be carefully en- tered. on the Journal of each If the Senate amends the bill passed by the House, it must be returned to the House for the concurrence in the Senate’s amendment. When the House and Senate are at loggerheads and have difficulty in agreeing on an ‘amendment, a Conference Com- mittee, composed of selected members of both Senate and House, is named to try to work out a compromise agreement. After a bill shall have been passed by the House and Senate and. transmitted to the Governor, he may (1) approve it, (2) veto become law by fail ® Here are the basic facts: To carry out our present assignments, we must maintain the Regular Army _at.a strength of 1,070,000 men. This will require a constant flow into the Army of 30,000 men a month. These men must be of high quality, and every one must be a volunteer. Thus we face a persistent question: Can we do the job? The task is enormous. Never before have we even considered raising and maintaining a peace- time Regular Army of a million volunteers. There are no sign-posts to go by, no experience on which to base sure forecasts. But such ob- stacles. have never deterred this Nation before. I have confidence in the young men of America; whose opportu- nity it is to choose this fine profes- sion. And I believe we can do the job—if we have three things: public understanding, public support and public action.
