Gen. Laurence S. Kuter, Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, regarding officer promotions, the Air Force has issued another announcement explaining the situation further. At present the Air Force can only promote officers to fill vacancies as they occur and as legislative restrictions permit, the announcement explained. Plans call for the convening of selection boards this fall to establish "recommended lists." The number of officers on these lists, however, will be based on anticipated relief, legislation rather than present limitations. Relief legislation, the announcement indicated, "may be enacted in the second half of the fiscal year." Promotions from permanent colonel to temporary brigadier general are pending, however, because promotion vacancies in the upper grades must be filled if overages are to be avoided and vacancies are to be created in the lower grades. Although the officer strength has increased in proportion to the expansion of the Air Force, the announcement reiterated, the number of general officers has been limited to a strength related to a Air Force. With the development of the program, Congress has relaxed this limitation. The promotions will bring the Air Force closer to its requirement and provide additional promotion vacancies in the grade of captain through colonel. ; V Deputy State Auditor "' iB-- O 2 YEARS ! J ?
