Sincerely, Henry H. Smith Public Information Officer During the later years of the Vietnam Conflict, and on into the Watergate era, the great green turtle of the Department of Defense put its head into its shell and muffled its voice. The reason was simple, the general public had grown sick of war in whatever form, the wearing of the uniform in public was quite distasteful, and . there .was a general distrust of any The Deseret Sampler public employee.

JULY is i.L . Withholding information to save an individuals career is neither necessary or desirable in the 80s. Honest mistakes will always occur, but hiding them will do nothing but create exposes in tomorrows papers. PERHAPS the biggest challenge facing the PAO field is convincing the people that we are not hiding anything dark and sinister from them. There will always be classified information needing safeguarding, but with the homegrown and legislated constraints on classification, only that which is essential will be withheld, and the leaders will police this efficiently and effectively. The coming decade will be a chal-- . lenging one in many respects. Many changes in defense are on the horizon, many more are on the drawing boards. How we as a people perceive their importance will in many cases determine their fate. , . it is an exciting decade to be in PAO where our job is defending the defenders from ignorance and apathy. 1981 U n sv THROUGH cooperation we have the opportunity to maintain the awareness of the American people and maintain our forces at their peak.

But it will be far easier to get the money for these units with the awareness that CBS news has focused on the problem. CBS is not the only network working on this. ABCs 2020 did an excellent piece last week on the condition of the carrier Navy and why we need more money for ship building programs. NBC has alsoworked on several white paper reports on the subject. We can expect more emphasis on defense as the 80s progress.
