It must be equally clear that the Air Materiel Command is doing some of the most important work in the world, work that is vital to the Nation's welfare and security. The United States possesses a' deterrent force today which is understood by every nation. We must' face the fact realistically that this protective force can be either weakened, or maintained and strengthened; depending upon the way we use the time and - resources we have to carry out our mission during the critical weeks and months which lie immediately before us. Unless each individual in AMC understands the urgency of procuring, supplying and maintaining equipment for the Air Force, we will not have the airpower we need to provide the quality and dispersal of striking and protective forces through SAC, TAC and ADC. Scientific development and industrial potential are meaningless if they cannot be translated rapidly into operational weapons. This places, without question, extraordinary and crucial responsibility directly in the hands of every military and civilian member of this Command. AMC is not an electronic brain; it is a human instrument, made up of people. We will succeed in the tremendous task, within the limitation of time, only if each person pursues his own work with the sense of urgency which our mission demands. E. W. RAWLINGS, General, USAF, f.
