The cancellation stemmed from a congressional mandate to reduce appropriated funds. In a message sent by Gen. Alfred G. Hansen, commander of AFLC, the decision to cut back has been reversed, but Morale, Welfare and Recreation Division officials are being asked to hold the line on expenditures. "I recognize the value of the command sports and recreation program and the esprit de corps it provides our troops," said General Hansen. "Therefore, as a result of our obtaining some relief, coupled with aggressive action by our MWR folks to reduce overhead and expenses, I am reinstating this program. We will use the training camp concept to select our AFLC teams to participate at Air Force level com- petition." According to General Hansen, there is a definite need to support military athletes who have been identified to participate in AFLC and Air Force training camps. "Your support of MWR has enabled us to provide y a program to our Air Force community," said the general "We must continue to provide this support to further enhance our MWR programs and activities."
