Where will the decisions be made as to what layers to cut out, how many jobs to eliminate, whatever you do to streamline it? Mr. Atwood: That will be up to the service secretaries and up to the two under secretaries to work their own departments. Q: What happens to the Air Force Systems Command? Does it continue in existence? Does it get merged with a logistics command? Mr. Atwood: I don't want to answer the specific question because the Air Force is undertaking a review of how they will implement what we've asked and that includes their review of the Systems Command; their functions; and the Logistics Command. I think within the next period of time, probably by the end of September, we'll have a fairly definitive report on how that organizational setup will be accomplished.

Until a final plan is formulated, it would be premature to speculate about any downsizing of our work force. Keep in mind that almost half of the AFLC work force is directly involved in the maintenance and repair of aircraft and systems already in the Air Force inventory. And the bulk of our procurement people are largely involved in the buying of spare parts and equipment for these already-fielde- d weapon systems. The Air Force will obviously be looking at many options between now and Oct. 1, the deadline for specific recommendations for streamlining or restructuring. AFLC expects this to be an extremely involved and studied effort that will draw upon the command's best expertise. . end at 1:20 p.m. Kindergarten preferences will be on basis. a School lunch prices are 85 cents per meal, $4.25 per week or $17 per month for elementary school students.

They're a very important element of it. The civilians in the entire Acquisition Corps the Service Acquisition Executives are right nowv civilians, and a large number of those who are under them are civilians. And much of the acquisition the under secretary of defense for acquisition is civilian and has many civilians under Elementary students may register Aug. 8; grades 1 6 start Aug. 28 hours.

Field! sclh)D Registration for Hill Field Elementary School and all kindergarten stu- r dents will begin Aug. 8. Initial registration will last from 8 a.m. to noon. Late registration can be done any time after that during office him. It's equally important that we have a dedicated, highly trained acquisition civilian corps. The following statements were issued by Head- mand and the Air Systems Command. Why is such a review necessary? Is there some of that added work going on in those two v ...... areas? , Mr. Atwood: Number one, we feel it's essential' that we give the service secretary and his service chief head the opportunity to work out the details of this plan themselves and to come up with their best recommendation as to how it should be implemented as opposed to someone sitting on the front row working it out for them. Q: Why do you not include civilians in the Acquisition Corps idea? There's a lot of interest in Congress in creating a ''civilian acquisition BgeiOO first-serve- d . school.

Kevin Smith Hill AFB Law Center - . be told jthat, somehow, the service contract papers had never been sent off, and that there was no contract in V"'-effect. Of course, the airman had legal rights against the dealer, who may have even planned to keep the money paid for the service contract, in hopes that there would never be a claim for service. But, the mere possession of legal rights isn't much solace if a trip to court, or the services of an attorney are required to vindicate them. Consequently, any person who buys a contract for service, or an extended warranty with the purchase of a car, should be sure he receives a copy of the contract or warranty within two to three weeks at most. If there is difficulty in obtaining these documents, buyers should contact the Utah State Motor Vehicle Division, Investigations Office, located at the Utah State Fairgrounds in Salt Lake City. The phone number for the office is ; People who are planning to purchase, or who have recently purchased a new or used automobile, should be aware of a potential problem related to service, or extended warranty contracts. An airman came into the office at the Staff Judge Advocate recently who had bought a used car from a dealer in the local area. As part of the deal, the airman had paid more than $500 for a one-yeservice contract. The airman had been told that his service contract would be sent to him in the mail. However, the contract did not arrive, even after he had called the dealer to check up on it. Then a problem arose with the car which required service: The airman took the car back to the dealer, only to ar 538-840- 0.
