Our objective in this legislation is to tie together the component units of our land. sea. and air J.ULY 19 forces into an efficient fighting combination under the direction of a aingle coordinating head.: Arguments have been advanced that the Secgetary of Defense will have more power than has ever been given to an elected individual. At the present time. we have 10 executive departments. each headed by a Cabinet officer. Our Military and Naval Establishments have two Cabine t officers. To my mind. it would be just as logical to have two Secretaries representing the Interior Department or the Agriculture Department in the Presidents Cabinet. It takes no immigration to realize the confusion that would cause. The President is the Commander in Chief of our armed forces. The defense of our country is only one of the many of his duties.
