"The Packard commission has made its recommendations; now it's time for the administration and the Congress to act upon them."

"This new effort takes place against a background of national defenses that have already grown much stronger."

"The Packard commission report urges the Congress to make a number of improvements in the way it deals with defense."

"Some recommendations can be acted upon without congressional approval, and under Secretary Weinberger's leadership this is taking place."
