"I feel that the whole problem should be carefully studied in all its phases by a group of citizens equipped by background and training to counsel the Government and assist it in formulating a program ..."

"It would not be the part of wisdom to destroy such records until their value has disappeared."

"I recommend the establishment of an 'Office of Selective Service Records.'"
