3. End strengths for Services at the end of FY 1959:
Arny
870,000
Navy
630,000
Air Force
850,000
Merine Corps
175,000
These strengths will permit theretention of 2 Divisions in Korea
and 5 Divisions in NATO, and the minimum Air Force requirements of
Norstad through CY 1959.
Note that there will be reduction in the
National Guard and Reserves
The present agreed expenditure allocation for FY 1958 is $38.670
billion.
To carry out several augmentation programs now scheduled,
1t will be necessary to make approximately $411 million more NOA
available during FY 1958. Possibly one-half of this amount could be
met by transfers of existing funds. The other half will have to be
met either by a supplemental appropriation request or deferring certain
FY 1958 programs so as to utilize the funds thus made available.
The
total NOA of $411 million would increase the present FY 1958 expenditure
allocation of $38.670 billion, by $91 million.

Secretary McElroy pointed out at the conclusion of Secretary McNeil'‘s
presentation that it was going to be very difficult to come to a definite
decision with respect to acceleration of the Intermediate Range Ballistic
Missile Program. The 570 million dollars for IRBM acceleration would
permit 16 squadrons of JUPITER or THOR by 1963.
Before deciding on
further acceleration, Secretary McElroy thought he needed more discussion
