House Armed Services committee approved a bill to authorize an Air Force Academy patterned after West Point and Annapolis. If enacted, the school would begin about 1956 with roughly 300 cadets, expanding to about 2500 and 500 graduates annually, using an existing facility until a permanent site is built. Site location and final decision lie with the Secretary of the Air Force with a commissioning of a review commission.
