New Law To Cost More Washington
James W. Forrestal, the nation’s first defense secretary, indicated that unifying the armed forces under a single Cabinet officer will initially raise costs but may reduce payroll size through lean administrative staff. He stressed autonomy for Army Navy and Air Force branches and warned the master defense plan will take time to develop. The law, he said, is the most decisive step since the Republic’s founding toward a national military policy and reflects broad support despite dissent over centralized control.
