iidit and analysis of
fcrtiiting efforts of all four

ividuals who are unfit or
nsuiled for military ser-
Senator Nunn, chairman of
(he Senate Armed Services
subcommittee on manpower
and personnel, wrote, “Our
Hf.ubcommiltee urgently needs

serious these practices are so
•x( hat we can more accurately
Jassess the overall quality of
Recruits and the effectiveness
W the recruiting effort.”

Nunn Sets Goals
For Productivity
■’ U.S. Senator Sam Nunn has
introduced legislation setting
jap u National Productivity
Renter within the Commerce
Department and calling for a
(oordinated federal policy
dined at increasing
iroductivity.
“A strong emphasis on
ncreasing the productivity of
he American economy will
iroyidc an important weapon
be used in the battle against
inflation,” said Nunn. In his
floor remarks, Senator Nunn
pointed out that the rate of
productivity growth has
Reclined in the United States
fn recent years while the
productivity growth rate in
ijMapan and Western Europe
iias climbed rapidly.
In stressing the need for a
federal policy on productivity,
Trfuiin said, “A healthy rate of
productivity growth means
that the economy can support
a steadily rising rate of wages
without necessarily forcing a
major increase in prices.”
'll also means this nation’s
products are more com
petitive in world markets,"

Wednesday, October 9, at the
Eastgate branch of The Bank
of Perry with the regent Mrs.
me that they have taken the
action to prevent recruiting
malpractices,” said Nunn,
“but they acknowledge the
problem persists. However,
they do not feel the overall
quality of personnel has been
affected.”
Senator Nunn’s request asks
GAO to take the following
action:
1. Devise a statistically
valid sample of the people who
have entered the services
since the inception of the all
volunteer force.
2. Focus on this sample by
interviewing the individuals
and their records from the
time they first applied for
military service.
3. Finally, analyze the date
in order to provide the sub
committee with an indication
of whether the services are
getting good recruits and
treating them so as to make
good use of their skills.
Nunn added. “The absence of
productivity growth during
this past year has intensified
inflationary pressures
throughout the economy.”
Nunn’s bill, The National
Productivity Act of 1974,
would require:
(1) the development of a
strong federal policy on
productivity as guide to
agencies and courts to be used
in measuring the impact of
laws and regulations on
productivity;
(2) a detailed productivity
impact statement explaining
how every piece of legislation,
budget recommendation, or
major action of a federal
agency will affect national
productivity;
(3) a continuing review of
federal laws and regulations
to insure they are consistent
with the national policy on
productivity;
(4) require the establish
ment of a National Produc
tivity Center to encourage
research and development
and the dissemination of
productivity information.
In addition, the proposed bill
would establish two separate
grant programs, one to
provide for research projects
and dissemination of
productivity information
under the National Produc
tivity Center, and another for
the use of colleges and
universities in setting up
regional productivity centers
and technical assistance
programs similar to an
“extension service."
“Much of the emphasis of
this bill.” explained Nunn, “is
based on the utilization of
colleges and universities to
provide assistance to local
industries in raising their
productivity."
The Georgia Senator cited
the success of a program
conducted by the Engineering
Experiment Station at
Georgia Institute of
Technology. “Represen
tatives of the Tech experiment
station visit companies and
trade groups throughout the
state identifying specific
productivity problems and
assisting in finding solutions."
Nunn believes the Georgia
program which has achieved
“considerable success” can
be used as a model throughout
the country to assist industries
in improving technology and
management and thereby,
productivity.
“We must utilize and match
the know how and technical
capability of our university
systems in this nation with the
obvious industrial need to
increase productivity,” said
Nunn. We do not need a new
federal agency with a new
bureaucracy. We should
utilize our existing talent and
capabilities at the state and
local level with the proper
federal incentives and
coordination, and this is the
direction this legislation
lakes.”

national defense chairwoman,
In releasing his request to
GAO, Senator Nunn said, “A
personnel audit of this sort
should tell us a good deal
about the general ef
fectiveness of the recruiting
programs of the individual
services. We are asking that
the audit be completed by
Feb. 15, 1975,” Nunn added.
