Speer, Chairman and Chief Excutive Officer of United States Steel Cor- poration, was born in Pittsburgh in 1916. He was elected Chairman and CEO in March 1973, 35 years after beginning his first job as a metallurgical observer in the Corporation's Ohio Works in Youngstown in 1938. Before joining U.S. Steel, he attended Widener College and the University of Pennsyl- vania. In 1955 he completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. Following several successive promotions and assignments at Youngstown, Ohio; Gary Works, Indiana; Duquesne and Fairless Works in Pennsylvania, he returned to Pittsburgh in 1958 as general manager of steel operations. In rapid succession thereafter, he was elected vice president-steel operations, then administrative vice president-central opera- tions, becoming executive vice president-production in 1967. In the following year he was elected to the Board of Directors. He became president of U.S. Steel in 1969, and was elected chairman of the board in 1973. His memberships include the board of directors and executive committee of the Ameri- can Iron and Steel Institute; director of the International Iron and Steel Institute. He also holds memberships in the Business Council, the President's Council on Physical Fitness and the Boy Scouts of America. He is a director of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company and Procter and Gamble Co.

In this position he heads the Intelligence Community (the foreign intelligence agencies of the United States) as well as directs the Central Intelligence Agency. A native of Highland Park, Illinois, Admiral Turner entered Amherst College in 1941 and, two years later, was appointed to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. After graduation in 1946 (Class of 1947), he served one year at sea before entering Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar for work on a master's degree in Philos- ophy, Politics and Economics. Following Oxford, he held a variety of sea assignments, including command of a mine- sweeper, a destroyer, and a guided missile frigate which he placed in commission. His shore assignments included the Politico-Military Policy Division in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Analysis, the Advanced Management Program at the Harvard Business School, and Executive As- sistant and Naval Aide to the Secretary of the Navy. He was selected for promotion to Rear Admiral in May 1970, and shortly thereafter assumed command of a Carrier Task Force Group of the Sixth Fleet while serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS Independence. After that, he directed the Systems Analysis Division of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. On 30 June 1972, Admiral Turner became the 36th President of the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island, with the rank of Vice Admiral. During his two-year tenure there, he instituted major revisions in the curriculum to strengthen its academic content. In August 1974, he became commander of the United States Second Fleet and NATO Striking Fleet Atlantic. He served in that capacity until August 1975, when he was named Commander in Chief, Allied Forces Southern Europe (AFSOUTH), with headquarters in Naples, Italy. Upon assuming that position on 1 September 1975, he was promoted to the rank of Admiral. He held this command until his departure on 2 March 1977 to assume his present duties.

Bergen Chairman, New York Council Navy League of the United States 1500 Broadway, Suite 950 New York, New York 10036 ? My dear Admiral Bergen: We salute you and the New York Council of the Navy League for your continuing efforts to keep America strong, morally and economically, and for worldwide peace through international cooperation. The story of America's uncertain, unpretentious beginning and its. subsequent ascent to the pinnacle of power in the free world is unquestionably one of the epochs of world history. We realize that it is not enough to acclaim the memories of noteworthy patriots to whom we owe so much. We must also analyze and assess their concepts and methods, and consider adapting them to our contemporary problems, and to instill a renewed pride in the American way. The Committee to Honor America recognizes the enormous store of innovation and imagination in business and industry, both so well represented within the League. We thank you for the positive service you are rendering to our beloved country. And, now as the Council begins its 75th year, we ask you to join with us to help build confidence that the future will be one of hope and promise, and that the traditional values of America be retained. For only by honoring America's promise. do we Honor America itself. llard Marriott VChairman Treasurer: George Champion Deputy Treasurer: William J. McManus Secretary: Herbert E.
