Period for Filing
PURPOSE: This item would extend the time period for the filing of claims under
section 2734 of title lOs United States Code (formerly the Foreign
Claims Acct) from one year to two years after the claim arises. The
original purpose of the Foreign Claims Act was to promote and
maintain friendly relations through the prompt settlement of
meritorious claims arising from the noncombat activities of our
armed forces. This amendment is necessary in order that many
meritorious claims may be paid instead of denied because of not
filing within one year due to the fact the claimant was not aware
of the above mentioned law.

for Reenlistment Bonuses
At present, there are two conflicting provisions of law on reenlistment
bonuses. One provision authorizes a bonus if reenlistment occurs within
three months of date of discharge- a later provision authorizes a larger
bonus if reenlistment occurs within 90 days of discharge. The difference
in terms has caused difficulties because many people were unaware of it and
believed that reenlistment within three months would qualify an individual
for the larger bonus authorized by the later provision of law. However,
the term three months can mean a period as long as 92 days depending on the
number of 31 day months involved. Some service members reenlisted on the
91st or 92d day after the date of discharge and were erroneously paid the
larger bonus which was authorized only if reenlistment occurred within 90
days. Persons reenlisting on the 91st or 92d days are authorized only the
smaller bonus provided by the earlier law. Persons thus erroneously paid
the larger bonus became liable for the overpayment which was equal to the
difference between the smaller "three months" bonus and the larger "90 day"
bonus. This proposal would change the later provision to read "three
months." It is retroactive and will, therefore, authorize the larger bonus
for reenlistments on the 91st or 92d day since the date the larger bonus
was first authorized as well as into the future.
Identical legislation was introduced in the 85th Congress as H. R. 11789.

Deputy Chief of Staff, Personnel
This propo-sal would authorize all temporary storage of household
goods of members of the uniformed services, made prior to 17 April 1954,
under certain regulations which were interpreted by the Comptroller General
to disallow some of such storage. Prior to the decision of the Comptroller
General, temporary storage of household goods at public expense for not
more than six months was thought to be authorized at the request of a service
member ordered to make a permanent change of station, including (a) those
instances where the new station was within the same metropolitan area as
the old station, (b) instances where the owner desired shipment of only
part of his household effects to his new station, (c) instances where the
owner had withdrawn part of his household effects from temporary storage
procured at destination, and (d) instances where the survivors of a member,
whose death occurred while serving on active duty, requested temporary
storage. '.Phis proposal would relieve those service members and former
members and their survivors who are presently liable to the United States
for the cost of disallowed storage services received or for amounts received
as reimbursement for disallowed storage service secured at personal expense.
It would also allow for the refund of any amounts collected by the United
States on account of such liabilities.

These mandatory minimum strengths of the reserve components of the
Army represent an unprecedented departure from past policy which has traditionally
recognized that the Executive Branch of the Government must have broad flexi-

The purpose of this proposed legislation is to provide necessary
authority for Generals of. the Army George Catlett Marshall, Douglas
MacArthur, and Omar Nelson Bradley to accept and wear the awards tendered
them by foreign governments and held in escrow by the Department of State
pursuant to the Act of January 31, 1881 (21 Stat. 604; 5 U.S.C. 115).
The Secretary of State is required to furnish each odd-numbered Congress
"a list of those retired officers or employees of the United States for
whom the Department of State under the provisions of 115 of this title
B U.S.C. 119, is holding decorations, orders, medals, or presents
tendered them by foreign governments." (Act of June 27, 1934; 48 Stat.
1267; 5 U.S.C. 115a) (Underscoring supplied).
Officers attaining the grade of General of the Army may elect not
to retire from the service but to continue to be carried on the active
list and remain available to the Government for consultation. Each of
the Generals named above chose not to retire. Thus, their names would
not be included in any list of retired officers forwarded periodically
by the Secretary of State to the Congress, and legislation is required
if these Generals are to receive during their lifetime the awards tendered
them by foreign governments and which are currently held in escrow by
the Department of State.

PURPOSE:
This proposal would provide on a permanent basis, the authority presently
existing in Section 615, Public Law 85-724, 85th Congress, H. R. 12718,
August 22, 1958, which is on a temporary basis and will expire effective
July 1, 1959- Were this temporary authority made permanent legislation the
rated or designated career of military aviators would be made more attractive
by virtue of the fact that the Congress would thereby have recognized the
total hazards of a military flying career and taken appropriate steps to
insure that the flight pay associated therewith would not be abruptly
terminated.
With regard to the second provision of the proposed legislation con-
cerning certain assignments outside the United States, the Services have
judiciously used the temporary authority now existing and have thereby
been able to maintain the morale and efficiency of those aviators who have
had to be stationed at remote and inaccessible areas of the world and behind
the Iron Curtain. It is desirable and necessary to continue this practice.
Accordingly, the Department of Defense strongly recommends that this provision
also be made permanent legislation.
