Report of the President
Twenty-Second Annual Meeting
As an attorney, I suppose it would be proper for me to begin my Annual
Report to the DOCA Membership by saying that Article III. Section I of
the By-Laws requires that I present at this Meeting a condensed sum-
mation of the work and activities of our Association over the past year. As
your President, it gives me pleasure to volunteer to do so.
Gentlemen, nothing has changed in DOCA with respect to the time-
consuming complexities and the administrative problems which arise in
connection with the position I am privileged to hold. My travel log shows
nearly 20,000 miles; my secretary tells me I am never in my office; strangely
enough my wife tells me that I never seem to be at home; my office clients
assure me that it is difficult to arrange an appointment with me; and my
friends continue to murmur that the old-fashioned poker games and other
personal divertissements to which I have occasionally been accustomed are
conspicuous by my absence. The conclusion which must seemingly be
drawn is that I am spending quite a bit of time on DOCA business (and I
happily confess that I am!) working with so many of our Officers and
Directors, who give so unstintingly of their time, which is such a rewarding
experience that I have never felt that DOCA work was an imposition. In
fact, the willingness and cooperation of every member who has been called
upon to help has made the year of my DOCA Presidency a genuine
pleasure.
Last December I1th we began new activities with a special meeting of
the Board of Directors in Washington. It was as I previously reported, per-
sonally gratifying that, despite bad weather with consequent transportation
problems. thirty-three Officers and Directors attended this meeting. Most
importantly, it was a productive assembly. We approved the dates for this
Annual Meeting; authorized the President to appoint a Nominating Com-
mittee; and a new Committee to select a recipient from nominees for
DOCA's First Annual "Service to Freedom Award," to which I will refer
later in this Report. We also approved major overseas extended orientation
visits to the U.S. Southern Command in Panama and to the U.S. Pacific
Command. Regional visits were approved to NORAD in Colorado Springs
and First Fleet and Marine Corps Installations in San Diego and Camp
Pendleton, respectively. Equally importantly, authorization was given for
the appointment of an ad hoc committee designed to inquire into possible
reasons for the failure of a large segment of our membership to participate
in our various activities and to determine whether there is any need for
broadening the base on which our active membership is founded.
Early in 1973. 1 was honored by an invitation from the then-new
Secretary of Defense, Eliot Richardson, to meet in his office along with
other leaders of national organizations for an informal discussion on defen-
se policies. Shortly thereafter, Secretary Richardson held a second such
meeting and, just when a meaningful rapport was being established, the
first of a series of political bombshells began falling in Washington which
resulted in Mr. Richardson being appointed as Attorney General, and the
Honorable James Schlesinger appointed as his successor. Every effort will
be made to develop an effective and personal relationship with the current
Secretary and to continue a close liaison with Deputy Secretary William P.
Clements, Jr., a gentleman who has already clearly indicated his en-
thusiasm for our Organization and his desire to work closely with us.
Meanwhile, during the "winter season", many of our DOCA members
were giving talks and lectures, with illustrated slides and/or motion pic-
tures. concerning our varied activities. I consider it incumbent on us that
we seize every opportunity to improve the public's awareness of the im-
portant role of the military in this period of transition following the
cessation of hostilities in Vietnam and the major move toward an all-
volunteer armed services. I applaud the efforts of those of our members
who are carrying out one of our Association's primary mandates.
In a February Newsletter we announced the creation of the "Service to
Freedom" Award and published the basic criteria surrounding its presen-
tation. Tonight, at the formal Banquet, the first winner of the magnificent
bronze created, executed and donated by Rogers Aston will be presented. I
am as excited as you must be about the first presentation of this coveted
trophy. Tremendous credit must be given to Rog Aston for his inspiring
work in developing the concept of this Award and for his outstanding
sculpture portrayed by the Bronze which will be presented personally to
Commander McCain this evening.
Our total membership on March 31st, 1973 (the end of DOCA's fiscal
year) was 620, a decrease of twenty-one members from 1972. However, I am
pleased to inform you that, due to forty-three participants from JCOC 42
joining our Association, and to relatively small losses from deaths and
resignations, our membership is definitely on the "upswing" again. The
status report in 1974 should reveal a positive gain in our total membership
although you are of course aware that we have always been far more in-
terested in quality than quantity.
The Orientation visits to the U.S. Southern Command and to NORAD
were both highly successful, and, while our group was in Panama, they en-
joyed the bonus of the United Nations Security Council Meetings which
were in progress. The sixth visit of DOCA to the U.S. Pacific Command
took place May 5th through May 26th. Twenty-five of our members were
privileged to get an "on the scene" look at developments in Honolulu,
Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Okinawa, Taipei, Hong Kong, Saigon and Bangkok.
This major trip will be the subject of a more exhaustive Report by Casey
Kay at lunch but-as one of the fortunate participants-I can assure you it
was an unforgettable experience and one I can commend to each of you
when the opportunity presents itself in the future. Looking into the future,
Lam Hardman has arranged a Region III Meeting in the Charleston, South
Carolina area for November 15th and 16th, and we are tentatively con-
sidering a two-week visit to the U.S. European Command in early spring,
1974.
A large group from the Japan Defense Society visited our country from
June 9th through June 27th. In conjunction with the Department of Defen-
se, several of our DOCA members hosted these gentlemen as they toured
defense installations throughout the United States. Bryant Essick in Los
Angeles, Rogers Aston in Roswell, Marty Ceder in Louisville. Norman Alt-
man in Washington, D.C. and Bill Laub in Las Vegas, arranged most
hospitable and interesting programs. Their warm generosity further
strengthened the personal and professional ties which exist between us and
the'Japanese DOCA."
Immediately after the departure of the JDS group from San Francisco,
Region VI held a two-day Meeting at Camp Pendleton and San Diego.
Twenty-eight members participated in a diversified program which in-
cluded everything from a Marine firepower demonstration to an in-flight
shakedown of the Navy's new fighter, the F-14 "Tomcat."
When the smoke had cleared from all this frenetic activity. our
Washington staff seized the opportunity to publish a new DOCA Direc-
tory, our first since August 1970. All of you should have received this up-to-
date Directory by now. I hope you like the new format-the bold type was
my own idea, conceived when my bifocals grew weaker and my arms grew
shorter.
During the past year it has been our misfortune to have suffered out-
standing losses in the untimely passing of Dick Drukker, Ben Golden. Bo
Roos, Joe Thompson, Max Thomas. Samuel N. Pickard, Theodore H.
Lind, Frank L. Laseter, JS Gray, Edward S. Christiansen. IV and Rex R.
Brubaker. Dick Drukker performed about every possible service
imaginable for DOCA and sparked our Organization with fanatic zeal and
ingenuity and his memory will long be cherished. Ben Golden held most of
the available offices in our Association with integrity and ability and the
other members I mentioned gave unstintingly in support of our activities. I
would request that the members present stand for a moment of silent
tribute to each of these wonderful gentlemen.
At this time I would be remiss if I did not note with regret the resignation
a few months ago of Mike Horrocks. our former Executive Director. His
career with this Association for more than three years was honorable and
exemplary and I know that I reflect the feelings of our members in ex-
pressing admiration for his personality and capabilities. We wish for him
happiness and success in his forthcoming endeavors.
It is a testimony to the strength of DOCA that it has survived and
prospered during this year of hectic national problems. Perhaps that can
better be understood when we focus upon the over-riding objectives on
which we have always set our sights, namely, the opportunity and ability
constantly to update our knowledge and to spread the gospel of a strong
defense posture.
You may have some questions concerning items I have covered or items I
may, inadvertently, have omitted. If so I shall be glad to answer them. If
not. I will terminate this Report by welcoming the new members of DOCA
who are attending their First Annual Meeting, and by offering my sincere
gratitude to each and every one of you-both present and absent--who
made niv job easier for me last year and who have in so many ways
exhibited their devotion to the principles we espouse.

From the Academy we went to the Base Theater where we were
met by Lieutenant General Robert P. Keller, Commanding
General, Marine Corps Development and Education Command.
General Keller welcomed us to his Command and gave us a
briefing on its overall mission and operations.
Following General Keller's briefing, members were divided into
smaller groups and escorted on tours of various divisions of the
Development Command where we were given an overview of some
new developments in Marine Corps techniques, and had a close
look at many of the weapons and equipment now in use by the
Corps. Those of us who had made a similar visit to Quantico four
years ago were much impressed with the continuing progress the
Marines are making in improvements of weapons and procedures
in keeping with changing conditions.
We had lunch with students of the Officer Candidate School
and, as usual, were favorably impressed with the general attitude
of these young men, and their reactions to the changes from
civilian to military life.
After lunch we visited the Officer Candidate School. An
excellent briefing was given on the curriculum of the school and,
particularly, on the personnel who attend. There is no doubt that
regardless of everything else, the Marines still consider the
personnel the most important part of the Corps, and they stress
their faith in the quality and character of our present generation
of young men. We were all particularly impressed by the spirited
and inspirational remarks made by Brigadier General Wilbur F.
Simlik respecting the School and what he conceived to be its
mission.
Next, The Honorable William P. Clements, Jr., Deputy Secre-
tary of Defense, made a few remarks covering the broad spectrum
of the defense establishment and then opened the meeting to
questions. This was our first meeting with Secretary Clements and
we were all struck with his forthright manner and good grasp of
his duties and responsibilities although he has been in office a
relatively short time. Admitting that he was somewhat hampered
by the presence of news media at this session, he did answer all of
our questions very frankly and completely. Copies of his remarks
are available at our headquarters for those who might desire
them.
WASHINGTON, D.C.: The Honorable William P. Clements, Jr., Deputy
Secretary of Defense; addresses DOCA, members at the Pentagon.
We returned from the Pentagon to the headquarters hotel and
immediately convened the Annual Business Meeting. The
President made a condensed report of the work and activities of
the Association during the past year (printed hereafter in this
Bulletin); the Secretary-Treasurer submitted a report of finances;
members were elected to serve on the Board of Directors for the
coming year (see page 10 of this Bulletin); and a preliminary re-
port was submitted by William L. Nelson, Chairman of an Ad Hoc
Committee appointed to study ways and means of improving
various phases of DOCA operations. The meeting was then
opened to business from the floor and a lively discussion was held
on various matters concerning DOCA in general.

The Annual Luncheon held immediately following the business
meeting was highlighted by a report on the 1973 DOCA
orientation visit to the U.S. Pacific Command by Casey Kay
(JCOC 38) who vividly described this unusually interesting and in-
structive trip and brought home to the members what a rare
privilege and opportunity it is to participate in one of the extended
DOCA orientation visits to Unified Commands.
After lunch the Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors con-
vened. Officers were elected for the coming year, and lengthy and
lively discussions covered a variety of subjects to be studied by the
Board and taken up for consideration at the next regular meeting
of the Board.
The formal reception and banquet was a fitting climax to the
meeting. Opening with a stirring ceremony by the Marine Drum
and Bugle Corps and Color Guard, the first presentation of the
newly established Service to Freedom Award was made to
Commander John S. McCain, III, U.S. Navy. Commander
McCain's response, including some of his thoughts while a
prisoner of war, was a thrilling affirmation of complete dedication
to the freedom of man. His father, Admiral McCain, who has
always been a great booster of DOCA, was also present at the
banquet and the close relationship between Father and Son

Last, but not least, our guest of honor, General Earl E.
Anderson, USMC, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps
(who admittedly had a "hard act to follow") gave an address that
was undoubtedly one of the best we have heard at any of the
Annual Banquets. His talk was aimed directly at DOCA and
certainly conveyed a timely and thought provoking message for
all of us.
A large number of DOCA wives attended this meeting and the
special program arranged for them appeared to meet with their
approval. In addition to their attending the informal reception on
Wednesday evening, and the formal reception and banquet on
Friday, a program arranged for them on Thursday included coffee
with Mrs. Earl E. Anderson at the Marine Barracks in
Washington; a visit to the Marine Corps Base where they toured
the FBI Academy; had lunch with the wives of Base personnel;
witnessed a war games demonstration; and joined the men for the
Battle Color Ceremony and social hour before returning to
Washington. By and large, we believe that most of them enjoyed
the day very much.
Now that this meeting is behind us, we have already started
thinking about the next one. 1974 is Air Force Year and our
liaison officers in the Air Force tell us that, although they agree
this was an excellent meeting, the Twenty-Third will be even better
through their efforts. We will wait and see.
REGION VI MEETING
CAMP PENDLETON-NAVAL AIR STATION, MIRAMAR
RECRUIT TRAINING CENTER
June 28-29, 1973
Headquarters for this meeting was the Hotel Del Coronado in
Coronado, California, where twenty-three participants assembled
during the afternoon and evening of June 27th.
On Thursday morning, June 28th, we traveled by bus to the
Marine Corps Base at Camp Pendleton. Major General Herman
Poggemeyer, Commanding General of Camp Pendleton, wel-
comed us on arrival and gave us a very comprehensive briefing on
the purposes and designs of his mission and command, and con-
ducted an extensive question and answer period.

Following the command briefing, we drove to the Infantry
Training School to observe firing demonstrations of various
classes of weapons from grenade launchers to heavy machine
guns and flame throwers. Then, lunch in the enlisted men's dining
facility, after which we went to the helicopter area for
demonstrations of the Marine's new insertion and extraction
technique-a method of dropping highly trained troops into
enemy held areas, then recovering them with helicopters. A very
exciting demonstration of some very intricate maneuvers.
After the helicopter demonstrations, we returned to
Headquarters where we were given an ecology briefing,
demonstrating what the Marines are doing to protect Camp Pen-
dleton and how they are taking care of the air and the wildlife.
This concluded the Camp Pendleton visit and we returned to our
hotel. Later that evening we hosted a reception at the North Island
Air Station Officers' Club.
On Friday morning we visited Miramar Naval Air Station. We
first stopped at the Air Survival School where we saw some unus-
ual and interesting experiments being run by flight surgeons who
study physiological effects of various types of flight conditions.
We next toured the flight: line where, in addition to various
types of aircraft, we had the unusual privilege of seeing the new
F14 TOMCAT fighter demonstrating some very impressive
maneuvers which indicate that this plane will do all of the things
expected of it.
Following the F14 demonstration we had lunch at the Officers
Club and then drove to the Naval Recruit Training Center in San
Diego.
At the Training Center we witnessed graduation -ceremonies of
recruits completing Boot Camp, and then the regular recruit
parade. This concluded the Region VI Meeting and we returned to
the hotel, checked out, and disbanded.
Orientation as provided by means of this visit furnishes a most
helpful and constructive means of our being updated on the latest
defense techniques. This in turn represents an invaluable tool by
means of which our members can most effectively carry out the
stated missions of DOCA.

June 9-27, 1973 after which they went to the Japanese Embassy for discussions
A group of twenty-five prominent Japanese, members of the
Japan Defense Society, arrived in the United States on June 9th
for a tour sponsored by the Department of Defense with the coop-
eration of DOCA. This was the third such group to make a tour
under these conditions.
On Sunday evening, June 10th, they were guests of Bryant
Essick (JCOC 13) for a reception and dinner at his Los Angeles
home.
On Monday morning they toured the El Segundo plant of
Rockwell International and that afternoon were taken on a cruise
of Los Angeles Harbor in Mr. Essick's yacht, with a stop at his
Long Beach home for refreshments following the cruise.

They flew to Roswell, New Mexico, on Tuesday where Rogers
Aston (JCOC 32) had prepared a warm welcome for them, and
arranged an unusually exciting program within his home state of
New Mexico. The program in Roswell included a tour of Goddard
Space Museum; a reception by the Chamber of Commerce; and a
reception and dinner in Mr. Aston's home.
Wednesday morning they traveled from Roswell to Sante Fe by
bus, a three hour ride during which they had a good view of the
countryside, and a running commentary on points of interest, and
bits of history of the West, by Casey Kay (JCOC 38).
At Sante Fe they had lunch with City Officials and made a tour
of that historic city, ending up at the Arrowsmith-Fenn Galleries
where they toured the Arrowsmith Museum of Indian artifacts,
observed the pouring of bronze molds, and had a typical Mexican
dinner followed by Indian dances.
The following morning they travelled by bus to an Indian
Pueblo, then to Albuquerque where they boarded a plane for
Louisville, Kentucky.
They were met on arrival in Louisville by Martin A. Ceder
(JCOC 30) and DOCA President MacNeil Mitchell (JCOC 13). On
Friday morning they started the day with a typical Southern
breakfast, after which they visited Fort Knox for briefings and
tours of the post. From Fort Knox they went to the Old Fitzgerald
Distillery where they had a first hand view of the distilling of
bourbon whiskey. Then to Martin Ceder's home in nearby
Anchorage for cocktails, followed by dinner at the Owl Creek
Country Club.
The group left Louisville for Washington, D.C. on Saturday
morning. Saturday and Sunday were spent in organized and
individual sightseeing tours of Washington and nearby points of
interest and, on Sunday evening, the JDS hosted a reception at
Bolling Air Force Base Officers' Club for local officials and
DOCA members.
with their Ambassador. On Monday evening they were entertained
at a reception /buffet in the home of Norman S. Altman (JCOC
37).
They visited the Pentagon on Tuesday morning, for defense
briefings and a tour of the National Military Command Center,
and went from there to Washington National Airport where they
boarded a flight to Omaha, Nebraska.
A short stay in Omaha included a reception by the Commander
Strategic Air Command on Tuesday evening, and a series of tours
and briefings at Strategic Command Headquarters the following
morning, after which they departed for Colorado Springs.
At Colorado Springs, they toured the U.S. Air Force Academy
and the Cheyenne Mountain Complex of the North American Air
Defense Command. They departed Colorado Springs for Las
Vegas on Friday morning and were met on arrival by W.M. Laub
(JCOC 31) and the Mayor of Las Vegas who presented them with
the key to the City. They visited Nellis Air Force Base that
afternoon, attended one of the Las Vegas shows that. evening, and
flew to San Francisco the following morning, where John P.
Renshaw (JCOC 27) welcomed them and was their host for this
phase of the tour.
Sunday was a free day for golf, baseball, and sightseeing in San
Francisco. Monday morning was spent with a visit to the Naval
Air Station at Alameda, lunch at Fishermans Wharf, and the
group left San Francisco that evening for Honolulu.
The tour terminated in Honolulu with a briefing by the
Commander in Chief, Pacific, at his Headquarters at Camp
Smith. The group spent Tuesday night in Honolulu and departed
for Tokyo on Wednesday morning.
These tours by the Japan Defense Society, instigated by DOCA,
have become a regular event and provide an excellent avenue for
exchanges of ideas between the Japanese and their American
counterparts in DOCA. As a result of the JDS tours of the United
States, and DOCA visits to Japan in connection with our
orientation visits to the U.S. Pacific Command, an unusual
atmosphere of friendship and understanding has developed
between the members of the two organizations.
U.S. PACIFIC COMMAND
May 5-26, 1973
Another DOCA visit to the U.S. Pacific Command was success-
fully completed on May 27th. Twenty-four members participated,
most of whom assembled in Los Angeles on May 5th for the flight
to Honolulu where the remainder of the members joined us for the
start of the trip.
The day of Sunday,, May 6th, was set aside for rest and
relaxation to give us a pause to get accustomed to the first big time
change. It was an easy and pleasant day, terminating with a visit
to the fabulous ex-Kaiser Estate, recently acquired by Syl
Goldman (JCOC 27) who hosted us for refreshments and a tour of
the estate, and from there to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Midkiff (JCOC 22) for a delightful reception and buffet in
peaceful surroundings reminiscent of the old Hawaii before the
tourists came.
The serious business of the trip started on Monday morning
when we were briefed by Admiral Noel G. Gaylor, Commander in
Chief Pacific, in his headquarters at Camp Smith. Admiral Gaylor
has become a well-known figure through the television broadcasts
of his greetings to the groups of returning prisioners of war, and
we were much impressed with the easy and informal, yet extremely
serious and informative, manner in which he gave us an overview
of his vast command and its functions in the post-cease fire
situation.

 Going directly from F~co'i-c i.o mmand I'M le se 2003/ th02/27
Honolulu International Airport, we boarded our plane for Tokyo
and arrived in that city during mid-afternoon of Tuesday, May 8th
after an eight hour flight during which we crossed the
International Date Line and lost a day.
On arrival in Tokyo we received a very warm and much appre-
ciated welcome at the airport from representatives of the Com-
mander U.S. Forces Japan, officials of the Japan Defense Agency,
and members of The Japan Defense Society-the "Japanese
DOCA." After appropriate arrival ceremonies, we checked in to
the sumptuous New Otani Hotel. We then immediately proceeded
to the Tokyo residence of Mr. Robert Murphy, the ITT represen-
tative there, for a reception hosted by him and fellow member Joe
Gancie (JCOC 38).
Rain plagued us during our stay in Tokyo and the program of
visits to U.S. installations in Japan, scheduled for Wednesday had
to be cancelled due to grounding of aircraft. However, we did get a
very comprehensive briefing at the Fuchu Air Station
Headquarters of the Commander U.S. Forces, Japan, and an ex-
cellent picture of the current role of U.S. Army, Navy and Air
Force component commands in that country. On Wednesday
afternoon we called at the American Embassy in Tokyo and were
briefed on the political and economic situation in Japan. That
evening we were guests of the Japan Defense Society for a very
impressive reception at the Industry Club of Japan. Here we met
many of our Japanese friends some of whom have already toured
the United States under the auspices of DOCA, and others who
were planning to participate in the latest tour which. was
conducted June 9th through 27th, as well as a host of top U.S. and
Japanese government military officials. Mementos signifying our
mutual friendship and respect were exchanged between the JDS
and DOCA.
TOKYO: General Nakamura, Chairman Joint Staff Council; Mr. Moriya,
President Mitsubishi Heavy Industries; Rear Admiral Rogers, Commander
U.S. Naval Forces Japan; with DOCA officials MacNeil Mitchell, Presi-
dent; Howard Sluyter, Chairman of the Board; and Bryant Essick, Past
President; at Industry Club of Japan.
Thursday was devoted to the Japan Defense Agency, the
equivalent of our Defense Department. We first visited the
Ministry of Defense offices where we had a discussion with Mr.
Easki Masuhara, Director General of the JDA and an
enlightening briefing on their defense posture. The next scheduled
event was a visit to the Combined Arms Training School at the
base of Mt. Fuji but again the aircraft were grounded due to rain.
As a compromise, the ever-resourceful Japanese worked out an
alternate plan. We went by bus to Gotema Giry (about half way to
the School), where its staff met us at the Royal Fuji Restaurant.
There we had lunch and were given a briefing on the mission and
operation of the School which provides combat training for mem-
bers of the Japan Self Defense Forces. The briefing concluded on a
CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130007-3
spirited note of camaraderie with impromtu exchanges of singing
and toasts to continued mutual respect and friendship. We
returned to our hotel through the colorful countryside, and the
incredible Tokyo traffic, and that evening we hosted a reception
where we again had the pleasure of mingling with a large number
of U.S. and Japanese military and government officials.
With a very early start on Friday morning, we traveled by train
from Tokyo to Kobe, enjoying the experience of riding the famous
Bullet Train. We had lunch on arrival in Kobe and then visited the
industrial plants of Kawasaki Heavy Industries and the Mitsu-
bishi Submarine Works where we were briefed on the operations
and toured their installations. We then went by bus from Kobe to
Osaka, checked into our beautiful mountainside Hotel Minoo and
that evening were guests of the Osaka Branch of the Japan
Defense Society at another thoroughly enjoyable reception.
On Saturday morning we: visited Shin Meiwa PS-1 Works,
where an intriguing new seaplane has been developed and is now
in production. Following this visit, we were left to our own devices
until Sunday afternoon and this welcome breathing spell was
utilized in various ways-golf, sightseeing, shopping or just plain
relaxing.
We left Osaka Sunday afternoon for Seoul, Korea, arriving
there during early evening where we checked in at the luxurious
Hotel 'Chosun. Our one full day in Korea was filled with a
uniquely interesting program, starting Monday morning with a
visit to the Headquarters of the United Nations Forces and U.S.
Forces Korea, where we were briefed by General D.V. Bennett,
USA, the Commander in Chief. Next at the Ministry of Defense of
the Republic of Korea we had an informal conference with the
Honorable YU, Jae Hung, Minister of National Defense, followed
by outstanding expositions on the defense posture of that
Republic.
SEOUL, KOREA: Honorable YU Jae Hung, Minister of Defense, pre-
sents plaque to MacNeil Mitchell, President of DOCA.
We then flew to the DMZ where we were met by Lieutenant
General Richard C. Knowles, Commander I Corps. After General
Knowles explained the mission of his command, we were provided
an opportunity to visit with some of the personnel and look over
their equipment: thereafter to the Joint Security Area
(Panmunjom) for a tour and briefing in the conference room
where "peace talks" are held periodically.
Returning to Seoul, we visited the American Embassy where we
were thrilled by the meaningful and outstandingly informative
talks provided by Ambassador Philip C. Habib and his staff. At
their conclusion the Ambassador presided over a question and
answer period which enthralled us in such a manner as further to
enhance our respect for his qualities of integrity and knowledge.
The day ended with a DOCA. hosted reception at Yongsan Base
where we met informally with many U.S. and Republic of Korea
officials.

John W. Barnes, Chief of the Military Assistance Advisory Group,
and U.S. Ambassador Walter.H. McConaughy as well as other
military personnel. The Ambassador gave an absorbing talk
covering the political atmosphere in the Republic of China which
was enlightening and most encouraging. Ambassador
McConaughy represents another example of a brilliant career
diplomat whose presence in Taiwan and in other Asian countries
has for many years provided lustre and outstanding credit for our
country. After lunch we went to Headquarters U.S. Taiwan
Defense Command where we were briefed on its missions and
operations and the Military Assistance Advisory Group, China.
We toured the plant of Tatung Engineering Corporation, an
extremely modern electronics industry complex owned and
operated entirely by the Chinese. The DOCA hosted reception that
evening provided us with still another opportunity to meet
informally with top military and civilian officials of the U.S. and
the Republic of China, including Premier Chaing Ching-Kuo, the
eldest son of Chiang Kai-Shek.
We called at the Chinese Ministry of Defense on Friday
morning for a conference with. General Louie Yen-Chun, Vice
Chief of the General Staff. Following this call, we visited a local
plant of Texas Instruments, Inc., and after a tour of that very
modern plant went to the Chinese Armed Forces Club where we
were luncheon guests of General Lai Ming-Tang, Chief of the
General Staff of the Republic of China. It was pleasant talking
with the General and members of his staff during a relaxing and
authentic Chinese meal.
In the afternoon we called at Headquarters of the Chinese Com-
bined Service Forces, where we were met by Lieutenant General
Lu Tse-Jen, Deputy Commander in Chief, and toured the
Combined Service Forces Exhibit Hall. Then to the Automotive
Rework Facility where battle damaged equipment is completely
renovated and rebuilt as good as new at a fraction of the cost of
replacement.
On Saturday morning May 19th we spent an interesting hour or
so at the National Palace Museum where we were given a visual
idea of the cultural and artistic achievements of China over a

Security Area.
We traveled from Seoul to Okinawa on Tuesday morning May
15th. Our flight involved a three hour layover in Fukuoka, Japan.
We took advantage of this to make a sightseeing tour of this out of
the way but impressive Japanese city.
On arrival in Okinawa in late afternoon we were met by Major
General H.N. Maples, Commander Okinawa Area Field Office
and members of his staff and were transported to our hotel (a
magnificent new Hilton) by helicopter. We were told that other-
wise, due to distance from the airport and the hopeless traffic
congestion it would have taken several hours to get to the hotel.
Shortly after checking in we,hosted a reception for local military
and civilian dignitaries at Fort Buckner Officers' Club.
We benefited from another full and action-packed program on
Okinawa the next day. Briefings on the activities of all four service
branches were first on the agenda. These were unusually
interesting and the day was particularly eventful inasmuch as we
were witnessing the first anniversary of reversion of the island to
Japanese control. Next we witnessed an amphibious demonstra-
tion by the Marines, toured Kadena Air Base, and the Machinato
Service Area. At the Fort Buckner Museum we witnessed a pre-
sentation on the battle of Okinawa, which brought back many
memories to some of us, and then made a quick tour of the island,
visiting some of the spots where history was made in World War
II. General Maples escorted us to the airport Thursday morning
and saw us off for Taipei, Taiwan on an early morning flight.

period of about 4000 years; then to the airport for the flight to
Hong Kong via Cathay Pacific Airlines.
Hong Kong was another stop designed primarily for rest and
relaxation. From our arrival Saturday afternoon until departure
Tuesday morning, there was no official program except a briefing
at the U.S. Consulate on Monday morning and we welcomed this
free time after the exciting and rigorous missions of the week
behind us. Hong Kong is still a fabulous place, with more and
more tourists arriving every month. Over 100,000 entered during
the month of March, the Japanese topping the list with 44,000 and
the United States coming in second with 15,000. The Consulate
briefing on Monday, opened up by Consul General David Osborn
with a general rundown on the status of "China Watching," and
political and economic briefings by the experienced and astute
members of his staff, gave us a good picture of the changing
conditions in Red China as well as a valuable prognosis of the
future impact of our detente with that nation.
The General Manager of our hotel (The Excelsior-a new and
very fine hotel) hosted a. delightful reception for us on Monday
evening, which was an extra added attraction not originally
included in the program.
We left Hong Kong Tuesday morning, much rested and with a
considerable increase in baggage weight, and arrived in Saigon at
noon. In Saigon we ran into the only real problem we encountered
on the trip when it was discovered that visas for three members
had been incorrectly dated by the South Vietnam Embassy in
Washington and the customs officials would not clear them for

of the group made a bus tour of Saigon (which was rather
depressing to those of us who had visited this city in pre-war days),
returned to the airport and em planed for the flight to Bangkok.
The Bangkok program was kicked off on Wednesday morning
May 23rd with a visit to the U.S. Embassy for political and
economic briefings and discussions; then to the Kirin Restaurant
for lunch hosted by Major General Thomas W. Mellen, Deputy
Commander U.S. Military Assistance Command, Thailand. After
lunch we called at Headquarters U.S. Military Command and
Joint U.S. Military Advisory Group, Thailand where we were
briefed on the operations of these commands. .
We called at Thai Supreme Command Headquarters on
Thursday morning and had a lengthy and extremely interesting
discussion with His Excellency Prime Minister Thanom
Kittikachorn. This was followed by a visit with Brigadier General
Chatichai Choonhaven, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and
we enjoyed another unusually interesting discussion, heightened
by his relating some of his hair-raising experiences with the Arab
guerillas who took over the Israeli Embassy earlier this year and
held him as one of their two hostages.
Next we visited Headquarters of the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization (SEATO) where we met with the recently appointed
Secretary General Sunthorn Hongladorum who welcomed us and
then presided at a question and answer period which followed
briefings on the organization by members of his staff. The DOCA
hosted reception was held on Thursday evening, during the course
of which we benefited greatly from personal exchanges on current
matters of concern with the many key governmental and military
leaders present.
The last day of the trip started off with a breakfast with mem-
bers of the American Chamber of Commerce of Bangkok, where
our own Casey Kay presented a rundown of the trip and impres-
sions gained by our group. After breakfast we flew to the up-
county base at Korat, a Royal Thai Air Force Base where the
388th and 354th Tactical Fighter Wings of the U.S. Air Force are
based. It 'was exciting to be in the "heart of the battle" where
planes are taking off daily on combat missions, and to talk with
the men who fly them. Like all military men we meet on our trips,
none of them like war nor do they enjoy participating in it, but all
are extremely dedicated and highly motivated-certainly a group
of young men of whom we can all be proud.

On return to Bangkok from Korat, the DOCA orientation visit
to the U.S. Pacific Command was completed, and members start-
ed departing for various destinations, some going on around the
directly back to the United States.
This was another memorable DOCA trip, particularly timely in
view of the current military situation in this area and by reason of
our changing posture throughout Southeast Asia. Each of us
formed his own conclusions as a result of participating in this
mission but all agree that we had a rare opportunity to gain first-
hand knowledge of the situation in the Far East. We also acquired
a much better understanding of the impact of our changing pre-
sence there and sampled the opinions of leading figures in the
countries within that important area. We were blessed with the
opportunity of receiving very thorough and frank discussions not
only at the hands of our own people but also with military and
political officials of each of the countries we visited. We don't
believe that this could have been made possible in any other way
except through a DOCA trip..
REGION V MEETING
U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY-NORTH AMERICAN
AIR DEFENSE COMMAND
April 19-20, 1973
Twenty five members who attended this meeting checked in at
the Garden of the Gods Club in Colorado Springs during the
afternoon and evening of Wednesday, April 18th.
On Thursday morning we traveled by bus to the Air Force
Academy. Lieutenant General A.P. Clark, Superintendent of the
Academy, welcomed us on arrival and gave us a briefing on the
Academy and its progress over the past several years.
After a question and answer period, we made a tour of the
Academy facilities, including the Cadet Gymnasium and Field
House, Arnold Hall, and the Fabulous Cadet Chapel.
The tour ended at Mitchell Hall, the Cadet dining facility,
where we were assigned Cadet escorts, observed the noon meal
formation of the Cadets, and had lunch with our escorts.
Following lunch, we toured some of the Cadet classes on their
regular schedule.
We left the Academy with a real appreciation of the high
caliber of our future Air Force Officers and the excellent training
and education they receive in preparation for their service careers.
We returned from the Academy to the Garden of the Gods
Club, and hosted our usual reception at the Club that evening.
On Friday morning we visited the North American Air Defense
Command (NORAD) in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. Start-
ing with welcome and remarks by General Seth J. McKee,
Commander in Chief NORAD, we were briefed on Soviet
Capabilities; Mission, Operation and Current Aerospace Defense
Operations; and the Continental Air Defense Command SAFE-
GUARD System.

self, and following t KWdaFg3'fRgld NSv20@342/27,
including a stop at the Command Post from which the Com-
mander in Chief of NORAD and his staff would direct the air
defense of North America. At the Command Post, we were given a
demonstration of a typical air defense problem which was very
enlightening.
The missson of NORAD is "to defend the North American
Continent against air attack, to defend against those enemy forces
that are already launched and enroute to their targets." From
what we saw on our short visit, we were assured that the force of
dedicated men and women who make up the NORAD team are
capable of ably carrying out this mission. We took this thought
with us when we departed Colorado Springs on completion of this
very interesting meeting on Friday afternoon, and were vividly re-
minded of what we had learned when President Nixon recently
placed our forces on alert in connection with the Middle East
crisis.

U.S. SOUTHERN COMMAND, PANAMA
March 18-23, 1973
The first organized activity for DOCA in 1973 was the visit to
the U.S. Southern Command in Panama. Twenty-two members
assembled in Miami, Florida, on Sunday, March 18th, for the
flight to Panama. We were met on arrival by members of the staff
of the Commander in Chief, U.S. Southern Command. After
courtesy customs clearance which had been arranged for us, and a
warm welcome by Major General John B. Henry, USAF, Chief of
Staff, we were driven to quarters at Albrook Air Force Base-a
substitute for accommodations at the El Panama Hotel, which
had been reserved in advance but cancelled by the Panama
Government due to a meeting of the United Nations Security
Council then in progress in Panama. After assignment to
quarters, we were briefed on the program that had been prepared
for us, and were then left on our own for the remainder of the day.
The official program began Monday morning with a briefing on
the overall command by General William B. Rosson, USA, Com-
mander in Chief. General Rosson gave us an unusually informal
and comprehensive rundown on every facet of the command, in-
cluding its impingement on the political, economic and military
situation in the Republic of Panama and the Canal Zone. We
were struck with the vast area of responsibility of this command,
and the peculiar sensitivity of the area which has always faced the
Communist threat and, particularly at this time, has many pro-
blems constantly confronting those responsible for coordinating
U.S. activities in the area. Although the Command is primarily
concerned with the defense of the Panama Canal, it is also en-
gaged in an extensive program of military training and assistance
aimed at improving the capability of U.S.and Latin American
forces to deter or counter aggression in any form-from within or
without. In addition, through support of civic action, the
Command helps combat the forces of Communism that continue
to threaten the peace and prosperity of the Western Hemisphere.
From General Rosson's Headquarters we went to the enlisted
men's dining facility for lunch with personnel of Albrook Air
Force Base. then made a sightseeing tour through parts of the
Canal Zone. Panama and Old Panama which provided a good
orientation on the geography of the area. We were guests of
General Rosson at a delightful reception at the Fort Amador
Officers' Club that evening.
On Tuesday morning we went first to the Inter-American Air
Force Academy where we were briefed on the missson of the
Academy-to train members of the Armed Forces of Latin
American countries in aircraft maintenance, communications and
electronics. ant? aircraft instruments-then toured the school and
observed the practicalities of student instruction and how these
CIA.RD86dt01r73c WQ43000R4&n weeks of intensive
instruction they receive, of going into technical jobs within their
respective armed forces or civilian industry. It is worthy of note
that many of the high ranking military personnel and even some
governmental administrators in most of the Central and South
American countries, including some within Chile, are graduates of
this school.
Next stop was the Cartographic School of the Defense Mapping
Agency's Inter-American Geodetic Survey, which provides
instruction in subjects covering the entire cartographic spectrum,
including applications of remote sensing, satellite imagery, map
making, etc. After a briefing and tour of the school, we had lunch
with the Senior Non-Commissioned Officers at their Club.
On Tuesday afternoon we called at the U.S. Embassy in
Panama City where we had a timely briefing by Ambassador
Robert M. Sayre on the situation then existing between U.S. and
Panamanian Governments, and the very delicate negotiations
being conducted in the United Nations Security Council. From the
Embassy, we proceeded to the Canal Zone Administration
Building where Governor David S. Parker briefed us on the
history, background, operations and outlook for the Panama
Canal, including a possible alternative solution to the canal
problem. Our next stop was at Miraflores Locks where we
observed the transit of a large merchant ship through the locks.
Finally, we boarded the Canal Zone launch Las Cruces, were
joined by local military and civilian officials and their wives, and
made a partial transit of the canal, with music, refreshments and
dinner on board.
Wednesday morning started with a helicopter flight from the
Pacific to the Atlantic side of the Isthmus. Visibility was excellent
and we were able to view from the air various ships transiting the
canal at different points along the route. We landed at Fort
Sherman, on the Atlantic side, and went to the Jungle Training
Center where we were briefed on the operation of the center and
observed demonstrations of jungle survival techniques. We had
samples of jungle food, such as monkey and iguana, and toured
the Center's zoo which contains many examples of wildlife that is
encountered in the jungle..
Travelling to the ruins of old Fort Lorenzo, we had lunch on O-
rations, then boarded Army landing craft for a trip down the
Chagres River to observe demonstrations of various jungle
operations and survival techniques which had been arranged for
our benefit.
We returned to Fort Lorenzo, then by bus to Gatun Dam
enroute the railroad station where we boarded the Panama
Railroad Governor's Coach for the return trip to the Pacific side.
Mr. Herbert B. Thompson, Counselor to the U.S. Embassy.
hosted a reception for us that evening in his residence in Panama
City.
The orientation visit to the Southern Command was completed
on Wednesday, but most of us stayed over through Thursday for a
trip to the San Blas Islands, a fishing trip and a golf game which
had been arranged by the Command. On Thursday evening we
entertained our military and civilian hosts at a reception at the
Albrook Officers' Club.
We left Panama with an added sense of the importance of the
U.S. Southern Command, and a great appreciation for the
splendid way in which all segments of the command handle their
tremendous responsibilities. Additionally, we were made clearly
aware of the sensitivity from a defense standpoint of the delicate
negotiations which are taking place with respect to the future role
of the United States in the control and operation of the Canal.
What eventuates from these discussions will certainly have a
profound effect from a military and defense standpoint for many
years to come.
