Biological Sciences Communication Project. SPONS AGENCY ERIC Clearinghouse on Library and Information Sciences, Minnt.auolis, Minn.; Federal Library Committee, Washington, D.C. PUB DATE Oct 70 NOTE 283p. EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$1.25 HC-$14.25 DESCRIPTORS *Directories, *Government Libraries, *Libraries, *National Libraries, School Libraries, Special Libraries ABSTRACT This Roster of Federal Libraries represents an attempt by the Federal Library Committee to identify each of the more than 1,900 individual libraries serving the many departments, committees, agencies, courts, and other formal organizational entities in the Federal Government. They include six types: Presidential, national, general, academic, school, and special or technical. Part I of the three part roster is arranged, alphabetically, within the designated Branches of the Government, then by country, state and city. Part II provides a geographic arrangement, first by country alphabetically, then by state, city, department and bureau. Part III is a listing, alphabetically, by general subject category or type of library. Within the subjects the libraries are arranged by country, state, city, department and bureau. A descriptive explanation and index to contents precedes each of the three parts. A National Plan for Federal Library Statistics has been designed by the Federal Library Committee's Subcommittee on Statistical Programs. It is scheduled for testing in fiscal year 1971 and implementation starting in fiscal year 1972. The Plan will permit accurate, annual identification of Federal libraries. Rosters, based upon information received, will be issued on a regular basis.

Strickland Interview Summary MilColl OH 833 Interviewee: Wilton W. Strickland Interviewer: Sion Harrington III Interview Date: February 11, 2003 Interview Location: Tarboro, N.C. Interview Runtime: 1:28:07 Biographical Sketch Wilton Wayne Strickland was born on June 10, 1934, in Nashville, N.C., to William Berry and Tempe Vada Lewis Strickland. He was the youngest of eight siblings, and was raised on a farm in Nash County, N.C. He attended North Carolina State College (present-day North Carolina State University) from 1952 to 1956, where he participated in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC). Strickland entered active duty in the U.S. Air Force in February 1957. Initially an Aviation Cadet recruit, Strickland was unable to continue with the program because he had married shortly before he went on active duty, which went against the Aviation Cadet Training program rules. He reverted to enlisted status, and attended basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Strickland then attended mechanics training at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita County, Texas. He served as an air craft mechanic in the 98th Bombardment Wing at Lincoln Air Force Base, Nebraska. In 1959, Strickland entered Officers Candidate School at Lackland AFB, and would receive his commission on February 15, 1960. He then attended navigator pre-flight training at Harlingen Air Force Base, Texas; bombing navigation training at Mather Air Force Base in Sacramento County, California; and aircrew survival training at Stead Air Force Base in Washoe County, Nevada.

  • LCD-77-321 Proposed Closure of Kincheloe Air Force Base, Michigan
    DCCIMENT ESUME 02042 - A1252232] ( / Proposed Closure of Kincheloe ir force Base, Michigan. LCD-77-321; B-168700. April 29, 1977. 15 pp. Report to Rep. Philip E. Ruppe; y Robert P. Keller, Deputy Comptroller General. Issue Area: Facilities and Material Management (700). Contact: Logistics ard Communications Div. Budget Function: National Defense: Defense-related Activities (054). Organizaticn Concerned: Department of the Air Force; Department of the Air orce: Kincheloe AFE, I. Congressional Relevance: Pep. Philip E. Ruppe. The proposed closure of Kincheloe Air orce Base is part of a continuing effort by the Air orce to reduce support and overhead costs and to reallocate additional resources for force modernization and increased combat capability. Findings/Conclusions: Numerous errors were found in the Air Force's estimate of costs and savings if Kincheloe were closed. The current proposed cloture could result in aual recurring savings of about $2e millicn; one-time costs of about $27.9 million; and one-time cost avoidances of about $9 million. The closure would further depress the economy in the eastern part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and undoubtedly would result in increased Federal expenditures to assist affected communities and individuals. The total estimated one-time costs include estimates for impact aid to school districts and for unemployment compensation and food stamps for affected Kinocheloe employees. Closure of tbe base would also drastically affect the local eccncmy by causing an increased housing vacancy rate, depressing real estate values, and causing a substantial business loss in the area. Federal response to the closing might also include establishing a local development organization, developing a regional plan to attract private investment, training unemployed persons to fill existing or new jobs, converting Department of Defense facilities for civilian use, and providing loans to build and equip plants for nes industry.
