American Legion National Commander William J. Rogers has sent the following message to the President: "On behalf of The American Legion, I want to convey to you our deep shock and concern over your decision to scrap the B-l Bomber. "We believe that in so doing you have seriously compromised our strategic deterrent capabilities in the face of continuing Soviet unwillingness to agree to reasonable terms in the SALT negotiations and the extensive Soviet buildup in offensive weapons. "In our opinion, loss of the B-l is a serious threat to the balance of power, and a severe setback for all of the free world. We urge that you re-examine the facts and reconsider your decision." On Monday of this week National Commander Rogers had expressed The American Legion's concern for the future of the B-l, and in a letter to President Carter had asked for his support of the program. The earlier letter to the President follows: "On August 26, 19 76, over three-thousand elected delegates, representing the 2.7-million members of The American Legion, voted unanimously to support the procurement of the B-l Bomber. The aging fleet of B-52s currently carries half of our nuclear megatonnage. We believe if our strategic nuclear force is to remain a credible deterrent, it must be modernized. Since the U.S. bomber force is the most flexible instrument of our strategic power, we urge that priority be given to its upgrading. "With the Soviet Union demonstrating continuing intransigence at the SALT bargaining table, it is even more imperative that the B-l be placed in full production as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration of this very important matter." -alns- 0MERICAN LEGION NEWS SERVICE NATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS DIVISION—THE AMERICAN LEGION C. D. DeLoach, Chairman James C.

An intruder desirous of entering your chain-guarded door can either kick it open, slip the chain with his fingers or cut it with cutters.
