Instead of UMT, the House is urging an Air Force of 70 groups, a figure somewhat in excess of Secretary Forrestal's estimate, as a more practical measure.

The ground troops alone-to say nothing of 125,000 Air Force officers and men-would require 12,500 tons of supplies daily. Movement of this tonnage from the U.S. and protection of this one base from sea attack would involve a major naval force...
