Also, we do not know what form that bill will take with reference to Deputy Assistants or a new Assistant. But such part of this program for the Reserves, all of them-National Guard included as may be left under you, you have already spoken that you would be positively in favor of pushing the program forward, is that right? Mr. FITT. Absolutely, sir. Senator STENNIS. As I say, we have a lot of proposals. I do not know what turn it will take, but there is going to be something written in that bill. You will still be left in the picture if you are confirmed, left in to a degree. Members of the committee, the statement filed here by Mr. Fitt on his financial affairs, even though brief, has been reviewed and Mr. Darden, who for many years has handled these matters for the committee, says that that meets the usual requirements of the committee. Are there any other questions? Senator CANNON. One further question, Mr. Chairman. Mr. FITT. No, sir. Senator CANNON. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is all. Senator STENNIS. All right, Mr. Fitt, thank you for coming in. We certainly appreciate your testimony, and we wish you well in the discharge of your duties. Mr. FITT. Thank you, sir. Senator STENNIS. We will now go into executive session. (Whereupon, at 11:30 a.m., the committee went into executive session.) (The nomination of Mr. Alfred B. Fitt to be an Assistant Secretary of Defense was subsequently approved by the committee in executive session and confirmed by the Senate on October 6, 1967.) NOMINATIONS OF LT. GEN. LEONARD F.
