… it was a very interesting experience. I went through a series of successive promotions. At the time of President Roosevelt’s death I was the Deputy Program Vice Chairman, and chairman of what we called the Junior Requirements Committee, known as the Program Adjustment Committee.[3]
These committees were chaired by the War Production Board man, and they had on them representatives from the three armed services; that is the Army, the Army Air Corps — which wasTreated in effect as a separate service, although the Air Force didn’t yet officially exist — the Navy, the Maritime Commission for shipbuilding, the Petroleum Administration for War — the War Food Administration, the Foreign Economic Administration for civilian and military overseas needs — both lend-lease and others — and then a so-called Civilian Requirements Division of the War Production Board which was responsible for domestic civilian needs. It was headed in my day by a Harvard colleague of mine, my mentor at Harvard over many years, Professor William Y. Elliot (Rhodes 1919, CFR).
