No longer will a nations political influence be based 11 on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military 12 will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely 13 to industrial competitiveness. Its often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world 14 . The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to 15 effectively in the economic markets of the world.

Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt 16 and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the pur pose of maintaining peace. Our industry over most of this period was 17 .It is ironic that it is just this industry that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.
The competitiveness of Americas industrial base is an issue bigger than the
Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major 18
forces in our society government, industry, and education. That is not to say
that the Defense Department will not be a 19 force in the process. But we
20 cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry.
