years. When completed, the museum will house a

SECNAV speaks on military medical care
The CNO, CMC and I want to
add a comment to recent new re-
ports drawing attention to in-
cidents of unsatisfactory mil-
itary medical care. press
attenti on has focused on a hand-
ful of examples. These reports
create an erroneous overall im-
pression in and outside the Navy
Department regarding the qual-
ity of Navy medicine. This
fosters unwarranted apprehen-
sion about the quality of med-
ical care throughout the Naval
service.
The record is clear. We are
beneficiaries of a superb
health care system. Recent re-
ports have demonstrated we mai n-
tain a standard of qua!ity that
civilian medical service should
strive for. We have major ef-
fects underway to make it even
better. Our medical depart-
ments are manned by highly
qualified doctors, dentists,
nurses, corpsman and other
health care professionals. We
are also working to ensure the
Navy's budget contains the
dollar resources necessary to
sustain and improve your health
care. From the surgeon general
to the most junior corpsman,
you can expect and should ex-
press appreciation for the
special efforts they put for-
ward in providing the quality
medical care out people merit.

ally haunted by a complex supply system that has
driven people to trash usable government property,
is working to rid the system of ghosts by simpli-
fying and saving through a program called Waste-
buster.
Supply and maintenance people have been train-
ed to prevent waste, but until recently the sup-
ply system's complexity has resulted in some us-
able property being thrown away. Significant
changes have been made to supply procedures during
the last five months to encourage all Air Force
people to be Wastebusters.
Headed by Air Force Logistics and Engineering
officials, the campaign has simplified turn-in
procedures and given units more control of their
supplies. Although the program is in its infancy,
changes are in place at almost all base supply
and maintenance operations and some bases report
significant responses.
In some instances, hundreds of thousands of
