Colonel EGGLETON. We have them all, sir. Mr. ANDERSON. They may be put in the record. I don't have them. (The information requested is as follows:) Question. What loss projections would result from the attrition for years' service clauses of ROPA; if the law remains unchanged (effective July 1, 1960)? If they were deferred to July 1, 1962? To July 1, 1965? AIR FORCE Answer. These estimates can only be made by projecting forward into the future the most recent inventory of Reserve officers by total years' service to indicate the year in which colonels will complete 30 years of service, and the majors and/or lieutenant colonels will complete 28 years of service. This is at best a rough estimate as our experience in this area does not lend itself to an accurate estimate of the losses that will accrue from other attrition factors prior to the time these officers complete the service indicated. Normal losses from death, disability, and failure to participate can be expected. In addition, a number of the officers on active duty with additional enlisted service may retire before completing the required years of Reserve service for elimination. A number of majors will be twice deferred prior to completion of 28 years' service. This percentage has been close to 30 percent over the past several years. Because of these various factors, it is noted that the reliability of each estimate decreases each year as it is projected into the future. Bearing in mind these considerations, the following estimates are submitted: ARMY Estimated number of Reserve officers of the Army who will complete the prescribed years of service for their grade during the period fiscal year 1961 to fiscal year 1970 because the formula contained in 3853 (2) will be used in the computation of those years of service NOTE.-See legend for an explanation of the figures contained herein. title 10, United States Code (age over 25) Estimated number of Reserve officers of the Army who will complete the prescribed years of service for their grade during the LEGEND 61 177.
