Economic Adjustment/Conversion
Abstract
The House-Senate Conference Report on the 1985 Defense Authorization Bill requested the Secretary of Defense to study the feasibility of establishing an office of conversion in the Department of Defense and to submit the results of the study to the Armed Services Committees of Congress. The specific guidance from the conference on the proposed office of conversion feasibility study stated: The conferees have in mind such readjustment assistance programs as would provide the means to promote orderly economic adjustment that would: (1) minimize the dislocation of workers, communities, and industries; (2) encourage conversion of technologies and managerial and worker skills developed in nuclear systems production to programs which serve the civilian sector; and (3) provide economic and social service assistance to persons affected by the readjustment.
