This summary of the National Security Act of 1947 is helpful, but I would also reccommend including the full text of the article and "plain English" summaries of the more noteworthy segments, as I'm sure they're as complicated as any other legislation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.99.170.81 (talk • contribs) 06:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Quoting segments of the text at least and glossing them seems like a good idea. Alexander 007 05:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where signed?

I remember hearing the Truman actually signed the act aboard his Air Force C-118 Liftmaster, Independence, since this was the act that created the United States Air Force, but so far have found nothing to support this. Does anyone else know of this? --rogerd 03:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I found it. It was his C-54 --rogerd 03:54, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

If this bill was signed on the Presidential Plane, how come the picture captioned is in the Oval Office?

Oh, nevermind. Well that was stupid.

[edit] Picture and Where signed?

Right. Different act. Different time.
