A View From The Governor's Office
By Gov. Raymond P. Shafer
This week, I am happy to be
able to report to the people of
Pennsylvania that, contrary to
what might be imagined, a sud
den end of the war in Vietnam
will not adversely affect persons
now employed in our defense
industues.
That is the conclusion I have
reached after leviewmg results
of a confidential survey of ma
jor defense industries which
now employ more than 130,000
Pennsylvanians to determine
whether a tiansition from a war
to peace time economy would
cause them to lay off large num
beis of workeis
Happily, the answer is “No 1 "
Actually, the icsults of those in
terviews show that the majority
of manufactuiers now imolved
in production of war goods
would indeed welcome peace
time as a time for expansion
and economic giow’th.
Many of those interviewed
told u's they are currently sac
nficing this growth in order to

meet war demands While there
is a limit on the profit of a de
fense contract, they said, there
is no limit on the loss that a
company might incur. The re
sult is that they would much
prefer to manufacture commer
cial products.
Our survey further showed
that most of these firms are now
preparing for the expiration of
defense contracts by making
marketing plans for commercial
products. This preparation for
the transition will ease any un
employment problems that
might exist.
Our survey also showed that
there will not be a rapid can
cellation of any defense con
tracts, rather a gradual reduc
tion of production that would
not begin for six months after
the end of the war. This would
be necessary to replenish stock
piles that have been depleted.
In addition, there is the cer
tainty that an end of the war
would bring increased funds for
research and development pro
grams which have been slowed
or completely halted by the fi
nancial needs of the war
These funds will increase em
ployment in Pennsylvania where
we are making great strides to
bring in new research and de
velopment firms Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia have become world
leaders in this area and will ex
perience even greater growth

when peacetime programs can
be implemented.
Consequently, we have deter
mined from this survey that the
majority of the workers in Penn
sylvania’s defense industries will
be absorbed quite easily in the
transition of peacetime.
I am personally proud to
bring this information to the at
tention of Pennsylvanians be
cause it is the kind of informa
tion we have not had available
before.
It is available now because we
have taken the lead among the
slates, through the Economic
Advisory Council, to provide
economic growth data that helps
us better understand what is
happening'to our economy and
what we can do to improve it.
This means jobs for people in
the long run.
For example, before I asked
the Council to make its study on
the impact of defense spending
on Pennsylvania’s economy
there was not one state in the
Nation that could estimate what
would happen to its economy
and the jobs of its people if the
war in Vietnam ends Now we
can. New York State liked the
idea so much that a study was
undertaken there a year after
ours and the results of that
study are now in.
This is the kind of informa
tion we need for intelligent de
cision-making and for helping
people prepare for the future.
It is just one additional piece of
evidence that we are doing new
and better things to give people
additional service at the state
level.
Today is the tomorrow you
worried about yesterday and
it was pretty awful, wasn’t it?
