Page 208 - Our task today is to shape our defense capabilities to these changing strategic circumstances.

Page 45 - In the near term, we need to retain the option of a relatively rapid reconstitution capability. Over the long term, the generation of new forces will require prior investments in critical technologies, supporting capabilities (such as keeping the Selective Service System in good order) and weapon systems.
