 While, unfortunately, the defensive necessities of the United States call for study of the use of chemicals in warfare, I do not want the Government of the United States to do anything to aggrandize or make permanent any special bureau of the Army or the Navy engaged in these studies.I hope the time will come when the Chemical Warfare Service can be entirely abolished.To dignify this Service by calling it the "Chemical Corps" is, in my judgment, contrary to a sound public policy.
