Staff Only

The Oklahoma City Air Materiel Area (OCAMA) is facing a worker crisis and is implementing a crash educational program to fill 1,931 new jobs. General McNickle is working to recruit more highly trained technicians to meet the shortage of skilled workers. Eunice Shriver, wife of Sargent Shriver, will visit Oklahoma to support the mentally retarded. The transfer of the aircraft instrument workload to OCAMA will create additional jobs and increase the annual payroll. The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce is assisting with the transition. Sen. and Mrs. Harris are actively involved in supporting Mrs. Shriver's visit to Oklahoma.
