TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATESThis report of Civil Air Patrol activities during its 35th year

includes a reminder of the organization's beginning. From itsorigin as a crisis-born idea, Civil Air Patrol has progressed fromanti-submarine patrol using an improvised bombsight 'riggedfrom 20 cents worth of hairpins, glass, an d tin cans to presentday search and rescue mission planning using satellite weatherdata and computer stored flight path data. CAP has remainedvital because of its willingness to adapt and keep pace withchanging requirements and technology.As indicated by the cover photograph, we are proud of theassistance Civil Air Patrol has provided in motivating youngpeople to seek careers in the United States Ail' Force. Over 1,400former CAP cadets have entered the Air Force Academy sinceits establishment in 1955.We are also proud of the 96 formerCAP cadets who are members of the 1980 class which enteredthe Academy in August. In addition to being the largest numberof former CAP cadets in an entering class, the group also in-cludes six of the first women to be admitted to the previouslyall-male institution.Within are details of a few of the many .instances of GAPmembers assisting people in distress, CAP's work in developingaerospace education classroom material, and its leadershipdevelopment programs for both its cadet and senior members.It is a privilege to present this report of Civil Air Patrol ac-tivities during calendar year 1976 as required by Public Law476.

One hundred ninety .suchworkshops benefitting approximatelv 10.000 teachers,wereconducted during 1976.The long-range goal of the program is to d ev elo p aero-space ed ucation L ead ers by motivating teachers, providingthem with educational opportunities, and by instilling inthem an enthusiasm to return to their communities anddevelop knowledge and awareness of aerospaee education,its sig nif ican ce an d its benefits, in the citizenry of theseco mm un ities ..There ate many avenues .o f approach to theaccomplishment of this mission and creative teachers mayoff.er courses or units in space events, aviation or in otherrelated subjects or may add aerospace education as an en-richment factor to the regular courses taught. By usingaerospace materials as teaching tools in conjunction withtimely course material. student interest is captured. As oU1oountry becomes more and more aerospace oriented, thebenefits of such workshops as a means of keeping teachersinformed o f the latest events and developments in thisf ast-m ov i n g field ar e invaluable.C iv il A ir P atro l'S " role in providing assistance, support,and guidance to these workshops is especially significant.Assistance is provided in the development of curriculum,the assignment of military reservists as teachers and inother support roles, and by seek-ing out and providingaerospace experts as teachers and speakers and, in somecases, b y arranging air transportation to an aerospace siteselected for its interest an d significant contribution to theworkshop curriculum.

Wisconsin Worksho.p. Civil Air Patrol supports approximatelyOne hundred and ninety (90) aerospace education workshopsconducted at colleges and universities throughout the nationeach year. A unique workshop program is conducted annuallyat the University of Wisconsin-Stout at Menomonie under thedirection of Dr. CharlesThomas. The workshop class composedof high school Industrial Arts teachers each year builds an ex-perimental aircraft which is later displayed at the ExperimentalAircraft Association Convention at Oshkosh. The 1976 projectwas a Sonerai II which looks much like - a miniature "Spitfire"and is powered by a converted Volkswagen engine capable ofmoving the aircraft through the sky at 150 miles an hour. A keyleadership figure in the 1976 workshop was Bill Ghan whoseMansfield, Missouri high school students have built eleven air-craft to date.

Association WithOther OrganizationsThe success of a nonprofit service organization is realizedthrough dedicated volunteers who contribute their time andresources in support of worthwhile objectives. Also, sepa-rate organizations sometimes unite in support of commoninterests. CAP ' s association with other organizations range

from the international to the community level; from the A irCadet League of Canada cooperating in the InternationalAir Cadet. Exchange to the local Salvation Army disasterunit cooperating in providing relief to the victims of anatural d is as te r. C i vi l Air Patrol's foremost affiliation iswith the United tates Air Force.FAA CAP Cooperation. An example of the relationship be-tween the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Civil AirPatrol (CAP) was made public by the 23 November releaseof anew FAA study of general aviation activity conducted jointly bythe two organiz-ations. The study was based on data collectedby almost 1,000 CAP members in a two-day survey at 245 air-ports throughout the country where they painstakingly recorded35,000 aircraft take-offs and landings and interviewed 7,800pilots. FAA Administrator, Dr. John L . McLucas remarked thatCAP's work in collecting this valuable safety research ioforma-tion merits the appreciation of the entire flying community.

A lA FOR CE B ASEThe Air Force Chief of Staff, General David C.Jones, has encouraged Air Force base and unitsupport of Civil Air Patrol, stating, "The CivilAir Patrol has contributed significantly to the AirForce rnlsslon, therefore, a close associationwith individual CAP units and renewed emphasison support ot CAP programs by the total force Isconsidered appropriate."In early 1976,the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing(TFW), DavlsMonthan Air Force Base, Arizona.commanded by Brig Gen Will iam O. Curry, Jr.,

began sponsoring a local CAP cadet unit The354th Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS) wasdesignated as host for the unit which was re -designated as the 355th CAP Cadet Squadron.The 354th TFS Commander, Lt Col E.E. GUillot,assumed the role of CAP Aerospace Educationand Activities Officer and other Air Force person-nel assumed similar leadership positions in thecadet unit. The unit quickly grew from 12 to 70cadets under Its new sponsorship. Meeting inthe environment of the fighter unit and assocl-atlng with active duty Air Force personnel pro-vided the cadets with strong motivation to corn-pete and excel In the program.enthusiasm of the cadets was further heightened by orientation flights In HHIH Huey Helicopters, C-130,KC-97,T-33, and Cessna 172 alr-craft and activ'itlessuch as visits to the Air ForceAcademy, Luke Air Force Base fOTfamiliariza-tion with the F-4 and F15 aircraft, and the GilaBend Gunnery Range to observe bombing andgunnery practice. During a special three-weekprogram in July, cadets were permitted toactually perform Air Force jobs In maintenance,operations, administration and medical fieldsunder the supervision of Qualified USAF per-sonnel.The association of the US Air Force with itsclviUan auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol, is ideally axern-plified In the mutually supportive and coopera-tive splrlt of the Joint Air Force/CAP program atoavls-Monthan Air Force Base.
