		In developing the AFQT, care was taken to make certain that speed was not emphasized, so that slow workers would not be penalized, and that the verbal instructions were not so difficult as to obscure the test items themselves.

	Chapter 15: The Role of the Secretary of Defense 1949-1951
		The President's agreement with Secretary Gray about reimposing a quota notwithstanding, it was highly unlikely that the Army could have done so without returning to the White House for permission, and when in May 1951 the Army staff renewed its demand, Pace considered asking the White House for a quota on Negroes in category IV.
		For the most part those racial issues that did involve the Secretary of Defense centered on the status of the Negro in the armed forces in general and were extraneous to the issue of integration.
		The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army admitted that Negroes were barred from Ethiopia, and although documentary evidence could not be produced, the ban was thought to have been imposed at the request of the United Nations.

		Indeed, the SOC opinion appears to indicate that if a citizen either is not �part of or supporting forces hostile to the U.S. or coalition partners,� or was not �engaged in armed conflict against the U.S.,� the President does not have the power to detain him outside the civil/criminal justice system under the AUMF.
		The four Padilla dissenters, however � including SGB, from the Hamdi plurality -- would hold that section 4001 prohibits, and the AUMF does not authorize, the protracted, incommunicado detention of American citizens arrested in the United States.
		This circumscription of the category of citizens that the AUMF authorizes the President to detain, and of the permissible justification for such detention, has potentially profound implications for the procedures used in imposing, and the terms of, detention.
