    A legal assistance program providing needed legal advice and 
assistance to military personnel and their dependents has been in 
operation in the naval service since 1943. The program has improved the 
morale of personnel and reduced disciplinary problems since its 
inception. The purpose of this part is to provide guidelines for the 
continuation of the program.
