Yes, Sir. I am aware of the figure quoted. The answer to the second part of the Question is "about 550,000 acres," and the answer to the third part "practically none." I would add that at least 70 per cent. of the total acreage occupied by the Armed Forces continues in agricultural use of some kind.
