That would be the armorer. If the question was meant to be who authorized live ammo to be distributed to the troops, then that would have fallen into the State Governors decision.
How did they communicate in 70's?
The primary form of business communication in the 1970's was the telephone. There were no fax machines and very few computer networks available to anything other than big universities and military systems.
The primary data communication was via a device called a TELEX machine. Which used speical TELEX lines to talk to each other on. The tones were then converted into text and printed on a golf ball typewriter. At the same time punched tape was created in 5 bit binary which could be read through a Telex machine to reprint the messages again.
Refer to the link at the bottom of the page for a photgraph and description of this wonderful (albeit noisey) machine.

Who was the first person to invent sticky notes?
Short Answer: 3M Scientists Dr. Spencer Silver and Arthur Fry.
Long(er) Story: The invention of sticky notes is a two-part story that, like many great inventions, starts with an absolute accident.
In 1968, 3M scientist Dr. Spencer Silver was trying to formulate a super-strong adhesive when he serendipitously stumbled onto a "low tack" repositionable formula. While Dr. Silver found no immediately use for the substance, he at least had the foresight to patent his discovery. Patent 3691140 for "Acrylate Copolymer Microspheres" was issued on March 9, 1970.
Silver thought of many uses for this new adhesive, but no one at 3M could find a marketable use for the stuff. That is, until Arthur Fry, another scientist at 3M, watched a presentation Dr. Silver made about the substance in 1973.
Legend has it that Fry found a use for Silver's glue after struggling to keep the pages of his church hymnal properly bookmarked. Frustrated at the slipping sheets of paper, he realized that if the adhesive could be applied to the back of paper his problems would be solved.
Working with a sample of Silver's adhesive concoction, Fry continually experimented with different ways of coating the backs of paper - eventually settling on coating only one edge. Demand for samples of the removable note papers grew within the company, and 3M finally agreed to market the product.
3M's Post-It Note, the original sticky note, was released to the public April 6, 1980.

How did stagflation and recession harm the economy in the 1970's?
During the 1970s, stagflation—a combination of stagnant economic growth, high unemployment, and rising inflation—severely harmed the economy by eroding consumer purchasing power and creating uncertainty in business investments. The oil crisis exacerbated these issues, leading to skyrocketing energy prices that further dampened economic activity. As businesses faced higher costs and reduced consumer demand, many were forced to cut back on production and lay off workers, deepening the recession. This period of economic malaise highlighted the limitations of traditional economic policies and led to a prolonged struggle for recovery.
