One of the most fundamental and characteristic features of recursion theory is the fact that the recursive sets are not uniformly recursive. In this paper we consider the degrees a such that the recursive sets are uniformly of degree ≦a and characterize them by the condition a’0". A number of related results will be proved, and one of these will be combined with a theorem of Yates to show that there is no r.e. degree a < 0’ such that the r.e. sets of degree ≦a are uniformly of degree ≦a. This result and a generalization will be used to study the relationship between Turing and many-one reducibility on the r.e. sets.
