Lovett Links NATO Pact to Soviet Rejection of Recovery Plan
Former undersecretary Robert Lovett told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the North Atlantic Treaty grew from Russia's savage reaction to the European recovery plan. He said the Soviet government and its Communist subordinates fostered insecurity in Western Europe, making a security alliance essential to protect Europe’s recovery and deter aggression. He noted Truman asked for a security framework and that Bradley would testify on military details the next day.
