Bargain Basement Marshall Plan Faces Political Storm
Stewart Alsop reports that the administration’s official Marshall plan structure may shift to a large, independent agency with a director, coordinating abroad and through committees with state, commerce, treasury, and agriculture. Congress will likely limit trust with its own oversight, while experts warn the 16 to 20 billion dollar price may fail to deliver a healthy Europe, possibly totaling near 30 billion dollars in costs.
