Committees were named to survey Europe assets and needs, with a steering committee of 16 members and seats for other willing European states. The rules link the new economic body to the UN and set a Sept. 2 target to report Europe needs and four-year resources to the U.S. A temporary recovery authority was established and supervision defined.
