One Agency for Handling Aid Proposed by Vandenberg
Senator Vandenberg released a Brookings plan calling for a single administrator in a new agency to manage the European recovery program with cabinet status and minimal State Department control. The administrator would have broad power domestically and abroad, with the President final arbiter on disputes. The plan, prepared for study by the Foreign Relations Committee, envisions an eminent citizens board to advise, while the President and Secretary of State would handle funding decisions and international accords.
