West Germans propose using surplus farm goods for Spain base costs
Senators Herman Welker and Pat McCarran disclosed that the Eisenhower administration was weighing a West German plan to trade up to 20 percent of base construction costs in Spain for surplus U S farm commodities stored in the United States. They said the plan, presented to Ezra Taft Benson and forwarded to President Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles, could involve German engineers and technicians under U S Spain defense agreements. The proposal aims to convert three billion dollars of stored surpluses into dollars to offset base costs, with U S and West German firms supplying labor and facilities as needed.
