Mr. Brown
SUBJECT:
Conversation between Judge Kee, the Secretary
and Mr. Gross on April 25, 1949.
1.
In the conversation between Judge Xee and the Secretary this
afternoon, Judge Kee left the attached original of a letter from the
Comptroller General together with inclosures, Please have photostat
copies made so that the original can be returned within the next day
or two to Judge Kee. The Secretary desires to have a study of this
subject with a recommendation as to handling of the problem. Specifi-
cally. should the Institute be treated as a Government corporation, as
a regular Department or establishment or in some intermediate capacity.
2.
Judge Kee told me he had scheduled the UN Participation Act amend-
ments for Committee hearing immediately following the State Department
Reorganization Act hearings. Please follow this and make sure that a
bill is introduced if one has not been already been introduced. Make
sure we have a bill which is identical with the revised bill pending be-
fore the Foreign Relations Committee.
3.
I brought up the matter of the ceilings on certain international
organizations. Judge Kee said he would be glad to sponsor appropriate
legislation to remove the budgetary ceilings, Please follow through and
make certain that an appropriate bill is drafted and given to him as soon
as possible.
4.
Jddge Kee agreed to withdraw HR 2388, on the Swiss Clains matter and
introduce a bill in the form in which we originally recommended to the
Congress. Please follow this up.
5.
Judge Kee agreed to set the ITO for hearing as soon as possible in
May. We told him we would have the Charter message in Congress tomorrow
(April 26). Be sure to have drafted and in Judge Kee's hands the legi-
slation necessary as soon as possible.
6.
Judge Kee, after discussing the German situation with the Secretary
said he was going to set up a seven member sub-committee right away.
7.
On the Nationalization Claims Bill, Judge Kee said he would withdraw
the Bill as introduced by Sol Bloom and introduce one of his own along the
lines of our original recommendation
Ernest A. Gross
