ACHESON
Discussed International Trade Organization Act which has gotten
nowhere in Congress. It is proposed that ITO be dropped and that trade
agreements be reached by new approach. It is suggested that we pursue
action on the Trade Agreements Act if we are to achieve any success in
the field of international trade and tariffs. This can be done by not
including ITO in new legislation to be introduced in the next Congress.
FOLEY

TOBIN
HARRIMAN
Agree.
STEELMAN
Thinks it will be tough to get any part of Trade Agreements Act
through. Secty of State might be able to trade with members of Congress
by agreeing to drop ITO if other part of act are supported.
FOLEY
The Grand Jury in Los Angeles will make a favorable report on
charges against Internal Revenue Dept made in So California.
DONALDSON
The Post Office Dept is breaking all records in volume of mail
being handled.
