GOVERNMENT
Since July 1947, Willard L. Thorp, Assistant Secretary of State
for Economic Affairs, has served concurrently as United States
Representative on the Economic and Social Council of the United
Nations.
In order that Mr. Thorp may be able to carry the increased
responsibility incumbent upon him as Assistant Secretary of State
for Economic Affairs, it is desirable that he relinquish his
responsibilities as United States Representative on the Economic
and Social Council. To prevent a vacancy in the latter position,
and especially in view of the imminence of the Eleventh Session
of the Economic and Social Council, which is scheduled to convene
at Geneva, Switzerland, early in July, I recommend that Mr. Thorp's
resignation be accepted to become effective upon the assumption
W.

of office by his successor.

xw,e,
As successor to Mr. Thorp, I am submitting for your approval
and signature the nomination of Isador Lubin to be the United States
Representative on the Economic and Social Council of the United
Nations. It is hoped that his name may be submitted to the Senate
for confirmation at the earliest opportunity.
Since November 7, 1946, Mr. Lubin has been representing the
United States on the Economic and Employment Commission of
the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations and would
continue to attend the sessions thereof as the United States Repre-
sentative when appointed to the Council.
If you approve Mr. Lubin's appointment as the United States
Representative on the Economic and Social Council it is recom-
