ACTIONS
1. THE POSITION OF THE UNITED STATES WI TH RESPECT TO GREECE
(NSC 5/1)
SECRETARY FORRESTAL read the comments of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
on this paper, which reiterated their previous comments on NSC 5, par-
ticularly as to the possible need for partial mobilization.
MR. SOUERS pointed out that this paper makes no commitment as to
the use of armed forces, but provides for the necessary planning con-
cerning their possible use.
MR. DRAPER noted that each step leads to further commitments of
armed forces and in turn reduces the personnel available. He felt that
we were adding new missions which in total would require selective ser-
vice.
SECRETARY MARSHALL said that this constitutes a change from the
previous one-year program of assistance to Greece, to provisions for a
continued program. He said that a proposed program for aid to Greece
and Turkey for the next fiscal year was being prepared. He felt that
it was unfortunate that the amount for Turkey would be the same as for
of
last year and that all of it would be spent for military purposes. He
believed that this put us in a bad political position.
