NSC DETERMINATION NO. 1
REPORT BY THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL
regarding
AN INTERIM GENERAL EXCEPTION UNDER SECTION 1302
OF THE THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION ACT, 1951
I. Background
1. Section 1302 of the Third Supplemental Appropriation Act,
1951 (Public Law 45, approved June 2, 1951), directs that no economi
or financial assistance shall be provided to any foreign country
which, after 15 days following its enactment, exports or knowingly
permits the export of certain named categories of commodities to the
Soviet bloc during any period in which the Armed Forces of the Unite
States are actively engaged in hostilities in carrying out a decisio
of the Security Council of the United Nations. In order to be eli-
gible for economic or financial assistance each country must certify
that after the prescribed period it has not exported or knowingly
permitted the export of the prohibited items to the Soviet bloc.
2. Section 1302 requires that the Secretary of Defense certify
to the Economic Cooperation Administrator a list of specified art-
icles or commodities. The list in question was certified on June 5,
1951, and is attached as Appendix 1.
3. Section 1302 authorizes the National Security Council to
make exceptions to its several provisions upon an official determina
tion that such exceptions are in the security interest of the United
States.
4. The terms of Section 1302 apply to a wide variety of eco-
nomic and financial assistance programs. They pertain to loans and
grants such as those made by the Economic Cooperation Administration
to many Export-Import Bank loans (such as loans to various Latin
American countries for the strengthening of basic industries or for
expanding the production of strategic minerals). and to a variety of
agricultural, health, and development and technical assistance pro-
jects carried on largely under the Point IV Program. In addition tc
general programs conducted under a broad authority granted by the
Congress, they apply to a number of assistance measures authorized
individually by specific legislation, such as those for the loan to
Spain and for aid to Yugoslavia. The provisions of Section 1302 ap-
ply to some 60 countries receiving some form of economic assistance
even though it may be very limited in many cases. (See Appendix 2.)
In support of the various general and special assistance measures,
