IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JULY 2, 1947
The Assistant to the President, John R. Steelman,
today announced that an interagency working group is being
established to expedite the procurement of materials and equip-
ment under the Greek Aid Program. The interagency group will
be composed of representatives of the Departments of State,
Treasury, Agriculture and Commerce. The respective Cabinet
FRUMCD NARA
Members are being asked to name their representatives at an
early date.
This action was taken, Mr. Steelman said, after Secre-
tary Marshall had called to the attention of the President the
necessity that all agencies of the Government join in giving the
program their full and active support.
The primary function of the working group, Mr. Steelman
said, will be to seek out and break any bottlenecks that threaten
to delay procurement of key items urgently needed in the Greek
Aid Program. Robert C. Turner, of Mr. Steelman's staff, will
serve as chairman of the group.
