The Secretary advised Judge Kee that the Department was not certain at
the moment when it would be able to send the Military Assistance Program Bill
to the Congress and that it therefore would be preferable to set the ITO hear-
ings to begin Tuesday, May 17. Judge Kee agreed. The Secretary stressed the
importance of prompt action on Economic Assistance to Korea due to the necessity
of the Bill clearing Congress by June 30, when the present assistance program
lapses. Judge Kee expressed his willingness to interrupt the ITO Hearings at
any time the Korean Aid Bill reached his Committee.
The Secretary urged Judge Kee to be as forceful as possible in getting the
Committee to report out the UN Participation Act without damaging amendments.
It was agreed however to make certain changes proposed by the Department and
others proposed by the Committee which were not objectionable to the Department.
