Senator Knowland telephoned the Secretary that he had
received word through Mr. McFall that Mr. Acheson wished
to know what their interpretation was of the proviso in 602 of
the ECA Bill. The Senator said that this had been discussed,
that he had gone over it with Senator Connally and that Senator
Connally had concurred in their interpretation. The Senator
proceeded to give his interpretation (roughly) - that funds
(ECA) were available SO long as the President deemed it prac-
ticable, etc. Senator Knowland said he would offer no amend-
ment to the bill.
The Secretary said that the meaning of the proviso was
clearly as the Senator had stated it.
(The above memo was written after the Secretary's departure
for London. No distribution was made of it. LDB said
he was not sure just what they were driving at in the
conversation. The above is my interpretation.)
