He said that he did not understand\nwhether the $4 billion figure which had been discussed at the\nWhite House included or did not include titles 2 and 3 countries.\nHe got Mr. Ohly to come to his office and discussed this\nwith him. Secretary Johnson then called Mr. Acheson and\nsaid that he had talked to General Lemnitzer and The General\nsaid that the $4 billion did include countries covered by titles\n2 and 3.\nSubsequently, General Lemnitzer, Mr. Bissell and Mr. Leva\njoined the Secretary and Mr. Ohly and it was finally agreed that\nthe figure requested would be $4 billion and that this figure would\ninclude the countries covered by titles 2 and 3. General Lemnitzer\nassured the Secretary that this amount would, in the opinion of\nthe Defense Establishment, be ample to cover the first year under\na proposed accelerated program for defense of these countries.\nL.
