Subject: Proposed Reply to Turkish Ambassador's Request for
Aid to Meet EPU Deficit.
Problem:
To reply to the request made to you by the Turkish Ambassador
on September 22 (Memorandum of Conversation attached) that the
Department support with MSA Turkey's request for allocation of
Special Resources funds to meet current Turkish EPU deficits.
Discussion:
At the time the Turkish Ambassador called on you, and subsequently,
discussions of the Turkish problem were held between the Department
and MSA. Concurrently, a representative of OEEC was sent from Paris
to Ankara for an on-the-spot survey of the Turkish position. He has
recommended that the Managing Board extend a $15 million credit to
Turkey to help cover Turkey's EPU deficit for September, which we
are informed by Paris is approximately $16.9 million. Both the
Department and MSA agree that it is neither advisable nor necessary
to allocate Special Resources to Turkey at this time.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that you authorize me to inform the Turkish
Embassy that the problem raised with you by the Turkish Ambassador has
been the subject of continuing study by the Department and MSA; that
Turkey's negotiations with the multilateral OEEC organization appear
to have resulted in a satisfactory solution of the September EPU
deficit; and that both MSA and Embassy officers in Ankara are working
closely with the Turkish Government in connection with the eventual
allocation of MSA aid to Turkey for FY 1953.
Attachment:
Memorandum of Conversation.
