DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON
March 10, 1949
My dear Mr. President:
As of February 28, 1949, $123,950,685.71 had been
paid to the Chinese Government or to United States
agencies at the request of that Government from the
$125,000,000 appropriated for additional aid to China
through grants under Section 404 (b) of the China Aid
Act of 1948. The Chinese Embassy and U.S. Govern-
ment agencies concerned have submitted reports to the
Department on deliveries to China a.s of December 31,
1948. During the period ending December 31, 1948,
approximately $61 million worth of supplies and equip-
ment were shipped. Figures on shipments since that
date will be available in the near future.
Section 04(b) of the China Aid Act authorized the
President to make available to China, as additional aid,
not to exceed $125,000,000 through grants on such terms
as he might determine and without regard to the provi-
sions of the Economic Cooperation Act of 1948. After
the passage of en appropriation for this purpose on
June 28, 1948, the terms decided upon by you governing
the administration of the grants were transmitted by
the Secretary of State to the Chinese Ambassador in
a note dated June 28. The Chinese Ambassador indi- -
cated his Government's acceptance of these terms in
a note dated July 1, 1948. The entire amount appro-
priated, $125,000,000, was subsequently allocated to
the Secretary of the Treasury to be disbursed by the
Treasury Department, upon the certification by the
Department of State that the amounts requested are
supported
The President,
The Whi te House.
