DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON
September 24, 1947
Dear Mr. President:
I have the honor to transmit to you herewith the initial report
of the Committee of European Economic Cooperation which I have today
received from the Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Ernest Bevin, Foreign
Minister of the United Kingdom. The report was signed on September 22,
1947 by representatives of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Eire, France,
Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom, who have been en-
gaged in the preparation of the report in Paris since July 12, 1947.
The report is divided into two volumes. The first of these consists
of a general statement of the problems of European economic recovery,
the plans of the European countries concerned to meet these problems and
the assistance which these countries believe to be necessary from the
United States and other non European countries and agencies to restore
their economic position. It also contains summary statements of the po-
sition and prospects of the participating countries and western Germany
in food and agriculture, energy sources, iron and steel, transport, timber
and manpower as well as in their balances of international payments and
their internal financial situation. These summary statements are drawn
from the reports of Technical Subcommittees of the Conference, which are
published in full in volume two.
TREMAN
yours,
