TOP SECRET SECURITY 6 - maximum duration of two or three years. During this period it would be possible to ask the Congress to review the legislative situation and, if it deems it to be appropriate, to pass legislation which would make possible longer term arrangements. Alternatively, during such a period it should be possible for independent American oil companies to construct or charter sufficient tankers to relieve the major U.S. oil companies of their responsibility at the expiration of such a time period. Following a reply by the U.K. Government, which we expect daily, to our recent proposals, further prompt action on our part will be contingent upon the President's agreement to: A. Authorize the use of $100,000,000 available under the Defense Production Act of 1950, As Amended, for the purpose of making an advance against the purchase of Iranian oil and products. TROMAN B. Use his authority under Section 708(a) and (b) days AND A of the Defense Production Act of 1950, As SERVICE" Amended, to approve a program under which one or more U.S. major oil companies, either alone or in cooperation with Anglo-Iranian oil Company, would purchase and market Iranian oil products.
