DISCUSSION
9. The above estimates indicate that if U.S. assistance
were to be provided to cover the entire difference between
the total cost of European MTDP requirements and the costs
that the Europeans themselves are considered capable of
meeting, and if those costs were to be met on the MTDP
schedule, end-item and economic aid of something like 25
billion dollars would be required during the remainder of
the MTDP period over and above the anounts already requested
of the Congress for the fiscal year 1952. The magnitude
of this figure, about double the total assistance for
1953 or 1954 suggested by a projection of currently prow
grammed aid, raises serious questions on the desirable
course of action to complete the MTDP and requires funda
mental decisions on U.S. policy. It should be noted that
provision of such assistance would probably require a
substantial supplemental authorization request for FY
1952 and a very high peak of authorization in FY 1953.
Guidance is required on the presentation to be made to
the U.S. Congress and on the position the U. S. is to take
in negotiations with the NATO countries.

the terms of the Medium Torm Defense Plan. We have been
