these major policy questions In
search Of recommendations:
l. Should Congress be asked to
grant funds with congressional re-
strictions written into the authori-
zation as was done with the Brit
ish loan? Or should the money
be appropriated to a Federal agency
to administer2 Or should credits
be advanced to foreign governments
subject to continual checks and con-
trolls by a United States agency?
Finance Channeling an Issue.
2. How should the financing be
channeled-partly by direct con-
gressional appropriations, partly
through existing or new funds of
the International Bank and the
Export-Import Bank? Or through
new agency. perhaps, European
Reconstruction Corporation" as has
been suggested in some quarters?
8. Should the program be run by
a Government department such as
State, Commerce, Agriculture (for
the food program) or Interior for
the coal programD?
Preliminary reports may 60 to
the special House and Senate groups
studying foreign aid, the members
of which are now in Europe, it
was indicated, but 1t seems evident
from statement by President Tru-
man in a press conference yester-
day that the various congressional
committees involved will not for
mally meet to consider the plan the
President gives them until around
mid November, if the current Har-
riman schedule is adhered to.
Whether 1t would be profitable to
call Congress into special session
before these committees report out

doubtful.
