The 17-member Commission
on Foreign Economic Policy,
headed by Clarence B. Randall
of Chicago, chairman of the
board of Inland Steel. and COM
posed of 10 members of the SEN

representatives, was set up last

Report Shows Disagreement.
The 102-page report sub
mitted to the President and
Congress generally reflected
sharp disagreement among the

did not offer a single dissent,

which this country faces with

It was the second denuncia-
