The Board approved the paper in principle, subject to working out
by the Department of Stator with the Bureau of the Ludgat, of justifi-
cation for the Congressional presentation. In view of certain sensitive
considerations involved in expanding the ?progrem, the Poardts approval
was contingent on no mention being made of Yugoslavia or other sensitive
areas of the world, in the authorizing legislation. It was agreed that
the language employed in delineating areas should be broad enough to
cover contingencies not possible now to foresee. It was further agreed
that the Board's review of the legislative approach to Congress would.
await the results of the State Department's discussion with the Bureau
of the Budget.
