Dear Couaress n McCot ack:
Thank you for aeading, r. Mtldl letter to use. I well
r srAernber his presentation '_and the chat enges he outlined and identified
h with ras today , ' anything, they are more pressing than
several years age Our very survival, and indeed the survival of
wee+t .ocratic Sovernrrk t, dep-ands' in large measure upon our success in
reaching the hearts and :ids of the masses of people in the lesser
developed areas - in our de > s yati not only the value of free
tutions, but also that the United States and its Allies stand for and are
active in attexnpting to bring about the eradication of hunger and disea c
and the orderly and progressive development of political and social
institutions.
A1thoo,gh we have not adopted the concept of a special instituti cr
agency, as suggested by Mr. McDonald, the Government has long been
atte: pting to achieve these objective through the various branches with
responsibilities in the field foreign affairs. I believe that every day
the United States Infdrizzition -Agency (USIA) through the Voice of Aaxerica
(VOA,) and the : r.ny offices of USIA attempts to project a factual and
constructive itn&ge of American political, social, and scono- c institution .
Through its leadership grants and special programs for prominent and
prorxd ing, educational' and political personalities, the Department of State
