The CHAIRMAN. Please come to order. HEARINGS PROCEDURE We want to caution the guests here to please be quiet. This is a big room and it is hard to hear, and I hope you will observe the wishes of the committee. Members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and the Senate Armed Services Committee are meeting here today in joint session to begin hearings on the President's proposal for the Mutual Security Act of 1952. On March 6 President Truman asked the Congress to consider proposals to extend the military defense support and technical assistance to many of the free nations of the world. He requested that $7.9 billions be authorized for these purposes. ་ We have before us the Honorable W. Averell Harriman, Director for Mutual Security, the Honorable Dean Acheson, Secretary of State, the Honorable Robert A. Lovett, Secretary of Defense, and Gen. Omar Bradley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. These witnesses will make their statements to us in joint session. We do not plan to question them today. Instead, after this session, the committees of the two Houses will interrogate the respective witnesses at times to be arranged by themselves. I ask, therefore, that the witnesses today not be interrupted by questions during their testimony. This applies to the members of all of the three committees. |
