MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR, FOREIGN OPERATIONS ADMINISTRATION
In accordance with the recommendations contained in your
memorandum of June 29, 1954, I hereby determine that not to exceed
$1,000,000 of the funds available under the Mutual Security Act of
1951, as amended, may be used pursuant to the provisions of Section
513(b) for the purpose of furnishing special assistance to Japan
for compensatory relief and rehabilitation of Japanese nationals
who sustained personal and property damage as a result of the
recent nuclear test in the Marshall Islands, without regard to
the requirements of the Mutual Security Act or any other Act for
which funds are authorized by the Mutual Security Act. I have
determined that such use of funds is in furtherance of the purposes
of the Mutual Security Act and is important to the security of the
United States. The Secretaries of State and of Defense, and the
Director of the Budget Bureau are to be notified by you of this
determination.
You are also requested, on my behalf, to notify
the Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
/s/ Dwight D. Eisenhower
