1 Selected resources as of June 30 are as follows: Unpaid undelivered orders, 1962, $9.897 thousand (1963 adjustments, -$6,992 thousand); 1963, $7.544 thousand; 1964, $7,544 thousand: 1965. $7.544 thousand. 1. Administration.-Funds are provided to administer and coordinate disaster relief assistance for the States. Simultaneously with the President's authorization of an allocation of funds to the Office of Emergency Planning for required disaster assistance, he authorizes an additional allocation to OEP for administrative purposes. 2. Aid to disaster areas.-Under Public Law 81-875, the Federal Government provides supplementary assistance to State and local governments in the event of a declared major disaster. Federal financial assistance is provided from the Disaster Relief appropriation, under which allocations may be made directly to a State, or to Federal agencies as reimbursement for expenditures in disaster relief work performed under this authority. Responsibility for administration of this program is delegated to OEP by Executive Order 10427.

Development grants.-These grants are used in less developed countries to (1) provide the advisers, teachers, equipment and supplies required for the improvement of human resources, especially in administrative, educational, technical and professional skills; (2) assist in the control and eradication of major diseases and other menaces to health; (3) establish and improve institutions which further economic and social development; (4) assist in planning and surveys of development programs and projects; (5) establish or improve basic physical facilities such as communications and transport, in those relatively few countries where the economies are unable to carry the obligations entailed by development loans; (6) pay transportation charges on shipments of supplies by approved American nonprofit voluntary agencies; and (7) finance research concerning the problems of economic development. 2 and 3. American schools and hospitals abroad.--To further the well-rounded training of qualified leadership in developing countries, the United States has provided funds to American-sponsored schools and institutions abroad. The Congress has authorized such assistance under section 214 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. In 1964, $19 million was appropriated of which not to exceed $2.2 million is available for direct dollar costs in connection with U.S.-founded or sponsored hospitals abroad and $4.7 million is available solely for payments in U.S.-owned excess foreign currencies. A total program of $12 million is proposed in 1965. 4. Surveys of investment opportunities. This program encourages private enterprise to undertake surveys of investment opportunities in the less developed areas of the world. Up to 50% of the total cost of such surveys is paid by AID in the event that the concern sponsoring the survey does not proceed with an investment. If such payment is necessary, the survey becomes AID property for use in attracting other investors. 5. International organizations and programs.--Funds requested under this account are to cover voluntary contributions of the United States to international programs sponsored by an agency of the United Nations as well as regional organizations and special purpose international financial institutions. Decreases in the amount anticipated to be required for these programs are the result of several factors, most importantly, (1) the major channel of U.S. support of economic assistance to the Congo has been shifted from the multilateral to the bilateral program; (2) several programs, including the NATO science and malaria eradication have been absorbed in the regular assessed programs of the respective organizations, and (3) contributions to regional organizations and to regional programs of international organizations in the fields of economic and technical assistance are included in the estimates for development grants and Alliance for Progress grants. The above decreases are offset by a scheduled increase in our contribution to the Indus Basin Development Fund and an increase in U.S. contributions to the United Nations Expanded Program of Technical Assistance and the Special Fund due to an increase in other member nations' con tributions. 6. Supporting assistance.-In furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives support is provided through this account to countries which need help in maintaining defensive forces or in attaining economic and political stability. Provision is usually made on a grant basis and, to the extent feasible, supporting assistance funds are used for purposes which also contribute to development. In several cases country situations have recently stabilized sufficiently to permit significant reductions in supporting assistance and increased concentration on development. Fifty-five percent of present supporting assistance requirements are in Korea and Vietnam, countries on the immediate periphery of the Sino-Soviet bloc. 7. Contingencies.-These funds are used to meet urgent requirements which cannot be foreseen at the time the budget is prepared. They are available not only to provide emergency assistance in disasters, but also to meet important international situations which create a need for immediate response in the U.S. national interest. 8. Alliance for Progress.-This account funds technical assistance grants to Latin America as part of the joint Alliance for Progress program. The United States also provides assistance under the Alliance through loans, Food for Peace, Peace Corps, Export-Import Bank, and private foundations and institutions. 9. Social Progress Trust Fund.-In accordance with an agreement of June 19, 1961, between the United States and the Inter-American Development Bank, the Bank administers a Social Progress Trust Fund, financed by the United States, from which loans and technical assistance grants are made to foster social progress in Latin American countries. An appropriation of $135 million was provided in 1964 to replenish the Fund and to finance activities of the OAS related to the Alliance for Progress. Funds are not advanced to the Bank until needed to meet disbursements from the Fund. Advances to and disbursements by the Fund are as follows (in thousands of dollars and dollar equivalents): Balance brought forward. Loan disbursements.. Grants and other disbursements.. It is anticipated that in 1965, the activities of the Social Progress Trust Fund will be carried on through expanded arrangements to be proposed for the Inter-American Development Bank. 10. Administrative expenses (AID). These funds are used by the Agency for International Development in Washington and overseas missions to administer economic programs. 11. Administrative and other expenses (State).-Administrative expense funds are requested for the Department of State for support of personnel involved in the administration of the foreign assistance program and of the Battle Act. Loans. A major portion of U.S. resources provided through foreign economic programs in less developed countries is in the form of loans. Data on loans made under the development loan activity, under the Alliance for Progress, and under the authority of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act are shown in separate schedules. A small portion of economic program funds available for grants are loaned each year rather than granted. These loans are made for economic devel |
