MUTUAL SECURITY PROGRAM The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was read and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations: To the Congress of the United States: Transmitted herewith is the Seventeenth Semiannual Report on the Operation of the Mutual Security Program for the period ending December 31, 1959. The report was prepared under the direction of the coordinator for the mutual security program by the Department of State (including the International Cooperation Administration), the Department of Defense, and the Development Loan Fund. In the decade of the 1960's our country will face new and somewhat different problems in the mutual security area. For example, the divergence in living standards between the Western democracies and the underdeveloped countries poses a growing problem to our purpose of maintaining and extending free political and economic institutions. It also presents an increasingly acute need for development assistance. Our friends and allies in Europe are also aware of this need, and as their ability to provide development assistance grows, we are increasingly consulting with them to determine how the burden can most efficiently be shared by all. The growing need for development assistance demands of our mutual security program the utmost prudence and foresight in the management of its resources for such purposes. I am accordingly convinced that our program must be flexible, as well as strong, so that we may be able to deal with this and other problems that arise quickly, wisely and successfully. DWIGHT D.
