Mr. MARTIN. Serving as the technical assistance committee, it has very broad control. However, it does have a steering group of nine embers which does not include any Soviet bloc members.

As far as the children's fund is concerned, there is a board elected y ECOSOC which consists of all the members of the social comittee plus eight other members. There are three Soviet bloc memers on the social committee who ex officio serve on the governing oard for the children's fund.

Our people report that the Soviet bloc members have not taken an active interest in these programs, and have not thus far presented iny problems.

Senator HICKENLOOPER. We ought to have a way of correcting that situation.

Mr. MARTIN. They do not in any case contribute. Our organizational problem is that by previous agreements these governing bodies with which they do participate have these responsibilities in ex officio. capacity, and it would require a decision that the social commission, for example, should no longer be all members of the children's fund executive board, or a decision of the Technical Assistance Committee, which is not particularly active, be selected in a new fashion.

BILATERAL ASSISTANCE TO EDC AND GERMANY

Mr. Chairman, I have one other thing I would like to put in the record, if I may. In the House committee hearings, the question arose of the arrangements being made to negotiate bilateral agreements covering military assistance to the EDC and to Germany and Assistant Secretary Merchant made a statement about the status of those negotiations, which I think it might be useful to have also in the Senate record, and with your permission I would like to put that in so that the Senate would be officially informed of the status of these bilateral negotiations.

These, of course, are all in anticipation of the ratification of the EDC and of the German contractuals.

The CHAIRMAN. Are they extensive.

Mr. MARTIN. It is one page.

The CHAIRMAN. Have you got it with you?

Mr. MARTIN. Mr. Marcy has a copy.

The CHAIRMAN. I don't know why if it is just one page that you don't read it.

Mr. MARTIN. I do not have a copy and I do not know whether Mr. Marcy has it with him.

Mr. MARCY. I will put it in the record.

[Whereupon, at 5 p.m., the committee adjourned.]

REQUEST FOR A COMMITTEE TRANSCRIPT

The CHAIRMAN. Some time ago Mr. [Robert] Kennedy of the staff f the Senate Investigating Committee 2-I understand he is Senator Kennedy's brother-called to know if he might see the transcript of Monday, May 25, covering the testimony of Kenneth Hansen, Acting Deputy Administrator of the Mutual Defense Control Act of 1951. Mr. Hansen has been the subject of investigation by their comnittee. Mr. Kennedy's attention was called to the regulations on the use of executive transcripts. His request does not come within the hree groups listed on the end of the attached sheet showing the regulations. The question is, does the chairman wish to bring the question to the committee? He does.

Mr. Kennedy called again yesterday and wanted to know if the committee had made any decision. The answer was we didn't have a quorum before, but we have got a quorum now, and the question is whether we are going to turn that over to that committee at the request of Mr. Kennedy, a member of the staff, the transcript of Kenneth Hansen's testimony taken on Monday, May 25.

Senator KNOWLAND. What was the testimony in reference to?
The CHAIRMAN. It related to East-West trade.
