The Acting Secretary of State to the Chargé in Liberia ( Bundy )
13. Your 15, February 13, 2 p.m.
As under the proposed financial plan the Treasury is, within certain limitations, to meet the Liberian budget for absolutely necessary [Page 119] expenses, sanction cannot be given to a budget which would include salary for more than one cabinet minister for War, Interior, and Education Departments.
If it seems absolutely necessary and if Worley approves, you may state that as soon as Liberian revenues permit it is hoped that Education may function as a separate department rather than combined with Interior and War. It is noteworthy, however, that this Government itself does not have a separate department of Education.
