Editorial Note
Interagency planning for the fiscal year 1956 Mutual Security program culminated in a meeting between Secretary Dulles and Stassen at the Department of State on November 30, at which time agreement was reached on MSP Non-Military Programs, and at the 227th meeting of the National Security Council on December 3, 1954, when fiscal year 1956 budget considerations were discussed at length. The meeting between Dulles and Stassen was summarized in a memorandum by Nolting to Secretary Dulles on December 1, 1954. This memorandum and the memorandum of discussion at the 227th meeting of the National Security Council, December 3, 1954, are printed in volume VI.
