Lay stated that the recommendation, contained in NSC Action No. 2250, was approved on June 29 by the President and he was thereby transmitting it to all holders of NSC 5808/1 with the request that paragraph 33 of NSC 5808/1 be deleted and that all subsequent paragraphs be renumbered accordingly.

NSC Action No. 2215–c, taken by the National Security Council at its 440th meeting on April 7, noted the President’s statement that he wished to leave NSC policy papers up to date for the next administration. Accordingly the Planning Board should submit to the Council such revisions in NSC policy papers. If the revisions were purely editorial, the Planning Board was to make a written report to that effect to the Council.
