Following your discussion with General Clay on Tuesday, I thought you might be interested in this breakdown of the 1963 AID program for Africa:
[Page 330]| Countries receiving less than $1.0 million (obligations/authorizations) | |
| Mauritania | Malagasy Republic |
| Burundi | Dahomey |
| Rwanda | Chad |
| Congo (Brazzaville) | Togo |
| Central African Republic | Upper Volta |

| Countries receiving between $1.0 million and $10.0 million | |
| Niger | Kenya |

The 1963 total for Africa is $252.2 million. The eight countries receiving more than $10.0 million account for 74.5% of this total. The 26 countries receiving less than $10.0 account for an aggregate of $54.2 million or 21.5%. The remainder—$10.1 million (4%) is for regional programs and expenses.
