Excerpt from Control of Trade With the Soviet Bloc, Vol. 1: Hearings Before the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Government Operations, United Senate Senate, Eighty-Third Congress, First Session, Pursuant to S. Res; 40 The subcommittee met, pursuant to Senate Resolution 40, agreed to January 30, 1953, at 10:30 a. m., in room 357 of the Senate Office Building, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, chairman, presiding. Present: Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, Republican, Wisconsin; Senator Karl E. Mundt, Republican, South Dakota; Senator Everett M. Dirksen, Republican, Illinois; Senator Charles E. Potter, Republican, Michigan; Senator John L. McClellan, Democrat, Arkansas. Present also: Francis D. Flanagan, general counsel; Robert F. Kennedy, assistant counsel; Ruth Young Watt, chief clerk. The Chairman. The committee will be in order. Several weeks ago this subcommittee initiated an investigation of the trade by the free western nations with Soviet bloc countries, including Red China. The first objective of the subcommittee in this inquiry is to ascertain, if possible, the extent and type of the trade which is being carried on between the free world and the Soviet bloc and to determine what steps have been or are being taken to restrict this trade. Several Government agencies, including the Mutual Security Agency, the State Department, the Department of Defense, and the Commerce Department are and have been working on various phases of this problem. Mr. Stassen, as Mutual Security Director, has the primary responsibility for administering the Battle Act, which restricts the now of strategic materials to the Soviet bloc, and also serves as coordinator of the efforts of the other interested Government agencies which are working on this problem. Therefore, since our investigation has started, subcommittee representatives have worked closely with Mr. Stassen and his staff and wish to point out that we have received complete cooperation from these officials. Mr. Stassen and Mr. Frank C. Nash, Assistant Secretary of Defense, are the witnesses scheduled for today´s hearing. A considerable amount of the information and material concerning the problem of East-West trade is of necessity classified. These witnesses, however, will acquaint the subcommittee with the nature of the problem and will inform us as to the steps which have been taken or are contemplated by our Government to restrict this Communist trade.
