    (International Cooperation Administration)

Abstract

Bilateral technical co-operation programs are being carried out by the International Cooperation Adminis tration and the governments of approximately sixty-five under developed countries of the world. These are countries which have requested assistance from the United States Government in those activities which are felt to be fundamental to their economic and social development. Programs in these countries are jointly planned, staffed, and financed. The International Cooperation Administration operates through the medium of a United States Overseas Mission, the Director of which re ports to the United States Ambassador in the particular country. Programs are designed to demonstrate techniques and train local technicians and administrators. As soon as these objectives have been accomplished, negotiations are ini tiated to have the projects absorbed as normal functions of the country in question or to be terminated.
