ABSTRACT

The committee particularly desires to commend Ambassador Dulles for his outstanding contribution to the cause of world peace and bipartisan consultation. January 12, 1951, marked the beginning of a series of meetings, nine in all, between Ambassador Dulles and members of the consultative Subcommittee on Far Eastern Affairs of the Foreign Relations Committee. The committee then called upon Mr. Green H. Hackworth, legal adviser of the Department of State and one of the advisers of the United States delegation at the Conference. The committee invited testimony from anyone who wished to comment favorably or unfavorably upon the Charter and the Statute. The committee is satisfied that the Charter represents a remarkable accomplishment in the process of developing international cooperation. The committee was likewise impressed by the fact that very few opposition witnesses appeared to testify against the bill. Committee suggestions on specific problems were instrumental in determining the final text of the treaties.
