The Secretary of State to the Embassy in the Philippines
Toisa 2957. Emb need not concern itself about the continued availability beyond Jun 30 1951 of the $10 million made available to Dept of Def under MDAP for emergency assistance to the Philippines. Official records will show that the entire $10 million was expended from the appropriation concerned during May. Funds were transferred to a Dept of Def special deposit account without fiscal year limitation and will continue available for the purposes intended until exhausted. Advise Gen Hobbs.
