1 This reorganization was made possible largely by the passage of S1704, by the 81st Congress in May, 1949. In the realm of foreign affairs, both the legislative and executive branches have acted promptly on the Commission's recommendations.

2 The task force, appointed in January, 1948, was headed by Mr. Harvey H. Bundy and Mr. James Grafton Rogers, former assistant secretaries of state, with the Hon. Henry L. Stimson as adviser. John F. Meek, Jr., was executive secretary in charge of a small staff which prepared various studies.
