Quotations
"Our overall conclusion regarding the information program since our last report is that the program has increased considerably its effectiveness, but that constant and continuing effort will be required to achieve its full potential."
It is the intention of the Commission to continue to observe and advise the new International Information Administration of the State Department and, with the help of the members of its panels and other individuals having special competence in the information field, to assist in every way possible.
