It seems to me. therefore. that the justification for maintaining a separate operating agency for foreign aid no longer exists. When the program was in the magnitude of $5 billion to $7 billion each year. there certainly was need for a separate agency. But -today. when the economic grant portions. the technical assistance. and the smaller programs. including the Childrens Fund. the Palestine refugee program. malaria eradication. and special Presidential funds admittedly for international political uses. total less than $1 billion per year. I can see no reason why the International Cooperation Administration should not be completely integrated into the Department of State. The day has passed when there was a need for separate country desks. separate personnel systems. separate Congressional liaison offices. separate security procedures. and so forth.
