Editorial Note
H.R. 6802 was reported out favorably by the House Foreign Affairs Committee on June 9, 1948 (House Report No. 2291, 80th Cong., 2d sess.), but had not been acted upon by the House of Representatives when the Congress adjourned conditionally on June 20, 1948. When the Congress was reconvened by President Truman on July 26, 1948, the House of Representatives took separate action on Part IV of H.R. 6802, relating to the United Nations Headquarters Loan Agreement, but regarding other provisions of the bill action was deferred until the beginning of the 81st Congress (a special statement pledging the House leadership then to take action was issued on August 3, 1948).
