Cover page is fragile. Includes Introductory Note Memorandum of Transmittal and Preface as well as sections on The Program in Brief The Program in Detail Administration of the Program and Economic Aspects of the Program. Appendixes will be printed as a separate document. The Enemy Branch of the Foreign Economic Administration made clear that this study should not be characterized as an expression of the adopted policy or program of the United States Government except as the policy recommended may have been reflected in the Yalta Declaration the Berlin Protocol or public announcements by the President or the Secretary of State. This report was submitted as a final accounting of the work of the Enemy Branch. The content were related to the Morgenthau Plan for the partitioning of Germany and its disarmament and deindustrialization but was distinct from that proposal. The report provides a support brief for the general principles on German economic and industrial disarmament. The report provides a specific and detailed program for executing those principles on German economic and industrial disarmament and the report outlines a long-term program for a lasting and permanent control of Germany's war-making power. In the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt the Foreign Economic Administration FEA was formed to relieve friction between US agencies operating abroad on September 25 1943. As described by the biographer of the FEA's chief Leo Crowley the agency was designed and run by "The Nation's #1 Pinch-hitter". S. L. Weiss describes Crowley's management style as follows: "Based on his own success in Washington he had concluded that sound administration meant clearly demarcating lines of authority between agencies and within each finding the right staff and giving it only the most basic guidance and coordination". Weiss' evidence for Crowley's design is a memo Crowley sent to James Byrnes on September 21 1943 of "his assessment of the conflict and confusion among the economic agencies operating abroad. His lengthy memorandum argued that the major culprit was the State Department which interfered with or micromanaged the execution of policy when it should only formulate and coordinate it. That led to problems in the field ranging from wasteful duplication or the more critical problems of needless delays and confusion". Weiss details these problems: "The British . were complaining of difficulty in dealing with 'conflicting jurisdictions' in North Africa; and the New York Times was emphasizing 'uncertainty regarding the representative spheres of OEWOffice of Economic Warfare Lend-Lease and OFRRO Office of Foreign Relief and Rehabilitation Operations . friction between OEW and the War Food Administration as regards foreign food purchases". According to the New York Times September 26 1943 Roosevelt said on the occasion of the establishment of the FEA: Crowley is "one of the best administrators in or out of government whom I find great satisfaction in promoting . to a position which will centralize all foreign economic operations in one operating agency". Crowley quickly got to work streamlining his new realm of 4009 employees at home and abroad. He merged fourteen agencies combined into FEA into four and created two bureaus the Bureau of Areas and the Bureau of Supplies. In general the Bureau of Areas was in charge of determining the needs of the various regions of the world while the supply side was then responsible for fulfilling those requirements . . the FEA was in charge of a dazzling array of functions. The global dimension of the FEA is demonstrated by the fact that in 1944 it had forty-three offices total with some on every continent except Antarctica. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

199380330Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1993. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. 2 ii 111 1 pages. Map. 13 Appendices. Index. Includes Executive Summary; Space Launch Activities; Space Science; Space Flight and Space Technology; Space Communications; Aeronautical Activities; Studies of the Planet Earth; Other Aeronautical and Space Activities; and Glossary. The annual "President's Report" is a good summary of the Government's aerospace activities each year. Mandated by law it contains information on aerospace activities conducted by 14 Federal departments and agencies as well as appendices containing useful historical data on spacecraft launches and budget figures. The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 directed that the annual Aeronautics and Space Report include a "comprehensive description of the programmed activities and the accomplishments of all agencies of the United States in the field of aeronautics and space activities during the preceding calendar year." This year's report has been prepared on a fiscal year basis which is consistent with the budgetary period now used in programs of the Federal Government. This report presents a fascinating snapshot of the U.S. space activities toward the end of the 20th Century. Fiscal Year FY 1992 was a significant one for U.S. aeronautics and space efforts. It included seven Space Shuttle missions and 14 Government launches of Expendable Launch Vehicles ELVs carrying a variety of payloads ranging from NASA missions to classified payloads. In addition there were eight launches of ELVs by commercial launch service providers operating under licenses issued by the Department of Transportation's Office of Commercial Space Transportation. On December 71991 the Air Force achieved initial launch capability for the new Atlas I1 launch vehicle in a commercial launch by General Dynamics with support from the Air Force. The other ELV missions launched four Navstar Global Positioning System two Defense Satellite Communications System and one Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites as well as two classified payloads and four NASA spacecraft. The Shuttle missions included one using the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science ATLAS-1 to study the Sun and our atmosphere as well as the first flight of the newest orbiter Endeavour which rendezvoused with retrieved and replaced the perigee kick motor of the INTELSATVI F-3 satellite that the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization INTELSAT controllers then deployed into its intended orbit. In aeronautics efforts have ranged from development of new civil and military aircraft and technologies to research and development of ways to reduce aircraft noise and improve flight safety and security. A key environmental effort in FY 1992 was monitoring ozone depletion. One of the major Earth science highlights of the year was finding that like the ozone layer over the Antarctic regions with its well documented annual depletion the ozone layer in the Northern Hemisphere is increasingly vulnerable to depletion by synthetic chemicals. Several Federal agencies have cooperated to study this and other environmental problems so we can improve the prospects for future generations who will inhabit the Earth. The budgets for aeronautics and space-distributed among 14 different Federal agencies have promoted important advances in the Nation's scientific and technical knowledge promising to enhance the quality of life on Earth through improved scientific understanding provide a more viable economy and healthier environment and ensure we live in a safer world.
