• Abstract:
  Public Law 75 of the 80th Congress approved by the President on May 22, 1947, provided 400 million dollars in aid to Greece and Turkey. It was subsequently decided that of the 100 million dollars granted to Turkey, 5 million dollars should be used for a public highway program. The original implementation plans contemplated that the highway program would be undertaken by the Army, which organization with others of the military were made responsible for the remainder of the program under the over-all direction of the State Department. The highway program was, however, transferred to the Bureau of Public Roads on December 4, 1947. The program was immediately activated and by subsequent legislative enactments, funds were provided for the continuation of the program through the calendar year 1958, at which time it had been decided, through an understanding reached with the Turkish General Directorate of Highways and the International Cooperation Administration that the mission had been accomplished and that the technical assistance program should be discontinued.
