IV.  In the matter of war measures affecting the peace and   
     post-war problems there now exists no organized authority   
     for negotiation, except in the single field of POSTWAR   
     ECONOMIC POLICY. It was there, as you will recall, we introduced   
     the section referring to negotiations with foreign   
     governments, as follows:
 
     
 
 
"5. After approval or modification by the Secretary of State and   
the President of the final conclusions presented by the Committee,   
the respective Assistant Secretaries of State (subject to the approval   
of the Secretary of State) will--with their developed knowledge of   
the subject in question and with the appropriate advice and assistance   
of the Adviser on International Economic affairs, and of other officers   
of the Department when desired--be the negotiating medium in the   
preliminary negotiations between our Government and similar representatives   
of the other interested Governments."(Organization and Procedure of Committee  
on Post-War Foreign Economic Policy," April 2, 1943.)
