- Description:
- Honorable Helen Gahagan Douglas criticizes the hasty and ill-considered vote taken by the House of Representatives on Spain and the European Recovery Program. She argues that the vote has damaged the United States' foreign policy, weakened the non-Communist forces in Europe, and undermined the country's leadership within the United Nations. Douglas warns against sacrificing moral integrity in the fight against communism and calls for a re-examination of how foreign policy decisions are made in the future. She urges the conferees to repair the damage caused by the vote.
