PRESIDENT GRANTED LEAVE
Mr. Darden informed the Board that President Eisenhower had requested the members of the
special Committee that is engaged, under the chairmanship of Mr. Benjamin Fairless, in a study of
foreign aid policies for the State Department, to visit certain areas of the Far East and
elsewhere between December 27th next and February 5th. He had not contemplated such travel, Mr.
Darden said, when he originally accepted membership on this Committee, and he would resign from
the Committee if the Board thought it best for him to do so.
The Board resolved that the President be granted leave for the period of foreign travel to
be undertaken by the Committee.
