      abstract = {This collection demonstrates how officials of the Economic  Cooperation Administration (ECA) looked for economic and  cultural opportunities to promote U.S.-China relations,  despite the prevailing Cold War suspicions of any and all  communists in the early Cold War era. Topics include ECA  efforts to urge the U.S. State Department to pursue a  friendly economic policy toward Communist China and not to  jeopardize U.S.-China economic relations; ECA  representation of the opinion of many American businessmen  in the face of U.S. State Department and White House  opposition; the failure of the Marshall Mission to China to  politicize the U.S. economic policy toward China; the  effectiveness of the ECA's implementation of aid to China;  and information on the China Aid Act as part of Title IV of  the Foreign Assistance Act. Documents include records of  Donald S. Gilpatric, foreign service officer; regional  offices correspondences; chronological files and cables;  interoffice memos; subject files of the office of the  director; among other records.},
