EGA Procurennent Authmzotions for Fishery Products During April 1949, the Economic Cooperation Administration announced, among the procurement authorizations for commodities and raw materials, a total of only $647,000 for the purchase of fishery products. All of the month's authorizations were for purchases to be made in the United States and possessions. In addition, EGA announced on April 12 the cancellation of an authorization for $668,000 which was to be used for the purchase of canned fish from the United States and pos- sessions for delivery to Greece. The cancellation was due to the failure by Greece to issue import permits for this procurement. Of the total amount ($21,076,911) authorized by EGA for the procurement of fishery products, only $3,860,800 will be used for purchases in the United States and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced
