1 — S H O R TITLE A N D POLICY
SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.—This part may be cited as the "Act for
International Development of 1961". SEC. 102. STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress that peace depends on wider recognition of the dignity and interdependence of men, and survival of m e institutions in the United States can best be assured in a worldwide atmosphere of freedom. To this end, the United States has in the past provided assistance to help strengthen the forces of freedom by aiding peoples of less developed friendly countries of the world to develop their resources and improve thfir living standards, to realize their aspirations for justice, education, dignity, and respect as individual human beings, and to establish responsible governments. The Congress declares it to be a primary necessity, opportunity, and responsibility of the United States, and consistent with its traditions and ideals, to renew the spirit which lay behind these past efforts, and to help make a historic demonstration that economic growth and political democracy can go hand in hand to the end that an enlarged community of free, stable, and self-reliant countries can reduce world tensions and insecurity. It is the policy of the United States to strengthen friendly foreign countries by encouraging the development of their free economic institutions and productive capabilities, and by minimizing or eliminating barriers to the flow of private investment capital.
