To the Congress of the United States: I am transmitting herewith the 42d report to Congress on lend-lease operations for the calendar year 1960.

Information on the status of the various lend-lease accounts of our Allies of World War II is contained in the report. As explained in previous reports there were two main types of lend-lease procedures under which other countries undertook to reimburse the United States: (1) Settlement agreements whereby the financial undertakings of the other governments were funded on credit terms, and (2) arrangements described generally as "cash reimbursement accounts" under which the recipients were to pay the United States in cash at the time the lend-lease goods were provided.

In summary, lend-lease settlement agreements thus far concluded with various governments provide for the eventual payment to the United States of $1,577,570,755.50, plus interest. According to data supplied by the Treasury Department as of December 31, 1960. total collections and credits on these accounts amounted to $751,142,976.96. Payments during 1960 totaled $49,401,268.02. Additionally, on the "cash reimbursement accounts" foreign governments had, as of December 31, 1960, paid $1,301,529.123.32 of the $1,326,934,982.11 owed to the United States. A total of $109:310.00 was received during 1960.

Under the lend-lease program, the United States also loaned 409,782,670.64 fine troy ounces of silver to various countries. As of December 31, 1960. 366,066,067.73 fine troy ounces had been returned. Shipments of silver not assayed by the close of 1960 are not inIcluded in this figure.

This report gives an account of the negotiations with the Soviet Government on a settlement for some of the lend-lease aid received from the United States prior to V-J Day. As mentioned in the previous report, the discussions, which began on January 11, 1960, were discontinued on January 27, 1960, because there appeared to be no common ground for continuing. There have been no further developments on this matter.
