Third, we can offer technical help in the formulation of programs for development which are adapted to the country's objectives and resources.

This includes assistance in -- assembling the basic economic, financial, technological, and educational information on which programing depends ; ;

surveying the needs and requirements over time of broad sectors of the economy, such as transport, agriculture, communication, industry, and power ; ;

designing the financial mechanisms of the economy in ways that will promote growth without inflation ; ;

and administrative practices which will make possible the more effective review and implementation of programs once established.

We must use common sense in applying conditions

The application of conditions in the allocation of aid funds cannot, of course, be mechanical.

It must be recognized that countries at different stages of development have very different capabilities of meeting such conditions.

To insist on a level of performance in programing and budgeting completely beyond the capabilities of the recipient country would result in the frustration of the basic objective of our development assistance to encourage more rapid growth.
