For convenience, the central lend-lease agency has usually been referred to herein as
the Foreign Economic Administration or FEAand statements pertaining to this agency are
intended to pertain to the agencies which preceded or succeeded it, when appropriate.
Official responsibility for obtaining reports and maintaining accounts and records was
ass.ignedto the Division of Defense Aid Reports, in the Executive Office of the President
on 2 May 1941.
Subsequent transfers placed this responsibility with the Office of Lend
Lease Administration, the Foreign Economic Administration, the State Department, and on 31
May 1946, the Treasury Department,.
The State Department has retained policy responsi
bilities. For additional information see the International Branch, Hq, ASF report: Inter
