In these notes from his interview with Harry B. Price (for Price's book, "The Marshall Plan and Its Meaning," which was published in 1955), former Secretary of State George C. Marshall discusses the origins of the Marshall Plan, the U.S. aid program for European economic recovery which he proposed in a speech at Harvard University on June 5, 1947. Marshall describes the assistance he received from George Kennan and other State Department officials in formulating the proposal, and credits Republican Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan with helping to achieve its enactment by Congress.
