You will find copper very prominent on that list, Mr. Secretary, and the definition of it as a strategic or critical material, so designated since our domestic production does not equal our consumption and it is indispensable in an emergency. Secretary DULLES. Yes. Senator MALONE. That is the general definition; is it not? Senator MALONE. On this list there are 77 such materials I believe grouped in group 1 and group 2. So that there will be no argument about what is strategic. These nations do trade in many of these materials, do they not, with Communist China and, it has even been shown, with the Soviet bloc. Secretary DULLES. They trade; yes, sir. Senator MALONE. Mr. Secretary Secretary DULLES. If I may say so, of course the United States also trades with the Soviet bloc. There is no prohibition of trade with the Soviet bloc. Senator MALONE. What does our trade consist of? Do you have the list or could you furnish it? Secretary DULLES. The Department of Commerce could furnish it; yes. Senator MALONE. Could you get it and make it part of your testimony? Secretary DULLES. Yes.
