Senator MALONE. Would you complete the record in that regard? Secretary DULLES. Yes. Senator MALONE. Now the ones that have recognized Communist China trade with Communist China, do they not? Secretary DULLES. Yes, and some who do not recognize nevertheless trade. Senator MALONE. Yes, I think that is exactly right. And, of course, it was proven through congressional hearings, that these nations also were trading with Russia with certain strategic materials like copper, were they not? England, for example? Secretary DULLES. No, they are not trading in strategic goods. Secretary DULLES. We have a list of strategic goods. My recollection is that copper so far has been kept on the strategic list, and that there is not trade in copper. There is trade I believe in copper wire. Senator MALONE. What is copper wire made out of? Copper? Senator MALONE. Once you have copper, no matter what form it is in you have copper; do you not? Secretary DULLES. Yes. Senator MALONE. For any purpose. Secretary DULLES. You can always melt it down. Senator MALONE. I will ask permission to have included in the record at this time a list of strategic and critical materials that is furnished by the armed services from time to time. It appears on page 10 of the Senate Report 1627, 83d Congress. Senator LONG. If that is already available, Senator Malone, that will be printed in the record. Senator MALONE. At this point.

You will find copper very prominent on that li Mr. Secretary, and the definition of it as a strategic or critical materi so designated since our domestic production does not equal our co sumption 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 belie grouped in group 1 and group 2. So that there will be no argume about what is strategic. These nations do trade in many of these materials, do they n with Communist China and, it has even been shown, with the Sov bloc. Secretary DULLES. They trade; yes, sir. Senator MALONE. Mr. Secretary Secretary DULLES. If I may say so, of course the United Sta also trades with the Soviet bloc. There is no prohibition of tra 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 yes. Senator MALONE. Could you get it and make it part of your tes mony? Secretary DULLES. Yes.
