The United States Secretary of State, Mr Dean Acheson, said today that it would take about $25,000,000,000-spread over the next three years -to provide defence "capital equipment" for America's allies.

Urging Congress to approve an $8,500,000,000 foreign military and economic aid bill, Mr Acheson said that two more such programmes would be necessary to equip allies in Europe and Asia.
