In a commencement address at Harvard on 5 June 1947, Gen. Marshall gave a speech outlining what came to be known as the Marshall Plan. (He was also receiving an honorary degree.) Listen to the full speech (or read the full text) here.
Ernest Bevin, UK Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1945-1951), gave this speech in Parliament (22 January 1948) regarding the Marshall Plan and maintaining the unity of Western Europe.
To mark the fiftieth anniversary of Marshall's speech, the Library of Congress created this online exhibition about the origins and effects of the Marshall Plan, featuring photographs and cartoons from the Prints and Photographs Division and items from the papers of Averell Harriman, special representative in Europe from 1948 to 1950. Harriman's collection in the Library's Manuscript Division contains photographs, letters, memos, and printed material that document the early days of this acclaimed international initiative. Harriman oversaw the European Recovery Program (ERP, the official name of the Marshall Plan).
