      SCOPE:

            The State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee (SWNCC), 1944-1947, and its successor, the State-Army-Navy-Air Force Coordinating Committee (SANACC), 1947-1949, was the U.S. Government's senior departmental committee for national security policies. It was formed to "provide the executive branch with analyses and recommendations on the political and military concerns arising at the end of World War II;" these committees "produced the groundwork on which much United States postwar foreign policy was based." (In 1949 the functions were taken over by the National Security Council).
       This set reproduces the full texts of all declassified SWNCC and SANACC case papers and related interagency and inter-Allied correspondence. There are over 400 detailed case studies "involving most major postwar problems and issues," including the occupation of Japan, the division of Germany, and the fate of Eastern Europe.
