Papers, 1957-1991 (International Cooperation Agency) T.C.T. newsletter, May 1960: p. 7 (U.S. International Co-operation Administration) English Wikipedia website, viewed Nov. 2, 2015 (President John F. Kennedy created USAID from its predecessor agencies in 1961 by executive order. In 1961, the Congress approved the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 with President Kennedy's support, which retained the 1959 policy of international development as an independent U.S. objective and added an emphasis on the need for long-term efforts. Organizationally, the Act called for merging the ICA [International Cooperation Administration], the Development Loan Fund, and other foreign aid entities into a new agency. To implement the Act, the Agency for International Development, or A.I.D. (subsequently re-branded as USAID), was created within the State Department. Its internal organization was adjusted to emphasize country-by-country programming. As in the previous change in Administration in 1953, a major reduction in staff took place.)
