Hello Roy,

 WD>> OK, I'm ready now to take a big dump.

 RW>> Sheezzz. Don't add more to the pile Lee already layed down.

 LL>> Tell us about COMECON, the Soviet Union's riposte to the Marshall
 LL>> Plan.

RW>Comecon was NOT a reposte to the Marshall Plan.

Really?

RW>Comeocn was the Eastern Bloc's reply to the formation of the
RW>Organization for European Economic Co-operation in western Europe,
RW>which had nothing to do with the Marshall Plan.

No shit, Sherlock.  COMECON was not the Marshall Plan.

RW>The OECD is a forum of 34 countries committed to democracy and
RW>the market economy, etc.. OECD was organized in 1961 by a Frenchman
RW>named Robert, if that will help to clarify your pea size disgruntled
RW>mind.

France did not participate in the Marshall Plan.  Neither did Spain.
COMECON was designed for Eastern Europe (and Joe Stalin).

For more information about the Marshall Plan (officially the European
Recovery Program, ERP), check out this url -

Scroll down a bit and you will find a short mention about COMECON.
Enough to enlighten you about what it was all about.
