Nixon seeks 2.6 billion foreign aid package before Congress
President Nixon plans to present a 2.6 billion foreign aid request to Congress with 2.28 billion for economic aid and 375 million for military aid. The plan calls for partial reforms and sets technical assistance and private investment as priorities while a broader overhaul awaits a blue ribbon study. The package is 62 million below Johnson's prior proposal yet about 900 million above last year's enacted level, drawing potential cuts from economy minded Republicans and Democrats. Nixon convened leaders from both parties at the White House to discuss the program.
