White House Eyes Ten Year Foreign Aid Plan
The Eisenhower administration aims to ask Congress for authority to bind the United States to a ten year program of aid to friendly nations. Allowing variable sums per country, a potential maximum of half a billion to a billion dollars could be disbursed in annual installments. The plan faces strong opposition in Congress, where members push to keep aid on a year to year basis and to trim overall foreign aid. Officials say the goal is a moral long-term commitment to back worthwhile projects, with yearly appropriations still decided by Congress.
