House Sets Four Billion Aid Ceiling in Foreign Aid Bill

The vote was brief and the chamber moved on to a separate 3.6 billion dollar appropriation under the ceiling limits, both below President Eisenhower’s requests. Congress awaits Eisenhower’s Gettysburg announcement to decide if funds will be boosted on the floor or left to the Senate.
