The American Red Cross by year end 1966 faced record expenditures of 120.8 million dollars, the highest since World War II, as disasters from Hurricane Betsy and expanded South Vietnam duties drove a 1965-66 budget. The report notes 84 thousand servicemen served monthly, Betsy relief for 296 thousand people, 34,600 families aided in recovery, and 2.99 million blood units collected.
