Senate panel trims 20 percent from overseas military aid
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee cut 20 percent from the administration’s overseas military aid request. The panel, voting 7 to 6, reduced military assistance from 705 million to 506 million for the year ending June 30, 1972, and dropped the companion economic aid from 800 million to 699.4 million with 85 million earmarked for Israel. It also added a blanket prohibition on shipping any military equipment to Pakistan. Earlier moves included halting aid to Greece and capping Cambodian aid at 250 million, contending the latter endangers Cambodia’s defense against communism. The House passed a 3.4 billion aid bill, with final action postponed pending House action on an end-the-war amendment.
