Senate Approves Foreign Aid Bill With Tight Restrictions
The Senate narrowly passed a $2.67 billion foreign aid authorization bill, mandating a February cutoff of Turkey military aid, a three year phase out of South Korea arms, and an end to U.S. arms for Chile. The 46-45 vote sends the measure to a doubtful House fate amid broader administration concerns.

Natural Gas Prices Rise But Fall Short of Goals
The Federal Power Commission raised the ceiling on new natural gas prices by about 20 percent retroactive to June 21, potentially lifting average residential bills by 2.9 percent. Interior Secretary Morton urged Congress to end all price controls before Christmas, arguing deregulation would cut inflation and raise wellhead prices. He said the proposed ceiling caps would worsen shortages and push consumers toward pricier fuels like oil.
