Panel Studies Splitting Foreign Aid Operations
An eight man panel of high administration officials began a Friday study of proposals to divide the U S foreign aid operation into several programs. President Johnson set up the committee to seek ways to make aid more acceptable to Congress. The panel could steer future aid to a lower cost level as Congress trimmed admin requests from 4.5 billion to 3 billion. Undersecretary George Ball chairs the group with David E Bell and officials from State, Treasury, Defense, the White House, Budget Bureau and Peace Corps. Some officials privately favor keeping aid under a single agency, arguing the current AID structure is the most effective after years of U S assistance.
