Senate unit ties foreign aid to impounding funds
Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to condition continued foreign aid on release of impounded domestic program funds. An amendment by Chairman Fulbright would bar obligations after April 30 unless about 4.5 billion dollars are released by the president for Agriculture, Transportation, Health Education Welfare and Housing and Urban Development. The panel adopted a Case amendment to require congressional authorization for Vietnam aid after June 30, and cut the military aid authorization to 1.55 billion from the 2.2 billion requested. The action followed political party lines and awaits full Senate and House action.
