Congress Backs Short-Term Aid Funds Crackdown
Congress eliminated a restriction on foreign aid spending from a stopgap bill after President Truman pressed for relief. The House 256 to 12 approved, sending the measure to the President minutes before the fiscal year ended. The emergency action keeps agencies operating for 30 days as regular appropriations are debated. The cost of the year’s logjam drew sharp criticism from House GOP Leader Martin who accused the administration of stalling tactics.
