Senators Hint At Cutting Foreign Aid Spending
Two Republican senators signaled possible cuts to foreign aid next year unless Western Europe increases its own defense funding. Senator Fulbright warned sharp cuts could weaken the mutual defense program and hurt morale among U S allies. Bridges and Hickenlooper pressed for a reassessment as NATO delays arms goals shift by one to three years. The debate foreshadows potential shifts of aid toward Asia under the incoming Eisenhower administration.
