Compromise Bill On Foreign Aid Near Passage
In Washington a compromise 3.56 billion dollar foreign aid authorization bill won a verbal setback from House-Henate conferees and moves to the House next Wednesday. It authorizes continued economic and military aid to allies to counter communism, while a separate funding bill will be considered later. Rep. Otto E. Passman criticized the measure as too high and impractical, signaling possible deep cuts in the final appropriations. The plan also shifts military aid to the Defense Department for a two year trial, reducing Passman’s subcommittee control over foreign aid.
