Senate Defeats Amendment To Slash Foreign Aid
The Senate rejected a : 48 to 40 vote on an amendment to cut funds in the 3.637 billion foreign aid bill. Earlier a 55 to 34 vote defeated a plan to limit defense support abroad for the current fiscal year. Sen. Long proposed both moves and aimed to reclaim 300 million from the bill, seeking new authorization next year. Johnson urged final action by nightfall as Jenner blasted foreign aid as government waste while Neuberger supported the bill, urging focus on mutual security rather than remote bases. Senate leadership signaled intent to refine spending limits in a later aid bill.
