Foreign Aid Cut GOP Must Make Case
Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson urged the administration to clearly justify restoring any of the $1.1 billion cut from the foreign aid bill. The House slashed President Eisenhower's request from $4.9 to $3.8 billion, with efforts to restore at least $600 million.

The Foreign Relations Committee approved a House change, removing the phrase is able and replacing it with as long as it deems advisable.
