Congress Debates Fulbright Plan as Senate Divides
Senator Gale McGee argued strenuously against the Fulbright figure warning that the earlier Senate rejection of a foreign aid bill caused a bad reaction. A majority of the senators present appeared inclined against the proposal and Griffin suggested delaying the matter until Thursday. Earlier that day both houses passed and sent to the White House the remaining appropriations bills including a $70.5 billion defense bill and a $932 million District of Columbia bill with $166 million in federal funds. The House action cleared the decks for Representatives this session, as adjournment required cross‑branch approval. A compromise measure providing additional unemployment compensation for states was sent to the Senate before final passage of the money bill.
