Economy booster praises Davin Bett and AID revamp
In June 1965 Congress praised Davin Bett for overhauling the Foreign Aid program. The Bell-revamped AID shifted more than 60 percent of spending to the domestic economy, boosting U.S. production by 1.2 billion dollars and reducing the dollar gap. Supporters, including Rep Albert, credited Bett with stabilizing the program and strengthening the economy through home purchases and careful overseas aid.
