Clay Recommends Cut In Foreign Aid
A presidential committee led by Gen. Lucius D. Clay urged Kennedy to cut foreign aid by about 500 million dollars soon, while preserving core programs under tighter management and stricter controls. The panel, in a 9 to 1 vote, said current aid is too diffuse and wasteful but called for continued aid in a higher quality, reduced quantity. The report, while not urging an immediate cut, challenges Kennedy’s 4.9 billion dollar budget for next year and notes congressional doubt about reaching that target.
