Fresh Effort Made To Cut Appropriation
Backers of the emergency foreign aid bill push in the house to resist further cuts to the $597 million program. The Senate approved full funding, while a house committee trimmed to $590 million with China added as a recipient and $60 million for that country, leaving $530 million for Italy Austria and France to aid this winter. A later amendment to halt exports unless domestic needs are met failed, and wheat shipments to needy nations were discussed given tight supplies.
