Senate Near Passage of Six Point Seven Billion Arms Aid Bill
The Senate moves toward passage of a 6.7 billion foreign military aid bill after Sen. James Allen trims 35 million from African aid and deletes Mozambique funding. Israel and Egypt top the beneficiaries with combined credit and defense aid, while provisions curb major weapons sales and require two thirds votes to aid nations violating human rights. The bill cuts assistance to Rhodesia opponents and restricts sales to nations with nuclear potential, with a noted filibuster threat to push Southern Africa cutbacks.
