Authority to Buy UN Bonds Given Kennedy
The Senate approved a measure granting President Kennedy authority to provide up to 100 million in aid to the United Nations. The bill allows either direct loans or purchase of UN bonds at 2 percent interest repayable over 25 years, with a condition that loans above 25 million be matched by bond purchases by other UN members. Support crossed party lines, led by Dirksen and Mansfield, amid broad backing from both chambers for aiding UN peacekeeping costs in Congo and the Middle East.
