Senate into Special Session For Eisenhower Aid
The Senate was convened in a rare Saturday session to vote on President Eisenhower’s Middle East aid resolution. An amendment to deny up to 200 million dollars in military economic aid to area nations was at stake, with supporters predicting a rejection by at least 15 votes, paving the way for passage next week. The measure, debated for two weeks, would also authorize force to deter Communist aggression if a nation requests aid and the President deems it necessary. Democratic and Republican lawmakers weighed the risks of a larger aid program beyond the initial 200 million.
