Senate OKs 4.7 Billion Foreign Aid Authorization
The Senate approved a 4.7 billion foreign aid bill by a 56 to 27 vote amid last minute gripes over aid to Communist countries. Administration plans to hold India aid to last year’s level were said to remain, despite a stricken provision. The measure would allow Kennedy to extend aid to Red Yugoslavia and Poland if national security warranted. Dodd and Stennis voiced concern over aid to communist nations as deficits loom.
