Johnson’s aid bill clears key committee with modest cut
The House Appropriations Committee approved Johnson’s foreign aid package totaling 3.5 billion with a token cut of about 200 million. Rep. Mahon defended the smaller reduction while Passman pledged a fight on floor. Military funding remained largely intact at 1.055 billion, and development loan funds faced new limits amid broader disputes over aid to underdeveloped nations.
