Ford aid to Cambodia and Vietnam suffers two House Senate blows
Washington Ford faced a double setback as the House Foreign Affairs Committee rejected a $136 million Cambodian aid compromise and the Senate Democratic Caucus opposed further aid to Cambodia or South Vietnam. The White House called the defeats deeply disappointing and analysts say they destroy prospects for a $522 million supplemental package. The committee vote was 18 to 15 against the Cambodia aid compromise, overturning a prior 43 to 0 subcommittee approval for $135.6 million in military and food aid over three months.
