Kennedy calls for sweeping overhaul of foreign aid agency
President Kennedy asks Congress to create a single new agency to oversee long-term aid, consolidating ICC DLF and Peace Corps into one body reporting to the secretary of state. He proposes a five year $7.3 billion loan authority plus ongoing financing for technical and other aid, with a shift of arms aid to the military budget. The plan aims to replace year by year funding with long-range, dollar-denominated loans and country tailored programs to spur development and reduce reliance on aid. He warns that failure abroad risks security and prosperity.
