Congress Debates Limits on Direct Foreign Aid
Congress weighs halting further direct foreign relief while keeping options for rehabilitation and other funds. A Senate House committee agreement on a $350 million relief bill heads to both chambers next week with no action on a UN medicine fund. The plan caps U S participation at $40 million and allocates $310 million for Europe and Asia with $15 million for emergencies, while preserving oversight of deliveries. Rep Taber criticizes cultural relations program funding though may back a restricted $5–6 million. Secretary Marshall says a truth program is needed to counter Soviet propaganda. Lawmakers work through recess until Monday.
