House Cuts 790 Million From Eisenhower Foreign Aid Plan
The House Appropriations Committee cut 790.4 million dollars from Eisenhower's foreign aid requests, including 400 million from military assistance. If sustained, the year beginning July 1 would see 4.0863 billion appropriated of the 4.175 billion requested, with about 400 million more from unobligated prior funds. The action, led by Rep. Otto Passman, limits military aid to 1.6 billion of the two billion requested, despite a presidential plea to preserve defense funds.
