House Delays Action On Foreign Aid Bill
Washington AP reports the House delays vote on a foreign aid bill. Leaders consider timing to resolve issues while seeking no new U.S. aid to India and Pakistan until hostilities end and a $100 million cut is made to the United Nations budget, reflecting the UN surplus. The package totals $2.84 billion, below Nixon’s request by $967 million, with components for foreign aid, Cuban refugee relief, and the Peace Corps.
