Sparkman blasts GOP fiscal plans in 1956 context

Senator Sparkman accuses the Eisenhower administration of pursuing a balanced budget for political reasons while planning substantial post year 1957 spending. He flags a proposed billion dollar military outlay increase, 200 million for foreign aid, and extra funds for health, schools, and roads, suggesting possible deficits in the year ending June 30, 1957. He notes a $4.9 billion foreign aid request with half a billion set aside for future years and argues Republicans must address carryover funds. He remains undecided on specifics and urges targeting aid to technical assistance as inexpensive.
