President Eisenhower launches a personal persuasion campaign to win Congress funding for his foreign aid program. At the White House breakfast, Senator Bridges predicts Congress may cut funds, while House and Senate approve a 5.157 billion authorization bill, sending it to the President. The action falls short of the president’s 5.474 billion request, seen as a partial administration victory amid looming money bills. The measure includes a provision to withhold about 1 billion from Western Europe unless certain defense treaties are ratified.
