Budget Slashes Allow Foreign Aid Funds To Move
Washington May 26 House budget cutters promise to let a foreign aid money bill go to the Senate without major change. The agreement allows the Economic Cooperation Administration to spend a portion of funds this year and next, though not restoring the $629.7 million cut by the appropriations committee. Republican leaders say they favor the amendment and do not oppose it, with Undersecretary Webb warning the move could impair the Recovery Program. The plan funds ECA at about $642.47 million to May 1950, averaging roughly $344 million per month, not restoring the full President’s request or the full $1 billion requested for occupation and Greece Turkey aid. The omnibus bill totals $5.54 billion for ECA, occupation projects, and Greece Turkey aid, with passage expected despite attempts to trim funds.
