Morse Leads Opposition in Senate on Foreign Aid Bill
Senate debate opens over the foreign aid measure with Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon leading a critique that the program has failed to check communism. A final vote on the current year's aid, ending June 30, is anticipated later in the week as Morse seeks unlimited debate to push amendments. He urges major reforms Congress must adopt, arguing administration promises have not produced substantive changes. The bill sets a spending ceiling of 3.467 billion, Morse aiming to trim about 500 million from Johnson's request of 3.516 billion.
