Study Group Urges Cuts in Foreign Aid Spending
President Kennedy faces a tough path as the advisory committee urges reducing the 4.9 billion dollar foreign aid budget for the coming year. The 25 page report calls for higher quality aid, less overall grant funding, and greater reliance on private enterprise abroad. It also suggests focusing on nations willing to be free, urging other advanced countries to bear more of the burden, and tightening repayment terms on loans while trimming the 380 million dollar annual technical assistance program.
