Senate approves 70 million aid for Vietnam civilians
The Senate approved an amendment to designate 70 million in foreign aid for humanitarian relief in South Vietnam. Senator Edward M. Kennedy said over a million people had fled and up to 80 thousand civilians were killed since April 1. The plan would not add to tax authorizations, just specify use of funds for relief. The floor manager noted aid would align with expected spending. A Kennedy amendment urged Nixon to begin postwar relief and rehabilitation planning for Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia with international cooperation.
