Byrd urges halving foreign aid spending now
Sen. Byrd of Virginia called for a 50 percent cut in foreign aid, noting a carryover of about 10 billion in unspent overseas funds and urging appropriations committees to act. Sen. Hayden said no drive for deep cuts exists and no knife is out for the program. The House approved 3.2858 billion for the year with military and economic allocations. Eisenhower reduced his request to 3.2666 billion.
