House approves large State Department funding bill
The House passed a $1.045 billion appropriation for the State Justice and Commerce Departments and federal courts for the new fiscal year. Republicans failed to attach a pay-cut to Acheson and to curb the Voice of America budget though a strong push. Acheson’s salary survived 171 to 81. A Jensen rider would cap federal hiring 20 percent this year, with limited exceptions, while another amendment would limit US contributions to international organizations to one third of costs.

The proposed 8.5 billion dollar foreign military and economic aid is the first of a three year program totaling about 25 billion. Acheson and Marshall stressed the goal of deterring war and offsetting Soviet designs, with future year demands likely to be as large.
