Senate Rejects Move to Cut War Funds in Indochina
The Senate passed a revised State Department authorization bill 76 to 1, restoring about 1 billion in funding and spurning a bid to halt U.S. spending in Indochina after August. An antiwar amendment by Case and Church failed, with ongoing pushes for withdrawal tied to a ceasefire. The measure also restored overseas propaganda funding, banned Rhodesian chrome, and kept nondiplomatic personnel abroad.
