Senate Panel Urges Major Overhaul of Foreign Aid
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee urged the administration to revamp foreign aid next year or face congressional changes. It backed a 4,202,365,000 authorization bill and rejected a plan to end aid by June 30, 1965. The panel pressed for selectivity, multilateral agency use, and shifting funds away from unable countries toward those needing less aid. It praised some gains but doubted the case for maintaining broad aid in many developing nations.
