Senate votes near on foreign aid bill amid cuts
The Senate opened debate on a 4.502 billion dollar foreign aid bill with proposals to trim. A key fight targets cutting 690 million from the 2.6 billion recommended for military assistance by the Foreign Relations Committee. House approved two billion for the purpose.

Some proposals would lower total to 2.7 billion last year’s level, though supporters say votes are solid to defeat that. The session edge and possible long hours loom as amendments may be offered.
