Aid bill passes House with Marshall plan aims
The House approved a $3.102 billion foreign aid measure after a week of fights, sending it to the Senate. It excludes two administration amendments, trims the overall amount by $270 million, and halves the controversial point four program. The plan funds Marshall Plan relief, Korea, China and Southeast Asia aid, Arab refugees, and starts the point four technical assistance effort. The Senate may modify, with Easter recess upcoming before further action.
