Setback on Aid Handed To Johnson
Washington report notes President Johnson faces a major setback as the House approves an $800 million cut in foreign aid and adds an amendment barring government guarantees for private financing of wheat sales to the Communist bloc. The vote halves Kennedy era requests and complicates a planned wheat sale of about 40 million tons amid objections to shipping rates.
