Johnson seeks five year foreign aid authority and split bills
President Johnson urged Congress for a five year authority for foreign aid and proposed separate economic and arms aid bills. He asked for 3.39 billion dollars in funds for next year plus a one billion dollar abroad program focused on food education and health. He framed the aid as a fight against poverty to advance democracy and the Great Society. The request notes 2.469 billion in economic aid and 7 trillion in military aid, with much of Viet Nam arms support folded into the defense budget, signaling anticipated partisan debate.
