Billions Spent On U S Ship Food Aid Subsidies
Washington officials say taxpayers have spent about 1.2 billion dollars since 1954 to carry overseas food aid on American vessels rather than cheaper foreign ships. By June 30, 1968, another 108 million will be added, totaling over 1.3 billion.

For donations, U S vessels are used to reduce dollar outflow and improve the balance of payments.
