Debate Over Export-Import Financing for Soviet Tool Sale
Senate dispute centers on whether to permit Export-Import Bank financing for selling U S machine tools to a Soviet auto plant. Dirksen seeks to block the deal in a broader bill extending bank lending authority, with Johnson administration backing and opposition from Ellender who urged a ban on arms financing to poorer nations. The proposal would require presidential approval for financing sales to poorer nations and a similar provision would allow financing only with presidential consent for shipments to Communist nations.
