Rogers to press UN on faster East Pakistani relief
Secretary of State William P. Rogers plans to travel to the United Nations to push for a more vigorous international relief effort for East Pakistani refugees. He will meet with U Thant and UN relief officials to press for faster action while Nixon notes the U.S. has given $70 million, more than any other country. A House vote aimed at restricting aid would cut $118 million of development assistance and $5 million of arms aid to Pakistan, as lawmakers argue pressure on West Pakistan to improve Eastern province treatment.
