Eisenhower to Ask Congress for 10 Year Foreign Aid Program
The Eisenhower administration reportedly plans to ask Congress for power to commit the United States to a 10 year program of economic aid to friendly nations. The sum for any country would vary, with a maximum ranging from half a billion to a billion dollars, paid in annual installments. The move is expected to provoke new opposition from critics wary of the 1955 foreign aid request. Senate Foreign Relations Chair George said a serious reassessment of foreign aid may occur as Congress trims aid, while officials say the administration wants a long term pledge to aid planning and support long range projects when needed.
