Senate Debates Pentagon Cut and Cuba Refugee Airlift
The Senate weighs an 8.7 billion dollar cut to Defense in a Proxmire Mathias amendment while limiting a stopgap bill and curbing the Havana to Miami refugee airlift. The State Department opposes the refugee halt, citing moral duty, as CIA funding for Radio Free Europe ends openly. No fiscal 1972 bills have passed.
