Senate trims foreign military aid bill amid GOP opposition
The Senate approved a pared down 770 million foreign aid package, cutting 410 million from Nixon’s request. It struck out a nine year phase out plan and a 95 percent counterpart funding provision, while rejecting attempts to boost grant aid to 625 million and expand military credit sales. Jordan received 65 million in supporting aid, and Israel and Jordan saw earmarks in an amended package.
