Battle Over Aid To Yugoslavia Shapes Up In House

The Foreign Affairs Committee had cut Eisenhower’s aid request, but leaders defended restoring funds amid party divides.

It excludes nuclear weapons costs, with roughly 28 billion spent on Defense Department rearmament and around 13-14 billion on nuclear weapons via the Atomic Energy Commission.
