House Ignores Ike Piea Votes 135 Million Foreign Aid Cut
Washington reports the House tentatively voted an 18.5 million dollar cut in defense support funds within the foreign aid program, amid President Eisenhower’s criticism that the reduction jeopardizes national security. The amendment to restore part of the cut failed 120 to 87 in a teller vote, with further roll calls possible and debate continuing on replenishing aid levels. Eisenhower urged Congress to maintain robust aid, warning of consequences to freedom and security.
