Byrd Urges 4 Percent Budget Cut to Balance Funds
Senator Byrd of Virginia, incoming Finance chair, called for a 4 percent reduction in federal spending to balance the budget. He cited a $4.7 billion foreign aid outlay in Eisenhower's budget and warned that large past appropriations hinder savings while urging deeper cuts in foreign economic aid to clear a $10 billion backlog. He warned Congress must face fiscal realities as deficits loom but stressed prosperity and no wartime strain.
