General Clay proposes further cuts to US foreign aid
Lucius D. Clay told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that a further 160 million can be cut from the administration's aid request, lowering the total from 4.5 to 4.3 billion while calling 4 billion a rock bottom figure for US security. 300 million should be kept as good faith. The president's committee to strengthen security of the free world advocates drastic cuts but supports aid in principle. Clay, chairing the committee, lauds the administration's use of an outside advisory body.
