Senate and House conferees approve a $3.4 billion foreign aid package for 27 months, aiming to ensure most aid goes to the needy. The bill, to be sent to full chambers after Thanksgiving, cuts $450 million from Ford's request and bars aid to countries violating human rights unless benefits reach the poor. It sets 75 percent of Food for Peace credit sales to nations with per capita income $300 or less, with among other provisions bans on aid to discriminating countries. Total funds: $1.567B for 1976, $1.496B for 1977, and $391M for mid-1976 transition. It excludes the $4.7B military aid request.
