Two Unbudgeted Aid Items Could Block Foreign Help
Two unbudgeted items 54.5 million for Formosa aircraft and 50 million for South Korea loom over final congressional action on foreign aid. Conferees differed on military vs economic aid, with Senate turning down planes for Formosa and both chambers debating the Korea aid. If any item is dropped, funds cannot be spent and the year may end without action.
