Foreign aid bill faces likely big cuts in House
The foreign aid authorization faces a tight decision in Congress as the House Foreign Affairs Committee debates substantial reductions. President Johnson had requested 2.9 billion for the new fiscal year, but the panel is expected to set a ceiling near 2 billion or lower, with last year’s 2.2 billion appropriated from a 2.67 billion authorization. The outcome depends on delicate votes and financial concerns shaping the bill before it reaches the House floor.
