Senators Back Western Europe Fight Will and Aid Plan
A Senate delegation said Western Europe has revived the will to resist possible Soviet attack though defenses remain weak. They backed an $8.5 billion aid program and urged rapid arming, pledging support for hearings led by Senator Connally with Acheson and Marshall as witnesses. The group favored a unified Western European army and bases in Spain, with six U.S. divisions to be stationed in Western Germany and no new troops requested for Europe.
