House Aims Deep Cuts in Foreign Aid and Agencies
The House backed a bill to abolish the Agency for International Development, the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and the U S Information Agency, folding them into a larger State Department. It would trim foreign spending by 3 billion over three years, set aid at 11.3 billion for the new fiscal year and 10.8 billion the next, totaling 31.8 billion over two years for aid and diplomacy. Israel and Egypt programs largely excluded from cuts.
