U.S. escalates Latin arms race warned by Defense
Defense Secretary Melvin Laird told the Senate panel that Latin American nations bought 600 million dollars worth of military matériel from France and Britain due to a strict 75 million dollar credit ceiling, risking inflated regional arms buildup and limiting U.S. leverage. He urged raising the ceiling to 150 million and expanding aid this fiscal year to 2.2 billion dollars to shore up defenses while withdrawing troops.
