Humphrey predicts Senate Dems back at least 2 billion in foreign aid
Senator Humphrey says a majority of Senate Democrats will support at least 2 billion dollars in foreign military aid when needed. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee favored a 4.502 billion dollar foreign aid bill, a figure higher than the House approved but lower than committee wishes. A subcommittee will hold closed hearings to explore financing options as unspent aid funds are expected to total about 342 million by June 30.
