Foreign Aid Slashes Seen in House Action
Washington lawmakers foresee heavy fighting over Eisenhower’s $3.4 billion foreign aid plan despite near intact approval by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The panel cut only 7 million from administration requests, setting a ceiling of 3,470,608,009 for global assistance starting July 1. Congress may see further cuts on the floor as Republicans split over the bill. President Eisenhower called the program essential and warned against any reductions in a world tense situation. The House Foreign Policy Committee also kept major items intact including 1 778 300 000 for global military aid and 945 million for Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific.
