Eisenhower Plans Sharp Cut in Overseas Spending
The United States aims to curb foreign outlays by overhauling international spending through a seven point program. It targets reducing overseas dependents from 484000 to 20000 and stopping foreign goods purchases by military exchanges. The policy seeks to boost exports and narrow the payments deficit while defense officials warn of morale impact. The plan follows a gold reserve drain and signals a faster easing of the balance of payments.
