Pessimism Grows Over Bigger Israel Military Aid in U S Bill
Washington AP reports Israel’s strongest congressional supporters doubt they can push add ons to the foreign aid bill as President Ford threatens a veto. The plan would raise Israel military aid by 550 million beyond Ford’s acceptance level, with 275 million possible compromise. Ford says he will veto if extra funds are included, risking the entire 5.6 billion aid package and leaving Israel at 630 million. Passman signals no new bill if the broader package dies.
