State Dept Reverses Aid Plan for African Students
The State Department reversed August 1959 refusals and agreed to fund 250 African scholarship students after intervention by James Shepley, Nixon campaign aide. Senator Fulbright faulted outside pressure and noted Kennedy supporters offered $100,000 for transport and the Institute of International Education coordination. The reversal followed renewed review and sponsorship assurances.

Kennedy Foundation Agrees to Fund Student Transport
Fulbright said the Kennedy Foundation would finance transporting students and help cover living costs during their stay, a plan he described as a crash basis. Kennedy confirmed reluctant support due to other commitments and noted he asked for privacy, though word reached a State Department official.
