Senate Approves 1.9 Billion Foreign Aid Bill
The Senate passed a 1.9 billion dollar foreign aid measure on a 52-31 vote, below the 2.6 billion requested by the Nixon administration but higher than last year. The bill includes arms shipments to Greece and supports returning to constitutional government there. An amendment to boost South Vietnam aid was defeated 51-33. Byrd opposed the bill, citing long-term costs. Spong supported it. The House had approved 1.6 billion, with conferees to reconcile differences.
