18 Percent Cut in State Department Funds Proposed
The House Appropriations Committee recommended an 18 percent reduction in State Department funding for the year, while not directly targeting Secretary Acheson. Republicans plan a floor challenge, with a ban on using funds to pay his salary likely debated. The panel set State Department at 231.432 million of 283.086 million requested, a 53.254 million cut. The vote on broader budget items and other departments followed, with the Judiciary, Commerce, and other agencies facing reductions. The committee stressed the need for a strong State Department amid Kremlin pressures and noted VOA and related activities faced cuts.
