Armed Services Group Wins Point On Foreign Aid
Washington reports the Senate Foreign Relations Committee agreed to let the Armed Services Committee jointly handle the 8.5 billion dollar foreign aid measure. Chairman Connally opposed and faced strong language in a closed meeting amid tensions over military control of arms distribution and a possible new agency. Senator Byrd floated giving military officials final say and a separate agency to manage the program. Bridges described the session as stormy with Connally saying rocks were thrown and gun at his head.
