Ike Seeks Restored Funds Face House Resistance
President Eisenhower’s push to restore foreign aid funds faced strong Democratic opposition as the House Appropriations Committee cut 872 million from his request. The $3.08 billion bill would be 357 million below the current overseas aid level, with reductions in the Development Loan Fund and direct military aid, while Sen. Mansfield urged restoration of the fund. Byrd praised the cut but would like more savings.
