The House this week-end gave final approval to the Administration’s foreign aid program, which includes $73,500,000 in grante for Israel. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will take up the bill this week.
Before the final vote was taken the House decisively rejected a move to delete from the bill a $50,000,000 grant to Israel to aid immigrants. The motion to cut off this aid was offered by Rep. Harold Cooley, Democrat of North Carolina, who said that past aid to Israel “has not been in the interests of peace.” Rep. Colley’s amendment was defeated 146-65.
