The Senate adopted today an amendment to the Foreign Aid Bill which could be applied to sever aid to Egypt as long as that country continues “to commit aggression.”
The amendment, offered by Sen. Fred R. Harris, Oklahoma Democrat, was accepted by a vote of 73 to 13. The amendment provided that no further aid could be given “so long as such countries shall continue to commit aggression,” as the President shall deter mine, in accordance with the principles of the anti-aggression amendment put into law in the past by Sen. Ernest Gruening, Alaska Democrat.
