The House Appropriations Committee wants to squeeze the Peace Corps budget from $115.7 million to $105 million-a shortsighted trimming that would reduce the number of new recruits from 10,300 to 7,300. As for foreign economic aid, Congress appropriated $2.16 billion this year, down from $2.42 billion last year.

He has consistently supported civil rights measures, the poverty program, and aid to education. He was one of the first public figures to stand up to the Red-baiting tirades of Senator Joseph McCarthy. He started and led the campaign to bring the CIA under closer Congressional scrutiny. And as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he has sought a basic reassessment of the country's foreign...
