...thirds of the annual U.S. $60 million economic-aid package now goes to the impoverished area. U.S. Special Forces train Thai soldiers in counterinsurgency, and a few Americans work directly with troops in the field. While they leave problems at the village level to the Thais, U.S. advisers also help in road building, health and development projects...
...Washington has budgeted $14 million for the vast territory, a sum that disgruntled local U.S. officials like to point out is only a fifth of that targeted for a single Navajo reservation in the U.S. The Micronesians' copra and fishing trade hardly enables them to do much to help themselves: the entire trust territory has a gross national product of about $12 million...

Like him, they are unhappy with the massive dislocations caused by such federal superprograms as highway construction and urban renewal. When Bobby Kennedy recently urged private industry to help rebuild the ghettos, Buckley congratulated him for a "statement so sensible that it made recommendations I made three years ago." Buckley, in fact, is a bit chagrined that it is liberal Democrats and not conservative Republicans who have been making some dramatic proposals along conservative lines. "The other side...
