In practice, it has spent a scant $9,000,000 in the past twelve months on family-planning leaflets and small-scale birth-control advice to countries that asked for it. Last week AID Administrator William S. Gaud told Congress that with its hoped-for $20 million budget in the next fiscal year, AID will at last begin to finance the manufacture and distribution of oral contraceptives in countries that have voluntary family-planning programs.
