...want to give them every cent they need," cried Louisiana's Representative Otto Passman, leader of the cut-foreign-aid forces. The Eisenhower Administration, said Passman & Co., already has about $9.5 billion in unspent foreign-aid funds appropriated in previous years-plenty to keep the program going. Democrats could therefore place themselves on the record at one and the same time for economy and for effective foreign aid. The argument worked: the House cut the mutual-assistance appropriation to $3,191,810,000, about $810 million below the Administration's request and $175 million less than the House...
...pipeline. Example: the U.S. has about $3.7 billion in unexpended but obligated funds for arms for its allies.

It also proposes to slice $5.2 billion off the new 1954 appropriations proposed by the Truman Administration. The bulk of both cuts will come primarily out of funds for future aircraft procurement. Because it takes anywhere from one to eight years before a plane on order becomes a plane in the air, the effects of the first Eisenhower defense budget on the Air Force would...
