At breakfast with President Eisenhower in the White House, he spoke gratefully of some $80 million worth of dollar aid given his assassinated predecessor, U.S.-favored Carlos Castillo Armas.

But such items as tanks and planes require about two years between the time they are ordered and the time they are delivered. The $3.7 billion, therefore, even though technically unspent, represents a U.S. obligation and cannot be casually tossed off as some sort of surplus...
