But Texas' Senator Tom Connally last week decided the time had come to get tough. With his Foreign Relations Committee holding a whip hand over ECA's new $2.9 billion appropriation, Connally announced that he would seek to block all further aid to Britain unless it abandons its "discrimination" against...
