Senate estimates foreign aid
at $60 billion for 6 years
WASHINGTON <A>> —Unable
to get the Nixon administration’s
projections, the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee released
Tuesday its own figures estimat
ing total U.S. foreign aid over
the next six years at more than
$60 billion—including $17 billion
to South Vietnam.
The staff study was ordered
after President Nixon invoked
executive privilege in backing the
Pentagon’s refusal to supply the
committee with its five-year mili
tary-aid projections.
the total “may be one reason they
have been so reluctant” to give
the estimates. He called the com
mittee figures conservative.
Although the committee has
yet to receive any material from
the administration relating to the
House-passed aid bill or aid pro
jections, it began its own delib
erations on the measure by
agreeing informally to include a
provision requiring annual au
thorization legislation for all
State Department operations.

The committee based its total
in projecting the fiscal years
1973-77 on the amount spent in
fiscal 1971, the budget request
for the current fiscal year—and
a 3.5 per cent annual inflation
factor.
This would give the committee
greater control over department
activities than at present, when
its operational spending must
only be approved in the annual
money bills that go through the
Appropriations Committee.
“It’s a right healthy amount,”
Chairman J. W. Fulbright, D.-
Ark., told reporters, adding that
The committee staff estimated
that economic and military aid
over the six-year period, includ
ing the current year and the
projection for the next five years,
would be divided about evenly.
For Vietnam, it estimates more
than $12.5 billion for military aid
and nearly $4.5 billion for eco
nomic assistance. The commit
tee said aid would likely continue
at the current level since “if the
shooting war stops, there is likely
to be a corresponding increase on
the economic aid side for recon
struction purposes.”
Vietnam is by far the largest
single aid recipient. Other large
beneficiaries of U.S. assistance
under the projected programs
include Korea, nearly $3.5 billion,
and Cambodia, nearly $2.5 billion.
The House has approved a two-
year aid authorization bill along
existing lines, setting aside the
administration’s request to re
vamp the program. The bill
totaled approximately $3.4 billion
and included provisions cutting
off aid to Greece and Pakistan.

“. . . eliminate the threat of
further aggravation of Pakistani-
Indian relations.
“At this crucial moment,”
Kosygin added, “we address a
call to President Yahya Khan to
take the most effective steps for
the liquidation of the hotbed of
tension that has emerged.” Gen.
Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan
is Pakistan’s leader.
“The Soviet Union is doing
and will do its utmost for the
maintenance of peace in that
region and for the prevention of
armed conflict,” Kosygin said.
Then, turning to Mrs. Gandhi
he added: “It seems to us that
the exchange of opinion which
has begun with you on this ques
tion, Mrs. Prime Minister, shows
that the Soviet Union and India
will continue pooling their efforts
to attain this aim.”
The Soviet premier referred to
the Soviet-Indian cooperation and
assistance treaty of last Aug. 9
and repeated that the pact was
“spearheaded” at no one.
Kosygin’s remarks were pub
lished by Tass, the official news
agency.
They confirmed that what In
dian diplomats call “our No. 1
problem” was at the top of an
abbreviated agenda when Mrs.
Gandhi belatedly began her talks
Tuesday morning with the Soviet
leadership.
There was no immediate word
on whether Mrs. Gandhi had
