It would not provide more than token reductions in the fat payroll of more than 261/2 thousand persons who operate our foreign aid programs. nor would it sizably decrease the more than 4.000 projects and subprojects currently being funded. In my judgment. this bill contains only one item of foreign aid deserving of support. That is the $250 million provided for the relief of East Pakistani refugees. This is the type of aid which best exemplifies the American spirit of humanitarianism. and the kind of bilateral aid relationship which works best for. us and the recipient nation concerned. Not only do such funds rescue the destitute and alleviate human suffering. but at the same time they also benefit American industry and the farmer who supply lifesustaining commodities.
