What I do say is that these diplomatic setbacks ought to open our eyes to the general failure of our foreign aid programs to attain objectives in recent years beneficial to our own best interests. The American people have traditionally been generous to other peoples in times of distress and disaster. It is one thing to help suffering people such as the Pakistani refugeesand we should do that. But it is something else again to provide American resources to help nations which are not suffering such distress and which may. in fact. be well off economically and pursuing ends inimical to our own. The first duty of the Congress is to the American people.
