Understandably. there were aspects of the foreign aid bill unsatisfactory to each of us in the Senate. But must we destroy what we deem to be desirable in order to destroy what we deem to be undesirable? Can any among us say that the bill was all wrong. that all military and economic aid should be eliminated. that we should turn our backs on Israel. or that we should show indifference to the plight of 9 million Pakistani refugees? Can we say that the Nixon doctrine. which seeks to minimize U.S. military action abroad by providing aid to nations willing to defend themselves. should be abandoned? Can we say "no" to further help for needy children. world health. and economic development?
