We are asked to increase regional ceilings on arms sales. to increaseunder the heading of "excess defense articles"-the amount of aid that does not count as aid. to increase the ease of credit terms allowed to arms buyers. to merely delay aid to the racist colonial regime in Portugal until deference is shown to Congress. and in general. to increase our subsidization of wasteful arms spending. These are the less dramatic sections of the bill. and we may lose sight of them in todays and tomorrows debate. Yet they are the meat of the bill. its real reason for existingdespite the title "Foreign Assistance Act." despite commendable sections thrown in concerning refugee assistance and ecological concerns. It is here that the battle for a humane and sensible foreign policy. is being fought. Tomorrow.
