Washington D. C. As Viewed
By Yoor Senator,
A. Willis Robertson
APPROPRIATIONS ARE CUT BELOW RECOMMENDATIONS
The Senate resorted to night sessions last week to speed action on major appropriation bills and we now are reaching the point where we can see what progress has been made toward cutting Federal spending and approaching a balanced budget.
We still have to take up the bills for the Department of Defense and ' the Mutual Security program, which have not yet been acted on by the House. I anticipate that Foreign Aid will be cut below the President’s request and the difference may be added to the Air Force budget. Practically all the domestic spending bills have now been passed or are nearing final action. On these bills the Senate has approved an average of approximately ten per cent less than was recommended by President Truman and about 4.5 per cent less than was proposed in President Eisenhower’s revised budget.
