Ask Revision'
In Aid Funds
WASHINGTON (P) - President
John F. Kennedy asked Congress,
yesterday for $4.5 billion in new
foreign aid appropriations, a cut
of $420 million from the amount
he originally proposed in his Jan-
uary budget message.
In submitting the smallest for-'
eign aid program in four years,
Kennedy made a special effort to
turn aside criticism. He fold Con-
gress in a 5000-word message that
his program was designed care-
fully and explicitly to meet chal-
lenges in underdeveloped coun-
tries "in this climactic age of de-
cision."
Congress members commended
the President's effort to trim his
own aid figures but served notice
that they plan to try for still
deeper cuts.
Republican Praise
Republicans commented that the
President was finally coming
around to agreeing with them that
the budget needs to be cut, Rep.
Otto E. Passman (D-La), chair-
man of the House appropriations
subcommittee on foreign aid, said
a "realistic program" would be
around $3 billion.
The administration - sponsored
reduction of $420 million was
termed "very unusual" by the As-
sistant Foreign Aid Administrator
Frank Coffin.
Incorporated in President Ken-
nedy's message was a potentially
significant new plan to give spe-
cial benefits to American taxpay-
ers who invest in the developing
nations.

Kennedy took gre:.t pains to ar-
gue that the new aid program has
been tailored to meet suggestions
and criticisms made only ten days
ago by a presidential study com-
mittee headed by Gen. Lucius D.
Clay. This panel of 10 prominent
citizens appointed by the Presi-
dent and headed by Clay had rec-
ommended that the program be
tightened up, saying it was trying
to do too much for too many.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield of Montana told news-
men that President Kennedy's cut-
back in his $4.9 billion foreign
aid budget figure was "based on
a new look."
House, Speaker John W. McCor-
mack (D-Mass) said the Presi-
dent's recommendation is "within
range of the Clay report" and uti-
lizes the standards of the report.
But top Republican leaders in
Congress took a less laudatory
tack in praising Kennedy's action.
Senate GOP leader Everett M.
Dirksen of Illinois said the admin-
istration appears to be "yielding to
the demands of the people."
