THE Sumnmer Daily Vol. LXXXIiI, No. 17-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Friday, June 1, 1973 Ten Cents Sixteen Pages Senate cuts allfunds for S.E. Asia bombing Move will need House agreement WASHINGTON (P) - The Senate yes- terday took a definitive step towards end- ing U. S. involvement in South East Asia a N [ by cutting off all funds for continued bombing in Cambodia and Laos. The amendment to a House appropria- tion bill was decisively approved by a 63- 19 tally. Sen.' Thomas Eagleton (D-Mo.) :5r proposed the- measure. ADMINISTRATION BACKERS in the Senate opposed the amendment, claim- ing it "ties the hands" of President Nix- on in current negotiations to solidify com- pliance with the Jan. 27 Vietnam cease- fire agreement. The Senate tacked the amendment on to a $3.6 billion supplemental appropria- tion bill. But a Senate-House conference committee most sit down and hammer out a compromise between the Senate bill and the weaker H vse version. C Before the vote, the Pentagon said it has already red'iced the B52 bombing raids by one-third. One reason, a spokes- * man said, has been the failure by Con- gress to act on a re-uest to transfer mon- ey from one military account to another. A $315 million transfer is tied up in the money bill. THE AMENDMENT voted by the Senate was viewed by its supporters and oppon- ents alike 's -n vbsolite shutoff of all present and past apoprpiations, design- ed to force :- ed to b-vlobing raids car- ried on for nerly three months in sup- port of the Cmbodin government of Lon Nol.
