- Description:
- In this weekly radio report, Congressman Bob Dole discusses foreign aid and the recent House vote to remove $585 billion from the foreign aid authorization bill, which President Kennedy called partisan and irresponsible. Dole explains how this move was backed by several Democrats – including committee chairmen – and then delves into Kennedy’s record in Congress, illustrating that he once also believed cutting foreign aid was essential.
