Report from
Washington
By Congressman Dave Mario
Fourth District, Nebraska
As this column is being written
there are indications that a show
down battle in the Congress is
shaping up over the Administra
tion’s foreign aid program. The
President’s request for some $8.8
billion for development loans is
one of the most controversial
items in his proposal, for he has
requested authorization for a
five-year period with funds to l»e
made available to the Adminis
tration by txtrrowing directly
from the U. S. Treasury (’’back
door” financing), rather than
through annual Congressional ap
propriations.
In the past I have often ex
pressed opposition to the increas
ed use of “back door” financing
methods by the Executive Branch
which bypass the regular Con
gressional appropriations pro
cedures. This "gimmick”—to my
way of thinking—to avoid Con
gressional scrutiny is particular
ly dangerous in connection with
foreign aid programs.
In order to give you a better
picture of the developing battle
over foreign aid, it may be help
ful to outline briefly the legisla
tive process involved. As a rule,
separate and distinct bills must
be enacted into law before Fed
eral funds can actually be ex
pended for any program either
foreign or domestic. First, a
measure to authorize the pro
gram must be reported by the
appropriate legislative commit
tees and then passed by the Con
gress.
Following Congressional ap
proval of the program, a bill
providing for the authorization
of funds to carry out the program
must bo enacted. Legislation
dealing with the expenditure of
Federal funds must originate in
the House and is cleared through
the Appropriations Committee
Under our fiscal system, with
annual tax collections and annual
budgets, appropriations are made
by Congress on an annual basis,
although the authorization for a
program can, and often does,
cover a period of two or more
years. Nevertheless, Ihe Depart
ment administering the program
must appear each year before
the Appropriations Committees
and justify its request for funds
to continue the program for the
ensuing year.
The House Foreign Operations
Subcommittee recently conducted
an investigation of the foreign
aid program in Peru. We are ad
vised that the subcommittee ex
perienced great difficulty in ob
taining necessary documents and
information. However, according
to a Member of Congress assign
ed to that subcommittee, they
were finally able to obtain suf
ficient facts which led to the fol
lowing conclusions on two major
aspects of the Peru program:
“1. Out of 106,000 tons of grain
(cost to U. S. taxpayers, $14 mil
lion! sent to Peru for drought
relief, there was only evidence
to show that 5.7% of the grain
was actually distributed free to
hungry drought victims. A large
portion of the remainder was sold
by the local government into reg
ular commercial channels, and at
least a part of the proceeds were
I
to purchase real estate and
fjo (xwistruct houses which were
then sold to some of the local
leading citizens at prices below
cost.”
"2. A $2 million loan made to
Peru in 1959 was intended to aid
its economy through the con
struction of a farm to market
road. After the route was laid
out. belated soil tests showed that
the area to be served by the
original route was unsuitable for
farming. The original cost esti
mate was far out of line. At last
report, the funds have run out
and the construction has stopped.
The road ends "nowhere” on the
side of a mountain, and it is esti
mated that an additional $2.5 mil
lion would be necessary to com
plete the road.”
There is undoubtedly a great
deal of waste and mismanage
ment in connection with the op
eration of our foreign aid pro
gram. I still maintain that you
can't buy friendship with Amer
ican dollars. I feel that no new
commitments should be made
under this program and that au
thorizations. through Congres
sional channels, should be made
only to continue previous com
mitments which have not as yet
been concluded, plus some as
sistance to the countries of the
Western Hemisphere.
Continuation of a controversial ,
foreign aid program will bank
rupt the United States and is far
too great a burden to be placed I
on the shoulders of the American
taxpayers.
I have recently reread a quo
tation which I would like to share
with you, for, to me, history and
experience have amply demon
strated the truth of this maxim:
“The farther away from the
people that government gets with
THEIR money, the GREATER is
the need for strict accounta
bility.”

SATURDAY, AUGUST 12
8 Lbs. of Dry Cleaning for $1 — V2 Price
(August 12th Only)
at TILDEN, NEBR.
Those marvelous automatic drycleaners have arrived — self
service machines you operate like an automatic washer. While
you wait, your load is clean, dry and comes out ready to wear.
Self-service drycleaning is so fast and inexpensive that every
one in your family can wear good woolens and fine non-washable
fabrics again—and keep them beautifully new and clean.
Pleats and creases stay put. Most garments can be worn im
mediately. Very few take a little touch-up with a steam iron.
There is no “cleaning odor.”
The cost is about one-fourth of usual drycleaning costs. Never
before was it so economical, so fast, and so much fun to do all
your cleaning and laundry!
Nine dresses or 4 men’s suits make a typical load or 10 sweaters
or a big bedspread—or 8 lbs. of dry weight.
