Title:
Vietnam: A Television History; JFK Attacks Republicans for Slashing Foreign Aid
Description:
President Kennedy lashed out at Republicans for cutting $585 million from the foreign aid bill. He termed the action "unprecedented, unwarranted, and unwise, and one that will critically affect our strength at a time when the forces of freedom are moving around the world. It is a shocking and thoughtless attack by the Republican leadership on a program which both parties have consistently supported as being vital to our national security."
