Senate passes foreign aid bill
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate passed a $6.8 billion compromise foreign aid bill yesterday, but only after some Republicans criticized President Carter for yielding his total opposition to a ban on indirect aid to seven communist or Marxist countries.
The 53-to-33 vote sent the measure to the White House.
The bill bans direct U.S. aid to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Cuba, Uganda, Mozambique or Angola, but it would permit indirect aid through international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, financed in part by U.S. contributions.
HOUSE INSISTENCE that a ban on an indirect aid be retained held up the House-Senate conference agreement for two months.
The impasse was broken when President
Carter sent a letter to Rep. Clarence D, Long, D-Md., pledging to instruct U.S. directors on the international bank boards to vote against loans to the seven countries.
He promised the same instructions to吹 against loans to finance exports of palm oil, sugar and citrus to the United States in 2015. A ban on used U.S. money for such loans.
OFFICIALS OF THE INTERNATIONAL banks said they could not accept U.S. contributions to their financing if conditions were attached.
In Senate debate, several Republican senators criticized Carter for yielding. Previously, Carter insisted on flexibility in his foreign aid in reigning upon U.S. foreign policy.
Sen. Edward R. Brooke, R-Mass., said Carter's letter to Long "is one more indication of his willingness to undercut those members of Congress will fight for his fight.
SEN. JACOB B. KJAVITS, R-N.Y., said the commitment of U.S. opposition to the international financial institutions to loans to the specific countries would make it more difficult for the United States to persuade them to keep their records on observance of human rights.
The senators suggested also that commitments to vote against loans for specific imports would encourage U.S. producers of tortillas to make similar预定 from import competition.
Legislator prefiles Laetrile bill
TOPEKA (AP)—A bill that would legalize the manufacture and dispensing of LaTehran in Kansas was prefiled yesterday with the State Office's office by a Kansas City, Kan. legislator.
The legislator, Rep. John F. Sutter, D-Kansas city, said he and two cosponsors drafted the bill because they thought victims of cancer ought to be permitted to hope something will cure them, even if Laetrile will not work on all kinds of cancer.
He also said he thought the federal government had no business outlawing Laetrile, a derivative of apricot and peach pits, which the government and the medical profession generally have rejected as being worthless.
Sutter said his research of Laetrile had turned up what he considered to be instances of certain types of cancer being cured by it.
"Naturally, there are a lot of cases we can't help; we know that," he said.
Listed on the bill as co-sponsors were
the board of wachita wcbsh, and John
M. Moden, D.K.M. Bennett.
The bill would remove all restrictions on administering Laetrile to patients in the state and would prohibit the state Board of Healing Arts from disciplining any patient who uses Laetrile for dispensing Laetrile. Pharmacists would be able exert from any discipline.
Persons who want Laetrile treatment would be required under the bill to sign a form that released from any liability the medical facility in which it was administered.
The bill also would legalize the manufacture of Leatrie in Kansas under the supervision of the state secretary of health and environment, who would draft rules and requirements for production and require it to be charged it to pay for administration of the program.
The bill also requires physicians who administered Laetrile to keep records and it removes Laetrile from the state's definition of a drug.
"I think it's got a very good chance of passing the House," Sutter said. "I understand they have collected thousands of votes, and thus defining this type of legislation in Wichita.
"One thing I believe in is giving a man hope to live, and it will give patients hope. I don't think government has the right to deny a person medicine."
