WASHINGTON—The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a bill Monday to provide $28.5 million in additional military aid to Cambodia. However, it will put a June 30 cutoff on the aid.
Meanwhile, the State Department said that an additional $2.15 million of ammunition could be sent to Cambodia without congressional action. The actions came as American sources in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, reported that the U.S. embassy there, apparently in anticipation of invasion by Cambodian insurgents, burned documents and told refugee agencies to "pure down to essential personnel."

SOUTH BEND, Ind.-President Ford used the domino theory to defend his Indianapolis policy Monday night. He said the city would be the national security of the United States."
Ford listed Communist advances in Southeast Asia and said there were indications that U.S. allies were doubting American's word. He said the fall of one Asian nation would lead to another, and ultimately endanger the United States.

Lask said the need for remedial English classes demonstrated that students making better grades didn't always deserve them. She said she expected the number of F's to increase gradually, since students who in English would have a place to go for help.
Gowen said freshman-sophorome grades tended to be slightly on the high side, but said the C continued to be a meaningful difference. He argues the average grade point has been 2.56.

For example, he condemned any CIA involvement in plots to assassinate foreign leaders and said this wouldn't happen while he was President. He said he was personally involved with the assassinations to determine whether the executive branch should be investigated.
He said the term remedial hadn't been used in the English department since 1967. That fact represents a nationwide trend. The department advertised as remedial texts, he said.
