In urging approval in full of the committee's suggested sum 5,580 million dollars, Senator Connally said: "We do not expect to continue this programme beyond June, 1952." He added that next year's aid must be cut considerably below the 5000 million mark. Senator Connally, in commenting on the proposals that aid to Britain should be cut, said: "We must conclude that any substantial cut in dollar aid to Britain woulcl be a tragic mistake.
