...second speaker, Rober Taber, former CBS correspondent in Cuba and now executive secretary of the newly formed National Fair Play for Cuba Committee, declared that opposition to state department Cuban policy "constantly on the rise...
...billion foreign-aid bill, $590.5 million below Administration requests, but a surprising $200 million above the $3.38 billion package backed by House Speaker Sam Rayburn-thanks to a rare combination of conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats engineered by Minority Leader Charlie Halleck. New York's Old Guard John Taber, longtime aid trimmer, led the disciplined Republican ranks in bidding for $200 million more for military assistance (total: $1.8 billion), which the Democrats supported. In return, Halleck & Co. voted to restore U.S. aid ($515 million over ten years) to the Indus River project for India and Pakistan, a favorite liberal...
...nominal head of the committee was Author Waldo (America Hispana) Frank, but the real organizer was Robert Taber, a Columbia Broadcasting System newsman, and one of a group of U.S. journalists who won gold medals from Castro for getting through to interview him in his Sierra Maestra days.

New York Republican Taber, an old hand at cent-counting, argued that armed foreign troops can defend their homelands far cheaper and better than expensively armed ($3,500 to $4,000 each) U.S. troops. But such sound answers were swept under piles of Passman detail, 19 columns of it quoted from his own hearings. Despite the President's press-conference claim that, by his "understanding," House Democratic leaders would not make the foreign aid vote a partisan affair, they let Otto Passman beat down Republican efforts to restore the cuts, send the mangled bill to the Senate...
