Trimming millions of dollars in across-the-board cuts from president Nixon's foreign aid requests, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee agreed yesterday to suspend all assistance to Pakistan. The committee also remarked a special $85 million aid fund for Israel but postponed Final work on the $35 billion authorization measure until the House votes next week on an end to war amendment. Individual members gave the data to newsmen. But Senator J. W. Fulbright (D. Ark.), the chairman, and committee aides refused to confirm Figures until a final markup session, sometime next week. As related by senators, the committee voted 20 per cent across -the board cuts in the Military Assistance Program, in development loans and in supporting assistance. Senator Jacob Javits (R.N.Y.) reported the committee added an $85 million supporting assistance loan for Israel after it had made its general cut. He and Senator Frank Church (D.. Idaho) said the committee also voted a 15 per cent reduction in funds for the Alliance for progress in Latin America. Church said the provision on Pakistan would close down aid of every kindmilitary, economic, grants, loans and sales-until such time as the president certifies to Congress that Pakistan is co-operating in bringing peace to the Indian subcontinent and is allowing refugees now in India to return peacefully to their homes in East Pakistan. Mr. Church said the cutoff would apply to aid now in the pipeline to Pakistan as well as that scheduled for the future. The Pakistan aid involves $118 million for economic development assistance programs and $5 million in arms. The voting came a day after the committee voted to put a ceiling on aid to Cambodia, an action that the State Department said could seriously threaten the ability of that South-East Asian nation to defend itself. Series of tie votes Yesterday's action, cutting the U. S. military aid to other nation from $705 million to $565 million, was taken after efforts to reduce the program even further failed on a series of 6-to-6 tie votes.
