Foreign Aid in Peril (washingtonpost.com)

Foreign Aid in Peril (washingtonpost.com):

"President Bush greatly expanded programs to help poor countries cope with AIDS, and he promised a 50 percent jump in other foreign assistance. However, that second achievement is in danger of being undermined. In a Senate markup yesterday, only $1.12 billion was allocated to Mr. Bush's new aid initiative, less than half of what he requested."
