OBAMA PLANS $450 MILLION CASH FOR EGYPT
The Obama administration notified Congress on Friday that it intends to give Egypt’s new government an emergency cash infusion of $450 million, but the move immediately encountered resistance from lawmakers wary of foreign aid in general and of Egypt’s new course under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The aid is part of $1 billion in assistance that the Obama administration has pledged to Egypt to bolster its economy and its transition to democracy following the overthrow last year of Hosni Mubarak, the country’s autocratic president.

Its fate, however, was clouded because of concerns over some of the new government’s policies and its handling of anti-American protests two weeks ago that overwhelmed the American Embassy in Cairo.

The United States Agency for International Development notified Congress of the cash infusion on Friday morning, prompting renewed protests over the foreign aid and the administration’s handling of crises spreading across the Islamic world.

Re: OBAMA PLANS $450 MILLION CASH FOR EGYPT
Representative Kay Granger, a Texas Republican, said today she will block a White House move to give Egypt $450 million

“This proposal comes to Congress at a point when the U.S.- Egypt relationship has never been under more scrutiny, and rightly so,” Granger, chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations, said in a statement. “I am not convinced of the urgent need for this assistance and I cannot support it at this time.”

“I have placed a hold on these funds,” she said. Granger doesn’t have legal authority to prevent the administration from releasing the money, making her action an informal effort to stop the funding, according to a congressional aide who wasn’t authorized to comment publicly.

This is the liberal way... if you have a problem throw money at it, until it goes away.


Or in this case, until it attacks you, and then you double up and give them more.

1.Infiltrate the infidel.
2. Place your agent as president.
3. Divert all the infidels wealth to your own country.
4. Slowly but surely choke the infidel out his own country.

Re: OBAMA PLANS $450 MILLION CASH FOR EGYPT
US plan for Egypt aid hits roadblock
The chairwoman of the US House committee blocks US government's move to transfer $450m in assistance to Egypt.

Representative Kay Granger, a Republican, said on Friday that the State Department had notified Congress of plans to transfer the money to the new government of President Mohamed Morsi, a move that Granger said she would stop.

"This proposal comes to Congress at a point when the US-Egypt relationship has never been under more scrutiny, and rightly so," the chairwoman of the Appropriations subcommittee on foreign operations said in a statement.

"I am not convinced of the urgent need for this assistance and I cannot support it at this time ... I have placed a hold on these funds."

Granger's action reflects unease among some US politicians over the new government that has taken the reins in
Egypt
after a pro-democracy uprising overthrew longtime US ally Hosni Mubarak last year.

The relationship between the US and Egypt has been rocky since the revolution. Egypt's government also angered Washington when it cracked down on numerous democracy advocates and groups, including three US-funded non-governmental organisations, earlier this year.

More recently, demonstrators breached the US embassy in Cairo to protest an anti-Islam video, and some in Congress have called for cutting off aid.

US support

The Obama administration..

Re: OBAMA PLANS $450 MILLION CASH FOR EGYPT
The United States Agency for International Development notified Congress of the cash infusion on Friday morning during the pre-election recess, promptly igniting a smoldering debate over foreign aid and the administration’s handling of crises in the Islamic world.

An influential Republican lawmaker, Representative Kay Granger of Texas, immediately announced that she would use her position as chairwoman of the House appropriations subcommittee overseeing foreign aid to block the distribution of the money. She said the American relationship with Egypt “has never been under more scrutiny” than it is in the wake of the election of President Mohamed Morsi, a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood...

...The protests over an anti-Muslim video and the storming of the American Embassy in Cairo on Sept. 11 came even as senior White House and State Department officials led a large business delegation to promote economic assistance and trade in Egypt.

Mr. Morsi’s slow response to the protests raised concerns in Washington, although administration officials later cited improved cooperation over the embassy’s security.

The $1 billion in assistance has been cobbled together from funds already appropriated by Congress, but the administration is required to notify lawmakers of its intention to release any of the funds. Ms. Granger presumably can put a hold on that release and pursue legislation to reverse the appropriation.... [link to www.nytimes.com]
