Bush Waives More Paksitani Sanctions
By SCOTT LINDLAW, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush waived the last sanctions against
Pakistan on Monday, clearing the way for a fresh infusion of financial
aid to the key ally in the U.S.-led military campaign in neighboring
Afghanistan.
Bush signed legislation that allows him to waive the sanctions through
September 2003. The Clinton administration imposed the punishment
after Gen. Pervez Musharraf took over Pakistan's government in a coup.
``What this does is gives the president the flexibility to authorize
additional aid to Pakistan,'' said White House spokesman Sean
McCormack.
Legislative action was needed to remove the last sanction, which
barred all foreign aid to Pakistan. Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., chairman
of the House International Relations Committee, said earlier this
month it would also facilitate transfer of excess U.S. defense
articles to Pakistan.
Bush approved the measure Saturday, but the White House waited until
Monday night to disclose the move.
Despite Pakistan's record on democracy and nuclear testing, the Bush
administration has gone out of its way to curry favor with the country
since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Anti-American and anti-government sentiment has swept across Pakistan
since Oct. 7, when the United States began airstrikes on Afghan cities
and suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden's installations in
Afghanistan. Protests have been vehement and sometimes violent.
Last month Bush dropped sanctions that were imposed on Pakistan and
India after those two countries tested nuclear weapons in 1998. The
sanctions barred economic and military assistance.
The administration plans to announce as early as this week new aid
that could range from $300 million to $500 million, administration
officials have said. Bush has already committed $100 million in
economic aid. The United States and Pakistan also recently rescheduled
$379 million of Pakistan's debt of about $3 billion to this country.
Also Monday, the administration announced Bush will have dinner with
Musharraf in New York next month during a meeting of the United
Nations General Assembly.
