Senate makes $10bn of Iraq ... (Oct 17 2003 11:29 GMT) - Senate makes $10bn of Iraq rebuilding money into loan Despite frantic lobbying from the White House, the US Senate secured a majority for the proposal to convert half the $20bn rebuilding money for Iraq into a loan, adding to the country's already astronomical foreign debt. A similar proposal was turned down in the house, meaning a new round of negotiations for the final bill. The Senate proposal did contain a provision to convert the loan into a grant if the US succeeded to substantially reduce Iraq's debt with other countries. Under the bipartisan loan amendment, the money would be transformed into a grant if other countries agreed to forgive at least 90 percent of the debt they were owed by Iraq. That debt is usually estimated at between $90 billion and $127 billion. |
