Bush to ask congress for $100m for Poland
www.chinaview.cn 2005-02-10 12:09:39

    BEIJING, Feb. 9 -- US President George W. Bush says he would ask Congress for 100 million US dollars to help modernize armed forces in Poland, a staunch ally in the war in Iraq.

    During an Oval Office meeting with visiting Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski, Bush said on Wednesday that he was confident that Congress would approve the money.

    The military aid is fifty percent more than the United States gave Poland last year.

    The money will be part of the war funding request the White House is expected to submit to Congress next week.
