WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Congress has resumed examining the prospect of severing
military and other assistance to Egypt.
Members of Congress have called for a resolution that would suspend
military and other aid to Egypt and Libya in wake of attacks on U.S.
diplomatic facilities. House Republicans sought to use a vote on the
so-called continuing resolution to extend federal funding through March 2013
to block aid to Cairo and Tripoli.
