Congress Divided Over Egypt Aid

Congress Divided Over Egypt Aid
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Despite growing support for sanctions, Congress remains
divided over whether to suspend U.S. military aid to Egypt.
Congressional aides said most of the House and Senate leadership seek to
maintain the annual $1.55 billion in U.S. aid, 90 percent allocated to the
military, to Egypt. But many of the members with less seniority were
clamoring for a suspension or reduction in aid to Cairo's new
military-backed regime.
