Kerry Explains Addition To Aid Bill
Senate Foreign Relations Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) responded Tuesday to the chilly reception from Pakistan toward the Kerry-Lugar aid bill, saying that the committee intends to include a document alongside the $7.5 billion aid bill aimed at assuaging Pakistani concerns.
“[The document] affirms the primary intention of the Enhanced Partnership With Pakistan Act, it demonstrates the American people’s long-term commitment to the people of Pakistan,” said Kerry during a press briefing with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi. (0:47)
