$$$ Z USA ZA GROM

Bush will also ask Congress to provide aid to allies in the Gulf region to
help them weather the economic shock of the war. The administration is
offering $1 billion in direct military assistance and $9 billion in loan
guarantees to Israel. Egypt is expected to get $2 billion in loan guarantees
and $300 million in economic grants. Jordan is also in line to receive $1.1
billion in direct economic assistance, sources said.
The Bush administration has dropped plans to provide Turkey with $6 billion
in direct aid and up to $24 billion in loans because the Turkish parliament
refused to allow 62,000 U.S. troops into the country.
Congressional sources said Turkey could still get $1 billion in economic
aid, but it was unclear whether it would be in the White House package due
to U.S.-Turkish tensions.
Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Philippines, Colombia, POLAND and Bulgaria are
also in line to receive some aid under Bush's war budget, according to
sources.
