		After Colombia, the largest single beneficiary of U.S. aid is Bulgaria, which received 13.5 million dollars in outright military grants (mostly to buy U.S. weapons systems) last year and an additional 8.5 million dollars this year.

	Evidence Of Waste Of US Taxpayers’ Dollars In Iraq Contracts
		As a result, basic facts are not being shared with me or others in Congress about the process by which contracts are being awarded, the scope of specific contract terms, the details of task orders, and the payments being made to Halliburton and Bechtel.
		But what is unclear is how these arrangements protect the interests of the US taxpayer or further the goal of putting Iraqis to work rebuilding their own country.
		After repeated suggestions that the contract was limited to fighting oil fires and carrying out related repairs, the Defense Department later revealed that the contract was much broader in scope and extended to operating oil facilities and distributing fuel.

	Jamaica Gleaner - Local suppliers now quoting in US dollars - Friday \| May 16, 2003
		The practice of quoting goods in US dollar has been most pronounced in the tourist resorts of Montego Bay, St. James and Negril in Westmoreland, but is also being practised in Kingston and St. Andrew, according to information reaching The Financial Gleaner.
		He said they have to buy their goods using the existing exchange rates and they have chosen not to also quote the prices in Jamaican dollars because "the rates keep changing" and it would be inefficient to keep changing the prices in Jamaican dollars each week.
		Among those quoting their bills in US dollars, according to the source, are suppliers of products such as cleaning agents, toiletries, computers, as well as building owners who have leased office and shop spaces in malls especially in the tourist resorts.
