U.S. Increases Aid to $35 Million
Now we're talking...the U.S. has increased its offer of $15 million in aid to the Tsunami victims to $35 million.
The U.S. State Department said an additional $20 million in aid will be added to the $15 million the United States has already pledged for nations hit by the tsunamis. In addition, said Powell, nine patrol planes and 12 C-130 cargo planes packed with relief supplies were on their way to southern Asia.
