More Manila aid ready
NZPA-Rduter Manila The United States was ready to give the Phillipines iSUSISO million ($273 million) more in economic and military aid, an Under-Secretary of State, Michael Armacost, said yesterday. It would be in addition to more than SUS4OO million ($728 million) already appropriated or awaiting approval by Congress.
He said Washington hoped that its extra aid would encourage other countires to “reach further, deeply into their own pockets to provide assistance along with international banks.” Mr Armacost was ending a four-day visit that included talks with the President, Mrs Corazon Aquino, and members of her Government. He also met opposition
leaders, including former Ministers in the Government of Ferdinand Marcos, who is now in exile with his family in Hawaii. Mr Armacost, a former United States Ambassador to the Phillipines, said he was impressed by the speed with which the new Government had got down to business and with some of its appointments.
