Aid to Pakistan Not Likely to Be Cut Yet
By The Associated Press
LAW ALLOWS AID: The Bush administration has concluded it is not legally required to cut or suspend hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan despite President Pervez Musharraf's imposition of a state of emergency.
WAIVERS: U.S. assistance to Pakistan is governed by legislative requirements that could trigger automatic aid cutoffs, but all are covered by locked-in presidential waivers, said officials familiar with a government-wide review.
STILL POSSIBLE: The initial findings do not mean aid to Pakistan will never be cut, only that there is currently no statutory reason to do so, officials said.
