U.S. RELEASES $42 MILLION FOR COLOMBIAN MILITARY

The Bush administration released about $42 million in aid to the Colombian 
military Monday after determining that there was enough improvement in its 
human-rights record to meet congressional requirements for such aid. 
Release of the funds was contingent upon a finding that the Colombian 
military had suspended personnel guilty of grave human-rights violations, 
cooperated with prosecutors in rights cases and was severing ties with 
paramilitary groups
