Abstract
- This article presents information on attempts of U.S. President George W. Bush to enhance rebuilding in Iraq. If the U.S. Congress goes along with President Bush's proposal, the scope-and the cost of rebuilding post-war Iraq will take a quantum leap. The federal funds would cover only part of a rebuilding that officials estimate will cost $50 billion to $75 billion. U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, issued a draft request for proposals on September 15, 2003, for a second capital construction contract to follow the $680-million contract awarded to Bechtel National Inc. in April. But agency spokesperson Ellen Yount says most of the $350 million will go for electricity restoration and sanitation. INSET: Bechtel's $680-Million Contract Is Now Tapped Out.
