The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“$400,000 IN TAXPAYER MONEY PROPOSED FOR QADDAFI'S CHILDREN” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H9902 on Sept. 24, 2009.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
$400,000 IN TAXPAYER MONEY PROPOSED FOR QADDAFI'S CHILDREN
(Mr. KIRK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. KIRK. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Libyan dictator Qaddafi spoke to the U.N. for almost 2 hours.
Here on the Hill on the same day, we received a State Department notification proposing $400,000 in U.S. taxpayer money for the foundations of Qaddafi's son and daughter.
You heard that right.
After the murders of 189 Americans aboard Pan Am flight 103 and after watching the bomber being welcomed home from Scotland, the administration is proposing donating $200,000 to Saif Qaddafi's Qaddafi Development Foundation. Recall that Qaddafi's son, Saif, organized the
``welcome home'' ceremony for the Pan Am bomber.
The administration also is proposing donating $200,000 in taxpayer funds to the Waettasmeno/UNDP foundation, which is run by Qaddafi's daughter, Ayesha. She is also conveniently the head of Libya's UNDP.
This is part of a $2.5 million grant proposed for Libya by the Obama administration--U.S. funding for an oil-rich OPEC nation which is responsible for U.S. national security problems across Africa.
