*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* Something is bothering me about Mark Urban´s email-- now that Iraq has the Oil for Food money they spend > miserably little of it of infant feeding programmes; Iraq has spent huge > amounts on Saddam's palaces and gold rolexes But did I not read in the recent press release from Dennis Halliday that the Iraqi govt has no access to Oil-for-food monies? Just wondering. Marc Wilson. Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 13:08:17 +0000 (GMT) (As posted to the IAC list) Contrary to State Department issuances, the Office of Sevan knows full well that the government in Baghdad has no access to OiI for Food monies. They know that there have been no reports from 150 UN system observers throughout Iraq of food supplies being stolen or diverted by Baghdad. The office can explain why there have been delays in distribution by the Ministry of Health of some medicines - such as poor quality unfit for human use, packages with missing components, regferation/transporation inadequacies, poor inventory control despite WHO assistance and even some overseas manufacturing problems.
