USA: PAKISTANI PRIME MINISTER BENAZIR BHUTTO VISIT

(10 Apr 1995) English/Nat Pakistan's Prime Minister says she intends to tell President Clinton that Pakistan has always honoured its "Contract with America." And today (Monday) she said that the United States should either deliver on frozen munitions contracts or refund $1.4 billion already paid by Pakistan. Demonstrators were waiting for Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan when she returned to Washington after a weekend in the New York area. Bhutto is in Washington for the official part of an American tour aimed at attracting U-S investment and persuading the United States to deliver on past munitions orders. In a speech at Johns Hopkins University's School for Advanced International Studies, Bhutto said that Pakistan has always honoured its "Contract with America" and now the United States should deliver 28 US-made F-16 fighter jets paid for by Pakistan. SOUNDBITE: "On every front, on every issue, through a prolonged Cold War and a brutal Hot War, Pakistan fulfilled its obligations under its contract with America. Pakistan kept its contract with its ideals of freedom." SUPER CAPTION: Benazir Bhutto, Prime Minister of Pakistan The money and jets were impounded by the Bush administration under a 1990 law known as the Pressler Amendment. The law prohibits the sending of military equipment or economic aid to Pakistan unless the President certifies that Pakistan is not seeking to make nuclear weapons. And Bhutto's message was clear: deliver the jets or refund the $1.4 (b) billion Pakistan has already paid the U-S government. SOUNDBITE: "But stuck up under the garb of the Pressler sanctions are $1.4 billion dollars of military equipment, American military equipment, paid for out of Pakistan's national funds. We in Pakistan would like equipment made by American workers, but if America cannot give us back our equipment, we would like our money back. That simple. That fair. SUPER CAPTION: Benazir Bhutto, Prime Minister of Pakistan Clinton has voiced readiness to review the policy, but changing the law could be a long process. While Bhutto hopes to smooth things out in her Tuesday meeting with President Clinton, these demonstrators hope their message won't be forgotten.
