President Clinton called on Congress to increase foreign aid to Russia, Bosnia and the Middle East. In a speech to the annual Veterans of Foreign Wars convention Clinton said Congress should provide the nearly $2 billion in U.S. aid promised during last October’s Wye peace talks. Clinton said Monday about the Middle East, “If it becomes again a place of war, it will cost us far more than investing in a common, shared peaceful future.”
