US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has warned the lawmakers that she would recommend President Barack Obama to veto a bill, which imposes aid restrictions on several countries including Pakistan.
Clinton said this in a letter to leadership of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, which last week passed the Foreign Authorization Bill, which among other things requires a certification from the Secretary of State that Pakistan is not supporting terrorist activities.
"For Pakistan, the bill toughens the certification criteria for assistance under Kerry-Lugar-Berman Pakistan legislation and removes altogether that law's waiver authorities," Clinton told the Congressional leadership expressing her strong opposition to the Foreign Relations Authorization Act.
The bill includes onerous restrictions and State operations, international organizations and foreign assistance, Clinton said in her letter dated July 26.
