Clinton, Bhutto seek resolution to 'Pressler' ban on F-16 deliveries

Article Abstract:

The Clinton administration has reiterated its committment to resolve the issue of 28 undelivered F-16s to Pakistan during Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's state visit to the US on Apr. 5-12, 1995. The US refused to deliver the F-16s under the Pressler Amendment because it was revealed that Pakistan was developing nuclear arms. The administration is pushing for either a repeal or revisions in the law. If it fails to push for changes in the law, the Clinton administration will either offer training for Pakistani troops or waive the $50,000 annual storage fee for the undelivered aircraft.
