HEADLINE: 70 US lawmakers call for end to Iraq sanctions
BYLINE: Olivier Knox
DATELINE: WASHINGTON, Feb 15
BODY:
UN economic sanctions against Iraq have not toppled Saddam Hussein but have created a humanitarian crisis, and must be lifted, a group of 70 US lawmakers urged President Bill Clinton in a letter released Tuesday.
The bipartisan group from the House of Representatives, including the chamber's number two Democrat, David Bonior, said it supported maintaining the ban on sales of military equipment and materials to the regime.
