i made one change and asked about another

[should this be Tuesday night?] Last night President Bush presented his proposed federal budget to Congress. Banking on a projected 10-year $5.6 trillion budget surplus, President Bush expects to reduce the national debt by $2 trillion and provide $1.6 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade. The budget also includes spending increases above inflation of $1.8 billion for education and $2.8 billion for medical research.

this is all from the amnity international press release and report and it's too long

According to a new report by Amnisty International, "torture does not happen in a vacuum. The tools and techniques used by officials for deliberately inflicting physical suffering rely on a failure of political will. If the governments of the world had the will to stop torture, they could do so."

here's a first draft

On Tuesday, Columbian President Andres Pastrana met with President Bush to discuss Plan Columbia, the $1.3 billion US aid package which is intended to facilitate the Columbian government’s war on drugs. Critics claim Plan Columbia focuses excessively on military support and not enough on the social and economic needs of rural Columbians currently dependant on the drug trade.
