 .

12/11/2004, “U.S. funds political groups in Ukraine,” Associated Press

“The Bush administration has spent more than $65 million in the past two years [2003-2004] 

to aid political organizations in Ukraine,

paying to bring [US preferred] opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko

to meet U.S. leaders and helping to underwrite exit polls indicating he won last month’s disputed runoff election….

IRI, [a taxpayer funded division of NED],…used US money

to help [US-preferred candidate]

Yushchenko arrange meetings with Vice President Dick Cheney,

Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage

and GOP leaders in Congress in February 2003.“...(5th parag. from end)

[The late Lorne Craner was president of IRI at the time].
