New AIT facility finally gets the necessary funding - TW

[dArKeR]

Plans for a new home for the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) took a step forward in the US Congress Wednesday when the House International Relations Committee approved an amendment to a State Department funding bill that would allow spending for the full cost of the new facility.
A similar provision was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in March as part of its State Department funding bill, but the full Senate has not yet acted on the measure.

Both measures would replace earlier language that would limit spending to US$75 million, well below current estimates for the cost of the new facility, which is planned to be built in Taipei's Neihu District later this decade.
