House of Representatives votes to block $450 million US aid to Pakistan
2016-05-23
[Times of India] WASHINGTON: Ignoring objections of the White House, the Republican majority House of Representatives has approved the National Defense Authorisation Act which blocks $450 million aid to Pakistan for failing to take action against the dreaded Haqqani network.

The NDAA 2017 (H R 4909) was passed by the US House of Representative (277-147) on Wednesday night, which among others included approval of three major amendments reflecting the strong anti-Pak sentiment prevailing among the US lawmakers.
HR 4909 or more commonly referred to as the Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour bill. Believe me, it will be paid.

#1  "It will be paid." Wanna bet? Congress has shown before that it can block military sales to Pakistan. It should do so again.
