USA Today, 14 Mar 2013As Senate debates a resolution to fund the government, Montana Democrats Max Baucus and Jon Tester pitch an amendment to help ramp up the investigation into the American's mysterious death.
Montana's senators want U.S. research funds withheld from Shane Todd's Singaporean employer until the FBI has full access to evidence in the American's death investigation.
Sens. Max Baucus and Jon Tester, both Democrats, have introduced an amendment to the continuing resolution to fund the government that is being debated on the Senate floor this week that would block Defense Department funds from the employer, the Institute of Microelectronics (IME).
The move comes a day after Singapore's foreign minister, Kasiviswanathan Shanmugam, met with Secretary of State John Kerry and two days after Shanmugam met with Baucus. Shanmugam said his country's police would share evidence with the FBI and conduct an audit of IME's dealings with the Chinese company Huawei. Full story
