Senate majority leader Harry Reid is leading lawmakers' effort to craft a bill that will redirect funding from military programs to assist Cuba democracy programs and aid counter-drug trafficking programs in Colombia.
The bill allocates $45 million for Cuba, five times current funding, and will fund democracy activists.
The support is included in a $516 billion government spending bill and replenishes much funding cut during the Bush administration.
