U.S. to Send Aid Team to Libya, Meet Opposition Leaders 
--------------------------------------------------------



The Obama administration has announced plans to send a U.S. aid team to
the rebel-controlled eastern Libya. Testifying before a House panel,
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also announced she will meet
with members of the Libyan opposition.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "We remain engaged with the Libyan
sanctions committee at the United Nations to consider tougher measures
as the situation develops and we are reaching out to the opposition
inside and outside of Libya. I will be meeting with some of those
figures both here in the United States and when I travel next week to
discuss what more the United States and others can do."
