(Yahoo) — A senior U.S. official says the Obama administration will pledge $1.15 billion over the next two years to help with Haiti’s post-earthquake reconstruction.
The official says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will announce the pledge on Wednesday at a U.N. donors conference that is expected to raise $3.8 billion in initial assistance to rebuild schools, hospitals, courthouses and neighborhoods destroyed in the Jan. 12 quake.
