The secretary general's deputy spokesman, Manoel de Almeida e Silva, said that the Office of the Iraq Program has already received contracts from French and Chinese companies worth $88 million which will be circulated for consideration.
The spokesman said that the Iraqi government has proposed the expenditure of $92 million on telecommunications as part of phase five of the oil-for-food program.
