"COPRESIDA-Secretariado Tecnico, a Dominican Republic government agency formed to fight AIDS, each gave $10 million"

That is very interesting. I wonder how that organization is funded to begin with. Although I am not familiar with that agency, it is possible it gets partial funding from the US to begin with, thereby effectively becoming a conduit for US government funds being transferred to the library.

Again, I'm unsure of the particulars in this case, but it seems like a lot of money for a Dominican agency to be giving a private foundation, regardless of where the funds originate.

One thing that is refreshing about this is the insistance of the Obama transition team of a full accounting of these funds.
