The Justice Department probes the cost of delivering U S military gear to Egypt since 1979. The Washington Post reports $51 million in bills from Egyptian-American Transport and Service Co. EATSCO, formed by Thomas S Clines and Hussein K Salem, held the exclusive contract for shipments under a U S Egyptian agreement. Analysts call the charges unusually high for about 300 million dollars of equipment in two years. Clines' attorney says the company is under investigation and denies wrongdoing.
