US funds for DC-Cam

In the Phnom Penh Post of August 11, 2006, Charles McDermid stated in his article

"Doubting US withholds KRT Funds" that "The US has provided between

$7 million and $9 million to fund the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-CAM)."

The correct endowment funds figure is $2 million and the correct total funding since

the establishment of DC-Cam is approximately $2.4 million (and if we spread evenly

over the years, the annual funding is approximately $200,000).
