Report tracks U.S. groups' tsunami aid

A spending rate of 17 percent in 3 months, group says
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- U.S. aid groups used about 17 percent of private donations to help tsunami survivors in the first three months after the Indian Ocean tragedy in December, according to a report released Tuesday.
InterAction, an umbrella group representing more than 160 U.S.-based aid organizations, detailed how some 60 member groups used funds donated by the public in the first 90 days after the tsunami, which devastated coastal communities from Somalia to Indonesia.
