Death and destruction in Burma from Cyclone Nargis, and the military government's response to international offers of help, was the subject of a hearing Tuesday in the U.S. Congress. VOA's Dan Robinson reports, lawmakers heard from U.S. officials about the status of efforts to get badly-needed food and supplies to devastated areas, and from a representative of Burma's exile government.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Scott Marciel says Burma's military has yet to open the aid pipeline wide enough to provide the level of assistance necessary to help tens of thousands of cyclone survivors.
