Though the Bush administration has not disclosed an estimate for the costs of reconstruction in Iraq, private research institutes have said it could be $100 billion.

Here is some of the Iraqi, U.S. and international money American officials say they'll have to spend on the effort:

$1.7 billion in Iraqi funds frozen in 1990 by the United States under economic sanctions. Some $200 million has been drawn from the account so far.

$1.1 billion in Iraqi funds frozen by other nations since the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

$1 billion in American bills taken from Iraq's central bank by the former regime and found hidden around the country.
