WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional Republicans killed a provision in an
Iraq war funding bill that would have put the United States on record against the permanent basing of U.S. military facilities in that country, a lawmaker and congressional aides said on Friday.

The $94.5 billion emergency spending bill, which includes $65.8 billion to continue waging wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, is expected to be approved by Congress next week and sent to
President George W. Bush for signing into law."
