| Description | The House is expected to vote Friday on legislation to limit funding for the U.S. military mission in Libya after Republican leaders scrambled to re-write an initial proposal by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).
Boehner on Tuesday night introduced two proposals that would allow lawmakers to vote to either authorize or end the U.S. combat mission.
The original plan was to vote on both Thursday, but after a closed-door conference meeting on Wednesday GOP leaders set out to revise the second measure so that it restricts funding for the mission in the current fiscal year without “undercutting our NATO allies,” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said. |
