US House to vote on bill cutting funds for Libya
— June 24, 2011Desk Report: The House of Representatives is expected to vote this week on a proposal to cut off funds for US military hostilities in Libya, lawmakers in the Republican majority said on Wednesday.
The measure, which is still being drafted, would ban funding for US participation in combat missions such as drone attacks in the Nato-led air war, said Representative Howard McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
“It would not have funding for hostilities. The drones couldn’t be used for bombing,” McKeon told reporters.
A vote is likely on Friday. It is unclear if the measure can pass and Senate approval is unlikely. But criticism has been building in Congress, especially in the Republican-led House, of US involvement in the Libya campaign and President Barack Obama’s refusal to ask Congress for its consent.
The House measure would allow US funding to continue until October 1 for “non-hostile’ actions such as search and rescue, aerial refueling, operational planning, and intelligence, Republican aides said.
