Voting for Tuesday’s House resolution were 84 Republicans, 192 Democrats and one inde pendent. Two Democrats and 137 Republicans voted no. Democrats called the vote a rebuke of President Bush’s Iraq policies, especially his insistence that U.S. aid for reconstructing Iraq must be grants, not loans. Republicans said the roll call simply showed how nervous some lawmakers were about opposing better health care cov erage for reservists and veterans. “I didn’t want anybody to be put on a spot, even on a symbolic vote on these issues,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Bill Young, R-Fla., a sponsor of the Iraq funding bill. “I made it very clear members should vote as they felt.” Democrats took a different view. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the vote “a full-blown rebuff to the administration.” Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin, top Democrat on the House Appropriations panel, said the vote was fueled by law makers' lingering resentment of Bush's tone in a meeting last week with senators, when he said he would not negotiate over Iraqi loans. Obey said Bush “needs to learn to work well with others.” House and Senate negotiators are trying to produce a compro mise $87 billion package for Iraq and Afghanistan by next week, and GOP leaders in both cham bers say they intend to drop Senate-passed language making half the rebuilding aid a loan. Iran Continued from pagelA the Iranian pledges “averyposi tive development.” But he als repeated the accusation that 1® is seeking the ability to rat nuclear amis. Among the many fears oft United States and its allies® Iranian nuclear warheads in raia of Israel and a possible nuclei arms race in the Middle East. Iran insists it seeks onlyenet gy and peaceful research from it nuclear program, including i Russian-built reactor expectedk begin operation in 2005. But Iran had been resistingt key demands by the U.N. nuclei watchdog agency: an accord fa unfettered nuclear inspections and a halt on enriching uranium which is needed for reactors but can be highly enriched to weapons grade. The reversal was linked to i European offer of greater cooper ation on nuclear energy and non- military technology. Iran still must convince ik International Atomic Energj Agency, or IAEA, that it hasm weapons program. Failure could shift debate to the Security Council, which could impose sanctions. Iranian officials, however, appeared to move fast after Tuesday’s breakthrougl announcement. The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Hasan Rowhani, said Iran would sign the protocolon expanded inspections before the next IAEA board meeting Nov. 20. Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran’s envoy to the IAEA, told state-run televi sion that all remaining questions by the agency will be answered by Wednesday. The IAEA list includes theori- gin of weapons-grade uranium traces discovered at two facilities. Iran claims the equipment was exposed before it entered tk country, but has not publicly id- tilled the source. The EU “showed the U.S. that global issues can’t be resolved by war and destruction, but by dia logue. It’s a victory for us, the EU and the international communi ty," Salehi said.
