House floor action on FY08 Iraq Supplemental Funding Bill scheduled for week of April 14-18

The House Democratic Leadership has announced they intend the House debate and vote upon Bush’s request for at least an additional $100 billion for Iraq military operations during the week of April 14th.  When the Leadership staff was asked if they would allow amendments, including one based on H.R. 5507 that would fence the $ so it could only be used to pay for fully-funded redeployment of all U.S. troops and military contractors within 1 year of enactment, they said the House Democratic Leadership “has no policy as of now.”
