Senate Legislates Reports on Iraq

From the New York Times: "The Senate signaled its growing unease with the war in Iraq today, voting overwhelmingly to demand regular reports from the White House on the course of the conflict and on the progress that Iraqi forces are making in securing their own country."

The Senate approved Senate Amendment 2518 yesterday in roll call vote 323 (79-19). This is an amendment to Senate Bill 1042, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006, which was also approved yesterday in roll call vote 326.
