KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON, BIDEN OFFER AMENDMENT

chron.com


Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a longtime backer of President Bush's Iraq policies, on Friday joined with a prominent Democrat to push a war proposal the Bush administration opposes.

She joined with Sen. Joe Biden, a Democratic presidential candidate from Delaware, on a proposal that would give regions of Iraq local control over police, jobs, education and government services. Biden's proposal, an amendment to the defense authorization bill, could get a vote next week.

Hutchison said her backing of the amendment doesn't mean she has changed her position on the war. She echoed the administration view that the buildup of troops has succeeded in reducing violence.
