House unit votes for sanctions on Syria Brian Knowlton/IHT IHT Thursday, October 9, 2003 As White House ends opposition, test for Arab ties is seen WASHINGTON A House of Representatives committee voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to impose economic and diplomatic sanctions on Syria after the White House, deeply frustrated in its diplomatic contacts with Damascus, dropped its opposition to such punitive steps. The House International Relations Committee voted 33-2 for the Syria Accountability Act, which demands that Damascus halt support for terrorism, end any programs to develop weapons of mass destruction and withdraw its troops from Lebanon. The full House, where 275 of 435 members co-sponsored the bill, is expected to pass the measure next week. The bill also has strong bipartisan support in the Senate, where the Foreign Relations Committee is planning to examine the measure this month. iht.com
