From yesterday...doesn't seem like there would be much impact... U.N. vote expected on Iraq's oil-for-food program December 3, 1997 Web posted at: 7:44 p.m. EST (0044 GMT) UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- The United Nations Security Council is expected to vote Thursday on a resolution to renew Iraq's oil-for-food program for another six months, while delaying any decision on increasing the amount of oil Iraq can sell. The current program, which expires Friday, allows Iraq to sell $2.14 billion worth of oil every six months to buy food and medicine. A British-drafted resolution -- which is supported by the United States -- would renew the program for six months and express the Security Council's "willingness" to consider ways to increase food supplies and distribution in Iraq. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan suggested in a report to the council Monday that the 15-member body increase the amount of oil Iraq can sell, but did not name any figures. He is expected to do so in a report due in January, which means the council could consider an increase in February, according to key council members.
