(Reuters) – The House of Representatives is expected to vote this week on a proposal to cut off funds for U.S. military hostilities in Libya, lawmakers in the Republican majority said on Wednesday.
The measure, which is still being drafted, would ban funding for U.S. participation in combat missions such as drone attacks in the NATO-led air war, said Representative Howard McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
“It would not have funding for hostilities. The drones couldn’t be used for bombing,” McKeon told reporters.
A vote is likely on Friday.
