For all the maneuvering, Democrats had concluded that it was essential to provide funds for the Pentagon, then renew their effort to force a change in WHAT HAPPENED ON FRIDAY I President Bush signed a bill Friday to pay for military operations in Iraq after a bitter struggle with Democrats in Congress who sought unsuccessfully to tie the money to U.S. troop withdrawals. Bush signed the bill into law at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, where he is spending part of the Memorial Day weekend. Bush had rejected an earlier bill because it contained a timetable for withdrawing troops. While the measure he signed establishes political goals for the Iraqi government and ties U.S. reconstruction aid to benchmarks, Bush retains authority over the funds regardless of how the government in policy. "This is not a game. They run out of money next week," said Rep. John whose speech opposing Murtha, Bush's Iraq policy more than a year ago was a turning point. By midweek, according to several officials, Democrats had abandoned D-P- their demand for a troop withdrawal timetable. Gone, too, was a proposal requiring the president to issue a public report whenever the Pentagon ordered troops shipped to Iraq without the required training, equipment or i. rest. A provision threatening to cut reconstruction aid unless the Iraqi government meets standards for military and political progress was reduced to a warning. Bush retains the right to decide whether the aid will be spent. Officials in both parties described a series of events leading to the final d Baghdad performs. deal. Reid conveyed the concessions on Monday in a phone call to White House Chief of Staff Josh Boltea In exchange, Reid wanted $21 billion in added spending. About $9 billion was for defense-relate- d items, the other $12 billion for domestic programs such as hurricane relief, farmer aid, Democratic wish list. Among them was a provision involving the sale of Christmas ornaments by the Senate's day care center. Bush had ridiculed it children's health care and at one point, and could not now sign it: more.

The AP reported that about 38 million Americans are expected to travel 50 miles or more this weekend, a 1.7 percent increase from last year's holiday, according to the AAA. Rollins doesn't plan to go anywhere over the holiday weekend because gas prices are so high. She's even thinking about getting a more car. "I'm thinking I'd like to sell The latest in BYU Sports online wwww.heraldextra.com for a compact car," Rollins said. One potential problem with gas prices up, maybe no one will want her SUV.

Friday at a Texaco station on University Parkway, she was running on empty on her way to a soccer game. "I've been waiting so long for it to go down," Robinson said. "I think it's ridiculous." Despite high gas prices, the Utah Highway Patrol is expecting heavy traffic this weekend, and they're urging motorists to be cautious. Lt. Steve W inward, a spokesman for UHP, said motorists should avoid areas to get heavy as people come back.
