HEADLINE: Lawmakers Accept Provision Against World Court

BODY:

After last-minute intervention yesterday by House GOP Whip Tom DeLay
(R-Tex.), House and Senate negotiators agreed to prohibit any U.S.
cooperation in the establishment of the International Criminal Court, which
is being established in the Netherlands to prosecute war crimes, genocide
and other crimes against humanity.
DeLay and other members of Congress fear that the court's broad reach
could be extended to the prosecution of U.S. servicemen abroad. But
although the administration also opposes the establishment of the court for
similar reasons, it told Congress that the Senate provision, in the bill
funding the Commerce, Justice and State departments, would "impede our
efforts to advocate U.S. interests" related to the court.
Nonetheless, House negotiators, led by Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-Va.), agreed
to accept the Senate provision after DeLay weighed in on the side of the
Senate, sources said.
