SYRIA: Russia’s misgivings ironed out in meeting FROM PAGE A1
any enforcement measures if Syria fails to comply with the provisions of the resolution or the dismantling of its chemical weapons stockpile. Instead, it states that in the event of non-compliance, or any use of chemical weapons, the Security Council will “impose measures under Chapter 7 of the United Nations Charter,” which will require a second resolution. Chapter 7 allows for military and nonmilitary actions to promote peace and security. Russia, Syria’s most powerful ally, had opposed any reference to it. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met in hastily scheduled,
closed-door talks Thursday afternoon to resolve several last-minute disputes on the text, and the agreement was announced soon afterward. The Security Council has long been paralyzed in dealing with the 2 1/2-year Syrian conflict, which has killed more than 100,000 people and spilled over its borders, because of differences between Russia and China, who back Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government, and the U.S., Britain and France, who support the opposition. Russia and China have vetoed three Westernbacked resolutions aimed at pressuring Assad to end the violence. The flurry of diplomatic activity was spurred by the Aug. 21 poison gas
WASHINGTON (AP) — Moving closer to the brink of a government shutdown, House Republicans vowed Thursday they won’t simply accept the stopgap legislation that is likely to remain after Senate Democrats strip away a plan to dismantle President Barack Obama’s health care law. A sense of confusion settled over the House, both over how to avoid a shutdown and how to handle even more important legislation to increase the government’s borrowing ability to avert a default on U.S. obligations. Short of votes, House leaders shelved a vote that had been expected this weekend on the debt limit measure and gave frustrated GOP lawmakers few clues about what they plan to do to avoid a shutdown. The chaos sets the stage for weekend drama on Capitol Hill, with the Senate planning to send the fractious House a straightforward bill Friday to keep the government operating through Nov. 15 rather than partly closing down at midnight Monday.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., center, looks at a countdown clock as Senate Democratic leaders blame conservative Republicans for holding up a stopgap spending bill to keep the government running during a news conference in Washington Thursday. From left to right are Reid, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., chair of the Budget Committee, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., chair of the Appropriations Committee.
Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and several rank-andfile Republicans said the House simply won’t accept a “clean” spending measure, even though that’s been the norm in Congress on dozens of occasions since the 1995-96 government closures that bruised
Republicans and strengthened the hand of Democratic President Bill Clinton. “I don’t see that happening,” Boehner said. Still, he declared that “I have no interest in a government shutdown” and he doesn’t expect one to occur on Tuesday.
