Lieberman Pushing for Bush to Delay Ports Move

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, D-Conn., hopes President Bush will at least delay purchase of six U.S. port operations by the government of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, so Congress is not compelled to act, a spokeswoman said. Lieberman "will support efforts to put the decision on hold, pending investigation, review and reassurance. But he thinks the president should do this so legislation is not necessary," said spokeswoman Leslie Phillips.

Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., who called last week for an investigation into the sale's approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, wrote Bush Wednesday asking that his administration also look into the possibility of conflict of interest in the vote.
