Congress is sending President Bush a bill that would extend for two years a federal program to clean up areas of pollution and contaminated sediment around the Great Lakes.
The House voted 411-9 in favor of the measure approving $54 million a year over the next two years.
The original five-year bill, passed in 2003, was to expire this year. The House had sought $150 million a year over five years for the cleanup operation but acceded to a lower level passed by the Senate.
