White House officials have begun talks with Congress on a war spending bill in place of the one President Bush vetoed on Tuesday.
He rejected it because the Democratic-controlled Congress tried to set a date for American troops to leave Iraq. The bill would have required a withdrawal to begin by October.
The spending measure totaled one hundred twenty-four billion dollars. One hundred billion of that would have gone to pay for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The veto was only the second of Mister Bush’s presidency. The first was last year, to stop Congress from ending his restrictions on federal money for stem cell research.
On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted to try to save the war spending bill that the president vetoed. But, as in the case of his first veto, there was not enough support for an override.
The president met with Democratic and Republican congressional leaders after the House fa
A. Because the Democrats set a deadline to the withdrawal of American soldiers in Iraq.
B. Because the bill was proposed by Democrats, but Bush belongs to the Republican Party.
C. Because the spending was not enough.
D. Because the spending was too much.

At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fires are often caused by broken glass or cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake Which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,000-volt power. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.
