The U.S. House of Representatives gave final approval to legislation aimed at forcing Russia to stop exporting ballistic missile technology to Iran. The House approved the measure by far more than the two-thirds majority required to override a presidential veto, as the Senate did late last month. The move sets up a confrontation with the Clinton administration, which has argued that the bill would undermine efforts to address the issue with Russia through diplomatic channels. Most Jewish activists are backing the measure.
