In Washington, President Bush warned Iraq threaten U.S. "vital interests," or try to add oil-rich Saudi Arabia to its conquest of Kuwait. He said the United States was willing "to help in any way we possibly can" to stop Iraqi aggression.

Bush has refused to rule out the use of military force. A NATO source said the United States had "contingency plans" in case Iraq's president, Saddam Hussein, advanced his forces further through the strategic region. He did not say what those plan were.

State Department said some Iraqi soliders had pushed their advance to within a few miles of the Saudi border. An Iraqi government spokesman said all troops in Kuwait will be withdrawn according to a timetable, beginning Sunday, according to an official radio broadcast. No time was specified for complete withdrawal. The government spokesman said the Iraqi troops might stay longer if "something cropped up that threatens Kuwait and Iraq."

The legislation was approved by a largely partisan 255-155 vote after its sponsors in the final hours raised its proposed spending ceiling from $550,000 to 1715,000 and removed other provisions opposed by disgruntled Democrats worried about their 1992 re-election bids.

A Republican alternative with no spending ceilings, cutting allowable contributions from political action committees and banning so-called leadership PACs involved in recent House ethics scandals was rejected earlier by a 241-169 vote. First Dog back on the job WASHINGTON President Bush's dog Millie has recovered from the ill effects of ingesting paint solvent and is "back performing her functions as First Dog," a White House official said Friday. The president had said Thursday that Millie was suffering from lead poisoning. In a medical update, White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater downgraded the problem to "acute lead exposure" and said the English springer spaniel is back to her old self. "Millie's in good shape and back performing her functions as First Dog," said Fitzwater.

The dog is in Maine with Barbara Bush at the family's summer home in Kennebunkport. Millie had been lethargic, but "she apparently has overcome the spokesman lakL Bush's earlier prounouncement on Millie's malady prompted "a lot of phone calls" to the White House, Fitzwater said. House OKs deeper debt WASHINGTON The House voted Friday to let the government sink $72 billion deeper into debt over the next two months, a cash infusion designed to avert an unprecedented federal default. By a 247-172 vote, the lawmakers decided to provide enough money to keep federal coffers full through Oct. 2.

The measure was sent to the Senate, where leaders were trying to stave off several controversial amendments that could delay the bill's final approval. Last Tuesday, the House approved a longer-term extension of the debt limit providing 1322 billion in borrowing authority. But that measure, the target of possible amendments in the Senate, is not expected to move toward enactment until after Congress' August recess. Justice Marshall in hospital WASHINGTON Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall was hospitalized for observation Friday after a fall the day before in Chicago, a court spokeswoman said. Marshall, 82, was admitted to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, where he was listed in stable condition, said Toni House.

She said Marshall, who was in Chicago to speak at the annual convention of the American Bar Association, stumbled in the lobby of his hotel Thursday evening. He Dew back to Washington Friday "because he prefers consulting with physicians he knows," said House, adding it did not appear he had broken any bones in the fall. She said Marshall does not plan to return to Chicago, where he was scheduled to address a dinner of the ABA's Judicial Administration Division Monday night. Compiled from wire reports.

I'm no exception. This northern Gulf state was invaded by Iraqi troops early Thursday and my first impulse was to get out. I heard shelling in the distance. I've never heard the sounds of war. I didn't know how close the invading troops were.

It was the not knowing that frayed the nerves. Some said it was over, others said the worst was yet to come.

The superpowers also demanded Iraq withdraw its troops from Kuwait, and Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze said the Soviets had been told Iraq would do so quickly.

"We have been assured that very soon the Iraqis will pull out their troops," Shevardnadze said at a news conference with U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker III at his side. He said the Soviets received the assurances through contacts in Baghdad. Later Friday, an Iraqi government spokesman said Iraqi troops, will begin withdrawing from Kuwait on Sunday, Baghdad Radio announced.
