House to vote on stimulus Fri
WASHINGTON - THE US House of Representatives will vote on Friday on an unprecedented US$789 billion (S$1.2 trillion) plan to pull the economy out of a tailspin to give lawmakers more on Thursday.

The vote 'will be tomorrow. This will give members more time to read the bill,' which came out of hard-fought negotiations on Wednesday, said the aide, who requested anonymity.-- AFP
