If possible this accord will be put to Congress again

VLADIVOSTOK. 9 September. VOSTOK-MEDIA. The USA has frozen an accord with Russia criticisizing Russian military actions in Georgia. President G. Bush had called upon Congress to pass the accord but on Monday he withdrew it back.
State Department Spokesman, Shone Maccormack said that taking into account the present situation it was not a time for this treaty. However, Bush’s Administration holds on opinion that if it is possible the accord will be presented in Congress again.
