US seeks broad control of Iraqi oil, funds
Washington Post - 05/09/03

"The Bush administration circulated a draft resolution among key Security Council members today calling for the elimination of more than a decade of international sanctions on Iraq and granting the United States broad control over the country's oil industry and revenue until a permanent, representative Iraqi government is in place. The resolution ... would shift control of Iraq's oil from the United Nations to the United States and its military allies, with an international advisory board having oversight responsibilities but
little effective power." A transitional Iraqi government, which U.S. authorities have said they hope to establish within weeks, would be granted a consultative role. The proposal would give the United States far greater authority over Iraq's lucrative oil industry than administration officials have previously acknowledged.
