The House of Representatives on Friday approved by a wide margin the $700 billion economic bailout that sailed through the Senate earlier in the week.
The measure passed by 92 votes, 263 to 171, with the plan picking up support on both sides of the aisle after going down to defeat in the House on Monday.
President Bush said he would sign the bill Friday.
"These steps represent decisive action to ease the credit crunch that is now threatening our economy," Bush said of the provisions of the bill. ЗДРАСТВУЙТЕ Я ВАША ТЁТЯ! ($) (*)
