WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives voted Thursday to prevent the CIA from using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods that already are banned from use by the U.S. military.
The bill, which would fund and set policies for U.S. intelligence agencies, passed 222-199. It next goes to the Senate, where it faces strong Republican opposition.
Even if the Senate approves the bill, the White House said in a statement that the president’s advisers recommend that he veto it. The White House objects to the interrogation provision and other sections that would increase congressional oversight.
