Breaking: White House Sends Congress $70 Billion War-Funding Bill
02 May 2008 The White House sent lawmakers a $70 billion supplemental
funding bill to cover part of the cost of the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan in fiscal year 2009. The lion's share of the Pentagon
funds -- $45.1 billion -- would be used to fund combat operations
in Iraq and Afghanistan. Classified activities account for another
$3 billion.

Chevron Posts $5.17 Billion Profit 02 May 2008 Chevron Corp.'s
first-quarter earnings echoed a theme set earlier this week by other
international oil companies: soaring crude prices are pumping up
profits to astronomical levels.

Chevron reported a 9.6% rise in first-quarter net income as surging
oil prices nearly doubled profits at its fossil fuels production
business. Chevron posted a net income of $5.17 billion, topping
analysts mean estimates by $219 million, despite narrower refining
margins and a tough comparison from a big year-ago gain.
