Bush, Annan discuss U.N. resolution on Lebanon

CRAWFORD, Texas, Aug 4 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush spoke by phone on Friday with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan amid feverish attempts to reach a U.N. resolution on the fighting in southern Lebanon.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said the two spoke for 15 minutes. He had no immediate details, but earlier Snow said both the United States and France seemed confident that an agreement on a U.N. resolution will be sealed soon.

"If not today it is a matter of a very few days," he said.
