1. here's what some of the supporters of the substitute amendment say about the compromise bill

Rep. Barbara Lee, a member of the Appropriations Committee, has not said whether she will vote in favor of the bill. As co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, Lee, D-Calif., supports an alternative proposal that would cut funding for all military operations.

In a statement Tuesday, Lee called the supplemental proposal a step forward.

"Still, too many of our troops are dying in an occupation that needs to end sooner rather than later, and I will continue to push for enforceable timelines and to protect our troops and to fully fund their safe and orderly withdrawal from Iraq at the earliest practicable date."

But other members of the Progressive Caucus said they would support the measure once it is on the floor.

"I think people have to take a close look at the best way to get out of Iraq," said Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn. "I think this is the best framework to do that."
