And, in a slap at what critics see as the administration's reluctance to share information about Iraq with Congress, Republicans joined Democrats in adding several watchdog provisions to the bill, adjustments that demonstrated unease with the administration's desire to spend taxpayer money freely in Iraq. One powerful Republican on the committee openly accused the administration of arrogance.

"There are a lot of people here who have tried to be a strong supporter of this administration, doing everything they possibly could," said Representative Frank R. Wolf, Republican of Virginia and chairman of the House appropriations subcommittee for the Commerce and Justice Departments. "But you bump up against a degree of arrogance over and over again."

Mr. Wolf added: "I want the president to do well, but it's important that you be open when members of Congress on either side, on either party, try to get information. Pride goeth before the fall."

Senator Ted Stevens, Republican of Alaska and chairman of the Appropriations Committee, seconded the spirit of Mr. Wolf's remarks, criticizing L. Paul Bremer III, the American administrator in Iraq, for declining to meet with him and other Congressional leaders this week.
