Major problems remain at the troubled $736-million U.S. embassy project in Baghdad, said House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.).
The project was declared "substantially complete" by a State Dept. official in December 2007. But in a letter to Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Waxman said evidence received by his committee suggests that "this certification of substantial completion was premature and suspect."
