US President Bush has a to-do list awaiting Congress when lawmakers return from their Memorial Day recess. "I hope members of Congress return rested because they have a lot of work left on important issues and limited time to get it done," Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address. On his work list for lawmakers: a war funding bill, intelligence legislation, veterans benefits, a free trade pact and giving a nod to Steve Preston, his nominee for housing secretary. "In all these areas, Congress has failed to act," Bush said. Bush ALSO said Congress needs to pass a war funding bill that is not "loaded up" with unrelated domestic spending.
