Washington: A bill was introduced today in the US House of Representatives seeking to prohibit US President George W Bush from attending the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing following China's crackdown in Tibet and other alleged abuses, a congressional aide said.
The bill was introduced by Thaddeus McCotter, chairman of the policy committee of Bush's Republican party in the House, and several lawmakers have offered to become co-sponsors, the lawmaker's aide, Paul Blocher, told AFP.
