Annan proposes interim Iraqi government after June 30
United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan offers to help Iraqis form an interim government with broad support to take power after June 30. U.S. administrator Bremer says power will be handed to Iraqis by June 30, while Annan backs that a direct vote before the deadline is impossible. He did not propose alternatives to resolve sovereignty transfer among Americans, Iraq's Governing Council, and Shiite clerics who pushed for an early vote.
