MEDICAL POT HAS D.C. VOTERS' BACKING

Almost a year after the balloting, voters in the nation's capital learned
Monday that nearly 70 percent of them favored medical use of marijuana.
Votes on the referendum were finally counted after a judge overruled a
congressional ban.

After the proposal is submitted on Capitol Hill,Congress would have 30
legislative days to pass a resolution of disapproval. If it doesn't,the
measure would become law.
