WASHINGTON - Pressed by foreign ministers to define clearly how much power the United States will cede to an interim Iraqi government June 30, Secretary of State Colin Powell said Friday that if the as-yet-unnamed government asks the United States to withdraw its troops, the United States will do so.

Powell is the most senior administration official yet to state that even an interim, appointed Iraqi government would have the power to dismiss 135,000 U.S. soldiers if it so chose. But he also indicated that he believes the prospects are highly unlikely.
