WASHINGTON

US House of Representatives approved a bill that would authorize US President Barack Obama to grant two guided missile frigates to Turkey.
The bill was submitted by Republican member Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Democratic member Howard Berman, and it was debated at House floor through suspension of rules that by-passed a preliminary debate at the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. 
If the bill also gets the backing of the US Senate, Turkey may receive the USS Halyburton (FFG–40) and the USS Thach (FFG–43) -- both capable of firing guided missiles -- along with several other countries, including Thailand and Mexico.
