Tsibliyev's service record bears her out. At 43, he's a veteran air force pilot, a graduate of the three-year Gagarin academy at Star City and a cosmonaut with 10 years' experience.

The U.N. must also agree to accept $819 million as full payment even though the organization contends the U.S. owes $1.3 billion. Barring snags, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is expected to approve the legislation today...
