STORYLINE:
The US-led coalition transferred sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government two days early on Monday in a surprise move to avert a feared campaign of attacks to sabotage the symbolic step toward self-rule.
Only six of Bremer's 25 advisers knew of the decision ahead of time.
At about 10:00am local time (06:00GMT), the news was confirmed by coalition officials - who insisted on secrecy.
Legal documents transferring sovereignty were handed over by US Governor L. Paul Bremer to chief justice Midhat al-Mahmood in a small ceremony attended by about a dozen Iraqi and coalition officials in the heavily guarded Green Zone.
The ceremony took place in a formal room with Louis XIV furniture in an office in the building formerly used by the Iraqi Governing Council.
Just before the handover occurred, everyone stood up, and documents were passed to the chief justice at 10:26am local time (06:26 GMT) - at that point, legal sovereignty was passed.

1. Exterior Coalition Provisional Authority headquarters
2. Spanish Foreign Minister Ana Palacio, and Chief US administrator in Iraq Paul Bremer, leaving among media
3. Security guard with gun
4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Bremer, Chief US administrator in Iraq:
"We have said all along that we think it is important to implement the November 15 agreement, which was agreed by the Governing Council and has been submitted to the United Nations as the best way forward for the return of sovereignty to the Iraqi people, and to provide for elections in about a year now to a constituent assembly. The Governing Council is in discussions with the Grand Ayatollah for whom we have the greatest respect and I think it is probably best if I leave those discussion between the Governing Council and the Ayatollah."
5. Palacio and Bremer talking to press
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Bremer, Chief US administrator in Iraq:
"We have never announced that the Coalition was in favour of militia, on the contrary, we believe that in unified Iraq there is no place for political parties having armed groups and we believe it is important that those militia which exist be phased out as Iraq moves towards sovereignty. So that is our position."
7. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Ana Palacio, Spanish Foreign Minister:
"I want to say that this meeting with ambassador Bremer was just like the previous ones. I can not say we have regular meetings but it is part of a continuous contact that the (Spanish) government keeps with the CPA and we have these continuous contacts for a very simple reason. It is because we share the objective to make this process of reconstruction to be as successful as possible and as fast as possible. We have therefore been talking about how this process is advancing."
8. Coalition Provisional Authority headquarters
9. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Ana Palacio, Spanish Foreign Minister:
"There is something else that I think is very important, especially for me as a Spaniard. Yesterday at the press-conference in Diwania I saw more Iraqi journalists than Spanish journalists and this means that different opinions and the freedom of information, this basic freedom that is so important in society, is now starting to happen here."
10. Bremer and Palacio talking and posing together for media
11. Palacio and Bremer walk away
STORYLINE:
The United States is opposed to Iraqi political parties maintaining armed militias, the U.S. administrator said on Monday, adding that groups vying to fill the country's power vacuum will have to lay down arms in a future democracy.
Speaking after a meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister, Ana Palacio to discuss the status of the reconstruction process Bremer said "We have never announced that the coalition was in favor of militia."
Bremer made the comments after being asked about the status of a reported U.S. plan to create an anti-terrorism group with the several militias that had opposed the regime of Saddam Hussein.
Some of the militias are run by Kurdish parties in northern Iraq, which had been outside Saddam's control for more than a decade. Others are from the majority Shiite Muslim population.
"We believe it is important for those militias that exist to be phased out as Iraq moves toward sovereignty," Bremer said.
Despite their unease over the militias, U.S. officials have moved carefully because of the political risks of a major showdown, especially with the Shiites and the Kurds.

3. Security guard with gun
4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Bremer, Chief US administrator in Iraq:
"We have said all along that we think it is important to implement the November 15 agreement, which was agreed by the Governing Council and has been submitted to the United Nations as the best way forward for the return of sovereignty to the Iraqi people, and to provide for elections in about a year now to a constituent assembly. The Governing Council is in discussions with the Grand Ayatollah for whom we have the greatest respect and I think it is probably best if I leave those discussion between the Governing Council and the Ayatollah."
5. Palacio and Bremer talking to press
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Bremer, Chief US administrator in Iraq:
"We have never announced that the Coalition was in favour of militia, on the contrary, we believe that in unified Iraq there is no place for political parties having armed groups and we believe it is important that those militia which exist be phased out as Iraq moves towards sovereignty. So that is our position."
7. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Ana Palacio, Spanish Foreign Minister:
"I want to say that this meeting with ambassador Bremer was just like the previous ones. I can not say we have regular meetings but it is part of a continuous contact that the (Spanish) government keeps with the CPA and we have these continuous contacts for a very simple reason. It is because we share the objective to make this process of reconstruction to be as successful as possible and as fast as possible. We have therefore been talking about how this process is advancing."

9. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Ana Palacio, Spanish Foreign Minister:
"There is something else that I think is very important, especially for me as a Spaniard. Yesterday at the press-conference in Diwania I saw more Iraqi journalists than Spanish journalists and this means that different opinions and the freedom of information, this basic freedom that is so important in society, is now starting to happen here."

STORYLINE:
The United States is opposed to Iraqi political parties maintaining armed militias, the U.S. administrator said on Monday, adding that groups vying to fill the country's power vacuum will have to lay down arms in a future democracy.
Speaking after a meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister, Ana Palacio to discuss the status of the reconstruction process Bremer said "We have never announced that the coalition was in favor of militia."
Bremer made the comments after being asked about the status of a reported U.S. plan to create an anti-terrorism group with the several militias that had opposed the regime of Saddam Hussein.
Some of the militias are run by Kurdish parties in northern Iraq, which had been outside Saddam's control for more than a decade. Others are from the majority Shiite Muslim population.
"We believe it is important for those militias that exist to be phased out as Iraq moves toward sovereignty," Bremer said.
Despite their unease over the militias, U.S. officials have moved carefully because of the political risks of a major showdown, especially with the Shiites and the Kurds.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
The Coalition Provisional Authority Program Review Board was composed of the senior personnel of the Coalition Provisional Authority, charged with the responsibility to review and make recommendations about the awarding of contracts to the administrator of the authority, Paul Bremer.
The board recommended the awarding of more than 800 contracts.
It had the authority to recommend expenditures from both the Development Fund for Iraq, which the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) administered in trust on behalf of the Iraqi people, and the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund, which the CPA administered on behalf of the American people.
The expenditures from the Development Fund for Iraq that the board recommended to CPA Administrator Bremer were made under obligations the Coalition undertook under United Nations resolution 1483. They included making sure that
expenditures were administered in an open and transparent manner.
According to the KPMG audit of the Development Fund for Iraq expenditures, the board routinely failed to properly document its decisions.
