Brazilian Congress limits powers of FIFA, IOC    SAO PAULO (AP)
-- Brazilian lawmakers have limited the powers of FIFA and IOC
over projects related to the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics.
In a bill aimed at reducing the bureaucracy for infrastructure
work for both events, a clause was removed that allowed FIFA and
the International Olympic Committee to request project changes
without cost limits to the Brazilian government.  It was
approved late Tuesday by the lower house of Congress. The bill
also added an element of transparency after critics had
complained that details on previous bidding processes had not
been made available to the public.  The bill will go before the
Senate, which is likely to approve it.
