The administration of President George W. Bush is seeking more than $600 million from Congress to continue the hunt for conclusive evidence that Saddam Hussein's government had an illegal weapons program, officials said.

The size of the administration request suggests that the White House is determined to keep searching for unconventional weapons or evidence that they were being developed under Saddam.

Counting the money already spent, the total price tag for the search will approach $1 billion.
