WASHINGTON (AP) -- House legislation to freeze the budgets of most Cabinet departments and fund the war in Afghanistan faces uncertain prospects as the Senate takes up the measure.

The House narrowly passed the budget deal Wednesday night in a 212-206 vote. As it stands now, the bill will cap the annual operating budgets of federal agencies at the $1.2 trillion approved for the recently finished budget year. It marks a cut of more than 3 percent, $46 billion, from President Barack Obama's request.

The measure, opposed by Republicans, conservative Democrats and some anti-war lawmakers, includes $159 billion to prosecute the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq next year and deals a blow to Obama's efforts to close the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
