WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nearly 50 members of the U.S. House of Representatives introduced a resolution on Wednesday seeking to end any U.S. involvement in Saudi Arabia's air campaign in Yemen, with plans to introduce a similar measure in the Senate.

Among other things, the measure would end intelligence sharing that enables offensive strikes by the Saudi-led coalition, end logistical support for strikes and bar U.S. personnel from being assigned to accompany coalition forces engaged in hostilities without prior formal congressional authorization.
