House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and three other Democratic House members are now in Iraq and will meet with the country's prime minister.
A senior congressional source told CNN that Reps. Tom Lantos of California, Ike Skelton of Missouri, and John Murtha of Pennsylvania are part of the fact-finding trip. They will be meeting with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
Lantos is chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Skelton is chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Murtha -- a major critic of the way the Iraq war has been conducted -- is chairman of the appropriations subcommittee that oversees the military budget.
The delegation is scheduled to return to Washington on Monday.
