WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday that a second version of a draft U.N. resolution on Iraq would be ready within days, based on conversations between U.S. officials and other world leaders.

"We will begin to share that with our friends on the Security Council. I can't tell you when the resolution will be passed," Powell said on ABC's "This Week."

Speaking on CNN's "Late Edition," he said, "I'm sensing that within the Security Council there are people who want to move forward to a new resolution ... that would provide a broader international mandate for what we're doing.

"It would involve the creation of a multinational force-cover for the troops that are there."
