Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- House and Senate negotiators on a massive reorganization of the nation's intelligence system have so far been unable to move forward with a compromise bill.
After meeting late into Wednesday evening following a breakdown in the first day's conference and three days of staff-level talks, House Permanent Select Intelligence Chairman Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., ranking member Jane Harman, D-Calif., Senate Governmental Affairs Chairman Susan Collins, R-Maine, and ranking Democrat Joe Lieberman of Connecticut remain at an impasse on a basic compromise between the divergent House and Senate bills.
The four-party talks replaced the broader meeting between all House and Senate conferees after Hoekstra failed to press a House-GOP plan for compromise -- aimed at meeting a pre-election deadline for approval of a final bill -- after Democrats balked at the move.
The details of that plan are still unknown, but the House version of the bill has been opposed by many in the Senate, Sept. 11, 2001, victims' family members and the Sept. 11 commission for including a host of "extraneous" provisions related to immigration and criminal justice matters.
