WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said Thursday he would negotiate with Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., to draft a financial reform bill in the Senate.
Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee said last week months discussions with the top Republican on the committee, Richard Shelby of Alabama, had reached a dead end. Dodd said he had instructed his staff to draft a bill without support from Republicans, The New York Times reported.
