In news from Capitol Hill, Congress has moved closer to passing major legislation that would restructure the country’s intelligence community. The bill largely puts into place recommendations by the 9/11 Commission. On Monday a compromise was reached between the House leadership and the White House on the bill. Even though the bill has had the support of President Bush, House Speaker Dennis Hastert has been sidetracking the legislation due to concerns over issues surrounding military intelligence and immigration.
