Congress Divide Jeopardizes Pension Bill
WASHINGTON (AP) --
A rancorous dispute between the House and the Senate, climaxed by
House members boycotting a Senate-called meeting, paralyzed efforts to
reach agreement on major pension overhaul legislation.
With the dispute, which centered on whether unrelated tax measures
should be attached to the pension bill, Congress was in danger of
missing yet another target for passing the bill that a majority of
lawmakers see as essential to the retirement security of millions of
Americans.
