Congress Clears Ryan White
The House cleared the compromise Ryan White CARE Act that the Senate announced and passed just a few days ago. A key House chairman had seemingly engaged in some quid-pro-quo dealmaking: He would accept the Senate Ryan White bill if the Senate in turn passed his bill to restructure the National Institutes of Health. The Senate, which had been cool to that idea before, obliged. The moves came as part of one of those fun marathons that come at the very end of a session and last nearly all night. Whatever Congress did not pass now must start anew next year, when the 110th Congress convenes.
