Bankruptcy not on Frist's radar
Bankruptcy not on Frist's radar: In recent statements, Senate Majority Leader Frist (R-TN) has been outlining the agenda for the Senate for the upcoming months and also, to some extent, the remainder of the session. Acknowledging time is "tight" Sen. Frist has not mentioned bankruptcy, HR 975, as being on the short term list (the next month or so) nor the list for the balance of the year.
However, this does not mean the bill is "dead" since proponents continue to negotiate and look for opportunities to move the bill, not to mention it would not be the end of a Congress without the 2-minute drill in early September.
