The potential deal would ease the way for Congress to quit work until after the Nov. 8 election. Democrats welcomed the move, which would address their chief complaint to a GOP plan intended to fight the virus. think a major issue right now. I think that will be Rep.
Nita Lowey, said of the controversy related to Planned Parenthood. The money to fight Zika would be added to must- pass legislation intended to prevent a government shutdown on Oct. 1. Several issues remain unresolved, and the measure be unveiled until next week, lawmakers said Thursday. The plan by Senate GOP negotiators would allow Zika money in Puerto Rico, where the virus is spreading widely, to be distrib- uted to clinics affiliated with Planned Parenthood, agroup many Republicans dislike because of the abortion services it provides.
The controversy erupted in June after Republicans limited distribution of health grants for Puerto Rico to entities like public health providers and hospitals, a restriction that Republicans acknowledge was aimed at making sure Planned Parenthood was ineligible to receive any of the funding. Democrats also objected to other Zika provisions added by Republicans after bipartisan negotiations broke down, including $750 million in spending cuts that Democrats say should not be a condition for addressing disasters such as Zika. Other sticking points remain, including a GOP demand to keep the spending cuts and a provision to ease rules involving spraying of pesticides to combat mosquitoes that can spread Zika. The temporary spending bill is the only must-pass item on the Capitol Hill agenda before the November elections. As such, it is being eyed to carry several add-ons, such as aid to help Louisiana recover from last disastrous flooding.
Aides: Congress nears deal on Zika, spending By Andrew Taylor Associated Press WASHINGTON The House Intelligence Committee on Thursday sent a bipartisan letter to President Barack Obama urging him not to pardon Edward Snowden, asserting that the former National Security Agency contractor carried out largest and most leak of classified information in U.S. history. The letter emerged on the same day that the panel unanimously voted to adopt a classified report on Snowden that portrays him as a disgruntled employee whose leak caused damage to national Snowden, 33, gave large numbers of sensitive files to journalists in 2013, an action he said he took out of concern that government surveillance programs were operating in violation of the U.S. Constitution. He said the public had a right to be informed of the programs so it could engage in debate about the proper scope of such surveillance.
On Wednesday, a coalition of human rights groups launched a campaign to urge Obama to pardon Snowden before he leaves office. Snowden was charged in June 2013 with espionage and felony theft of government property. The letter came on the eve of the release of an Oliver Stone movie that portrays Snowden sympathetically. Snowden is living in Russia under a grant of political asylum. The intelligence panel rejected arguments that Snowden acted out of conscience and insisted that he should be held accountable for his actions.
In their letter, the lawmakers reminded Obama that he had said in a news conference in 2013, think Mr. Snowden was a they wrote, agree with you. Mr. Snowden is not a patriot. He is not a whistleblower.
