White House, Congress push for bailout deal


WASHINGTON (AP) - Nervously eyeing the markets' next trading session, congressional Democrats and Republican senators pushed for an agreement on a multibillion-dollar bailout for the financial sector.

House Republicans said they would not be stampeded into accepting an unwise rescue. But in a sign of possible progress, the House Rules Committee Saturday began drafting guidelines for a debate and vote that could take place as early as Sunday, which would send the bill to the Senate for final passage on Monday.
