Meanwhile, the Senate has chosen its nominees for the Conference process today following consultations. These are: Senators Richard Lugar (head of Senate Foreign Relations Committee), Joseph Biden (incoming head of SFRC), Chuck Hagel, George Allen and Christopher Dodd. Outgoing Senate Majority leader Bill Frist has been named as the sixth person to intervene to help resolve any difficult issue. The House of Representatives will also be naming its five-member panel later today. This sets the ball rolling for the Conference, a clear indicator that the Bill will be finalised in this session.
