HOUSE AND SENATE CONFEREES UPDATE

House and Senate Conferees on the 9/11 recommendations legislation met
today, but the meeting was inconclusive.  They will meet again tomorrow, and
we will keep you posted with what we know.

Today, the leaders of the 9/11 Commission released another letter asking
Congress to drop the controversial immigration provisions that were in the
House bill but not recommended by the Commission.  See below for highlights
of that letter.  You can read the entire letter at:
