But whether they'll be any closer to an agreement on the more than $900 billion bill by the time he gets back is anyone's guess. A couple of senior Democratic aides told FOX News late Thursday final passage of the current bill is very likely Friday despite the efforts of a group of 18 senators who have been negotiating a compromise package to get more senators on board. The group claimed earlier in the day to have stripped out close to $100 billion. But asked whether the group can get a compromise, one negotiator, Republican Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida, replied late in the day: "Not likely." Disagreements over the bill have created a power struggle in the Senate, leaving Senate leadership -- as well as the White House -- straining to assert authority. foxnews.com
