 WASHINGTON (AP) - Three senators with differing political views are working behind the scenes to rescue troubled climate legislation.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., together with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, said Wednesday they would work with the White House to patch together a bill that could pass the Senate. Meanwhile, a key Senate committee was considering advancing the bill without Republican participation.
"Our effort is to try to reach out to broaden the base of support," Kerry said at an afternoon news conference. "The key here is to really negotiate once, in a sense."
