MODIFIED CLOSED RULE ON TELECOM DEBATE AGREED TO
Vote in the Dead-of-Night 

Washington, DC--The US House of Representatives tonight agreed tonight, at
midnight, to debate the telecom reform measure H.R. 1555 under a modified
closed rule, as provided by H. Res. 207, by a vote of 255 Yeas and 156
Nays.  Rep. David R. Obey (D-WI), stated that it was "a disgrace" that the
debate on the telecommunications bill that is of such great importance to
the American people would be debated "in the dead-of-night."
