Internet Gambling Bill May Not Get Vote Before Congressional Recess

Washington - A bill that would ban most forms of Internet gambling in the U.S. may not come up for a vote before the end of the week, when the Congressional session concludes for the midterm elections, Reuters reported. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), one of the bill's proponents, had sought to tack the legislation onto a pending defense bill. But Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner (R-Va.) wrote in a letter to Frist on Monday that he has "firmly opposed putting any (unrelated) bills in the conference report." The bill's proponents are still working to add the gambling bill to different pending legislation. "I wouldn't pronounce it dead yet," a senior Democratic aide told Reuters.
