The White House whips Frist into line. Majority Leader commits to a phase-out bill this year, after having said the opposite only two days ago.

CQ provides Frist’s feeble denial that he was manhandled by the White House: “I haven’t talked to anybody … I said it could be a month or a year. From that, everybody was saying it’s going to be more than a year. I wanted to make it clear I’m going to be aggressive with it and it will be coming up this year.”
