GOP offers Sept 11 Bush photo to donors
The White House did not object to Republicans using a photo of Bush on Air Force One calling Cheney on Sept. 11 to solicit donors. The plan offers the picture to contributors of 150 dollars or more at a joint fundraising dinner. Democrats dubbed the tactic grotesque as Bush seeks a record fund raise.

Senate keeps critical trade bill amendment alive
The Senate voted 61 to 38 to reject tabling an amendment by Sens. Craig and Dayton that would let Congress delete parts of trade deals affecting US laws. The move preserves fast track authority debates as White House officials push to protect negotiating power over new WTO topics. Commerce Secretary Evans urged a presidential veto if the amendment remains.

Treasury shifts retirement funds to dodge debt default
Washington reports that the Bush administration will move billions from civil service and government securities retirement funds into non interest bearing accounts this week to free borrowing room and avert a default on the 5.95 trillion national debt. Officials say no harm to retirees and any lost interest will be offset later. The plan comes as Congress debates raising the debt limit by 750 billion amid lower tax receipts and looming June interest payments.
