The measure seeks to require coal companies to finance land restoration, while rancher veto rights and job-cost concerns fuel lobbying. Also covered is a Senate effort expanding federal student aid and work study to aid middle and low income families, with emphasis on real cost of tuition and room and board. Cliff notes urge speed before adjournment to avoid a pocket veto as Congress plans to adjourn Oct 2.
