The Senate in a 63 to 31 vote rejected an amendment by Sen. Arlen Specter to require prior congressional approval for a U.S. invasion of Haiti except in emergencies posing direct danger to U.S. citizens abroad. The measure would have blocked military action without Congress’s consent.

Senate probes Blue Cross Blue Shield spending and oversight
Senate investigators released a two year report criticizing Blue Cross Blue Shield Association for extravagant conferences at resorts and high executive pay while government monitors failed to curb costs. They cited backlogs of claims, poor service in federal programs, and widespread costs shifted across layers with little accountability. The government pays over 1.5 billion annually in administrative costs. Bernard Tresnowski’s 866000 salary drew 274089 from public funds last year. The association defends the findings as misinterpretations of the report.
