Subpoenas force talks for testimony deal
By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON -
A Senate Republican offered President Bush a compromise Thursday in
the standoff over the dismissals of federal prosecutors, suggesting
that select lawmakers question Karl Rove and other administration
officials in public, but not under oath.
White House counsel Fred Fielding promised to convey the offer to
Bush, said Sen. Arlen Specter, who took the first step toward
brokering a deal a few hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee
approved but did not issue subpoenas for Rove and others.
Specter's plan would grant one of Bush's key demands
