What might this bipartisan bill look like? Both sides say it is all but certain that the Democrats will have to drop their deadlines for troop withdrawal. But there is likely to be significant Republican support for another idea that Bush opposes: imposing "benchmarks" on the Iraq government. Those benchmarks in the vetoed bill covered everything from disarming militias to sharing oil revenues across ethnic groups. "If they come to us with that," says a senior G.O.P. congressional aide, "we'll take it." Republicans are also likely to insist that Democrats jettison some of the extraneous spending in the bill...

...Students can make several big contributions to this movement. Members of Congress need to hear from their constituents in support of the Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA), a bipartisan bill to make taxpayer-funded published research—most scientific work in the U.S.—freely available.

...level that was never reached. Congress, however, let the cap fall back to 65,000 in 2003. Since then it has been reached progressively earlier each year as demand has increased—first in August, then in May, and now in early April. There is already bipartisan support for a measure that would push the cap on visas upward and create an automatic-adjustment system so that Congress is not several years behind in reacting to increased visa demand. But bickering and politicking over the comprehensive immigration package have left this important component dead. Congress must...
