...were told that the Republicans were not going to attend, and the concept behind the orientation is to have a bipartisan discussion of issues, so we weren't interested in doing it for just one party's freshmen," said IOP Deputy Director Catherine A. McLaughlin...
...effects of marriage breakdowns on women and children have sparked the current bipartisan movement to shore up the institution of marriage and put the fault back in divorce. Two weeks ago, at a conference in Aspen, Colorado, Republican virtuecrat Bill Bennett spoke at a seminar of investors and media executives about the social scourge of divorce.

The decision came earlier this week, as the bipartisan committee declared that Perot did not have a "realistic" chance of being elected president.
