...Daschle seized on the document as reason to appoint an independent commission to examine intelligence failures prior to Sept. 11, an idea the White House intensely opposes. Daschle says he will bring a bill to the floor of the Senate next week, when Congress returns from recess. The chairmen of the joint panel of the House and Senate Intelligence committees, which is investigating the attacks, said they will begin hearings next week. As the inquiry moves forward, Rowley is likely to become a star witness. Last week Iowa Republican Charles Grassley offered Rowley written assurance that...
Your piece on Miramax and its co-chairmen, Harvey and Bob Weinstein [SHOW BUSINESS, April 8], asked, "Has Harvey Lost His Way?" Many relevant facts suggest otherwise. Wouldn't you consider Harvey to be "back on track" after acquiring the Sundance hit and Best Picture Oscar nominee In the Bedroom for $1.5 million and seeing it gross more than $35 million domestically?

But Democratic and Republican leadership sources say that Daschle is having more problems in convincing his caucus to agree to a new super committee. The reason: Daschle's Democratic chairmen just got their chairs as a result of last spring's legislative coup. They're in no mood to give up jurisdiction this early...
...other political hot potato is who will serve on this new committee. Daschle and Lott are under growing pressure from their caucuses to appoint the chairmen and ranking minority members from the affected committees to be members of the new committee. That would lead to deadlock, Republican and Democratic leaders privately agree. "You'd end up having chairmen with their ego problems trying to deal with each other," says a GOP senator. Lott would rather pick other members for the panel who have some expertise in the subject...
