...factions jockeyed to have their proposals included in whatever new bill is negotiated - many boasting that they (unlike their leaders) can deliver the necessary votes if their ideas are adopted. Jeb Hensarling, chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group of fiscal conservatives in the House, sent a letter to the group's 100-plus members advocating their involvement in a solution. "House conservatives have authored many alternatives that would work if only the Administration and the Democrat majority are willing to meet us halfway," Hensarling wrote.
