Vote on US asbestos bill seen in early '06-Specter

It seems the other business in DC: the Mier's confirmation, Katrina relief and all those spending bills, has delayed the trust fund bill until next year. I guess this means I kind of win my bet with some of the other asbestos counsel when I predicted we'd still be in business a year after the 2004 presidential elections. If any of them moved to New Zealand like they said they would, I won't be able to collect.
