In Congress, Aides Start to Map Talks on Stimulus

WASHINGTON — Congressional aides worked Sunday to identify differences between the House and Senate economic stimulus packages in advance of final negotiations scheduled to begin after the Senate’s anticipated approval of its measure on Tuesday.

With Congressional leaders hoping to deliver legislation to President Obama by next Monday, which is Presidents’ Day, staff workers for the appropriations and tax writing committees in both chambers were not waiting for the Senate to act before comparing the two measures. Formal talks will not begin before the Senate passes its $827 billion version of the plan; the House bill costs about $819 billion.

The Senate agreement on a scaled-down bill was reached on Friday when three Republicans signaled that they would back the legislation. Their support would give the Democratic majority the 60 votes needed to clear a procedural hurdle. But Congressional Democrats and the White House were still hoping to pick up more Republicans.
