http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/09/national/09AMBE.html WSHINGTON, April 8 — House and Senate negotiators compromised today on a bill to create an "Amber alert" child kidnapping warning system, but lawmakers said some anticrime provisions in the measure could derail it in the Senate.
"I don't know if it can pass," Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said after a contentious conference meeting.
Concern centers on provisions that critics said would upset the balance in the 20-year-old system of federal sentencing guidelines.
