Frist Says Congress May Revive Intelligence Overhaul Bill
Nov. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Congress may try before the end of the year to revive a bill to overhaul the nation's intelligence services that was stalled by objections from Republicans in the U.S. House.

First supported the legislation to reorganize intelligence agencies under a single director when it was voted on in the Senate, though he said on CBS's ``Face the Nation'' that the version being negotiated yesterday by lawmakers was ``not ready.'' House Republicans were right to stop it, he said.

``We're not going to just jam it through tomorrow,'' Frist, a Tennessee Republican, said. ``We've got to get it right. That's what the American people deserve.''

The legislation is intended reorganize intelligence agencies as recommended by the independent commission that investigated the failure of U.S. spy agencies to detect plotting for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that killed almost 3,000 people. President George W. Bush endorsed the commission's findings.
