WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shut the door Thursday to a resolution honoring Michael Jackson because debate on the symbolic measure could raise "contrary views" about the pop star's life.
Lawmakers
are free to use House speeches "to express their sympathy or their
praise any time that they wish," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "I don't think
it's necessary for us to have a resolution."
