Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today that Democrats would pursue a "simple
majority" strategy and her chief of staff reinforced that point telling
supporters during a conference call that reconciliation is a legitimate
legislative process, dismissing criticism of the move as a "non-issue,"
according to the notes of several participants.
If Democrats can agree on a reconciliation package, John Lawrence
said, House leaders are "reasonably confident" they can pass it.
"Bottomline is we are moving forward ... expeditiously," he said.
