Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly (CQ $) met with key House Democrats and members of the Out of Iraq Caucus Tuesday to discuss reconciling differences regarding Iraq troop withdrawal language in the House and Senate supplemental bills. According to a Democratic aide briefed after the meeting, "The [conference] committee will likely keep the [waivable House] readiness components but take the [non-binding] Senate language on goals" for a withdrawal date. We speculated here that the post-veto conference committee "may yet emerge with the Senate's non-binding troop withdrawal language," but also noted: Given close votes in both the House (218-212) and Senate (51-47), any significant changes in the conference report could reduce vital Democratic support that would likely be needed to pass a final version of the bill.
