That Didn't Take Long

I don't know how long it usually takes conference committees to do their work, but this seems fast.

An agreement has been reached which further whittles down the cost of the package.

The members of the conference committee were:

Inouye, Baucus, Reid, Cochran, and Grassley from the Senate and Obey, Rangel, Waxman, Lewis (CA), and Camp from the House.

We will start to pick apart the specific provisions soon. This link from the NYT should be helpful.
