The prospects were even more vague in the Senate. Sen. Edward Kennedy held a one-da-y hearing on the matter Thursday and indicated he also wanted to take testimony from the insurance companies. But the Senate does not recess until Thursday, so it was still possible something could emerge on that side of the Capitol next week. "It will be tight, but I think it can be done," said Rep. Paul "I think it's Rogers, possible. At least we're going to try." Even if only one house enacted the bill before the recess, Rogers said, it would give the drug companies "assurance" that Congress intended to settle the matter, and might prompt the one remaining firm of the four which still has not resumed production to do so. The drug companies have been told by the insurance companies that they cannot be covered on the swine flu vaccine because the legal climate in the country has changed so much that there may be thousands of suits, many baseless and of a nuisance variety. k trouble.

The explanation was given in a House subcommittee under oath by Steven S. Oriel of the U S. Geological Survey in denying the memorandum was weakened under pressure from the geologists' superiors in the Interior Department. "we wanted to appear like a group of scientists rather than a bunch of nuts," Oriel said in testimony before a House government operations subcommittee.
