		Some House Republicans are angry that they were not warned about a GOP-commissioned survey in which their constituents were polled on the issue of human embryonic stem cell research in an effort by other Republican lawmakers to boost support for federal legislation that would expand government funding for such research, the...
		The House legislation (HR 810), which is sponsored by Castle, would allow researchers to receive federal funding for the study of embryonic stem cells derived from embryos created for fertility treatments and willingly donated by patients.

	DeLay Loath to Doff His Leadership Hat
		Former House majority leader Tom DeLay's efforts to retain power despite his indictment have angered some rank-and-file Republicans, many of whom say his ethical problems and uncertain status are staining them and destabilizing GOP unity.
		And some House members say they are bracing for Democratic mailings to their constituents with the mug shots of DeLay, Libby and former White House procurement chief David Safavian.
		House Republican Vice Chairman Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) distributed a glossy "member profile" of DeLay last week, gushing about DeLay's role in foster parenting, his run-in with an errant quail hunter, his love of jazz and his affections for his bichons friss, Baily and Taylor, and his miniature dachshund, Scooter.

	GOP Pushes Rule Change to Protect DeLay's Post (washingtonpost.com)
		House Republicans proposed changing their rules last night to allow members indicted by state grand juries to remain in a leadership post, a move that would benefit Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) in case he is charged by a Texas grand jury that has indicted three of his political associates, according to GOP leaders.
		House Republicans adopted the indictment rule in 1993, when they were trying to end four decades of Democratic control of the House, in part by highlighting Democrats' ethical lapses.
		House Republicans recognize that DeLay fought fiercely to widen their majority, and they are eager to protect him from an Austin-based investigation they view as baseless and partisan, said Rep. Eric I. Cantor (Va.), the GOP's chief deputy whip.

	Speaker of the House (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In addition, the Speaker is empowered to make nominations directly for the Republican Conference's consideration for membership (including chairs) on the Rules Committee and the House Administration Committee, as well as the chair and one Member (to serve as the second ranking Republican) on the Budget Committee.
		The Speaker's role as leader of the majority party in the House is sometimes at odds with his role as presiding officer of the chamber.
		For example, they publicize their party's policies and achievements (by giving speeches, appearing on radio and television, holding press conferences, etc.); assist party members who are seeking reelection; and, when the majority in the House is not the same party as the President, they act as a spokesman for the loyal opposition.

		Republican centrists who had joined conservatives in their opposition to a budget resolution not linked to budget reform did not withstand pressure from GOP leaders to fall back into line.

		It also purports House passage of certain bills that have yet to be passed and speaks of the passage of yet others that, while laudable in purpose, represent unfunded mandates that will further tax already inadequate resources.
		We have had assurances from both the House Republican Leadership and House Democratic Leadership that they all stand with us with respect to properly providing for this nation’s defenders in their time of need.

		Watts, who, as the fourth-ranking House Republican, has otherwise marched lockstep with the administration, said the clash over the Crusader has not created a rift with the White House.
		The congressional delegation (codel) trip could be the last step, however, in Watts' efforts if the House defense appropriations bill is approved without the $475 million for the Crusader, which faces a critical test in both chambers this week.
