| | CNN.com - Stem cell battle not over say some in Congress - August 10, 2001 |
 | | Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania, said he still intends to push for a vote on a bill he introduced that would allow federal funding for research using stem cells derived from frozen embryos at fertility clinics that would otherwise be discarded. |
 | | On the House side, Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colorado, a co-sponsor of a bill that would allow broader federal funding for the research, said she planned to consult with scientists to determine the impact of Bush's limits on funding. |
 | | In another sign the political battle is far from over, Bush aides fanned out Friday, giving TV and radio interviews and making telephone calls around the country to assess the potential fallout -- and to explain the decision to disgruntled conservative supporters. |
