Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said the bill would go to the House for a possible vote tomorrow and asked lawmakers in that chamber not to alter the Senate bill.
``Don't send us back something else,'' Reid said in comments on the Senate floor today addressed to the House. ``It will not pass. If they try to mess with our package, it will die.''
Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat who sponsored the measure, said he expected the House would tweak the bill, but that it would be ``window dressing'' and he said the bill will go to President George W. Bush for his signature.
