Senate Won’t Leave Until House Approves Bailout

The Senate on Thursday hurtled through a wrap-up session, with no roll-call votes occurring as expected, but the chamber won’t be informally recessing until after a successful House vote on a $700 billion financial rescue plan, senior Democratic aides said, and members who have already left town are still “on call.”

The Senate’s wrap-up is likely to end either late tonight or early Friday.
