15 Day Extension on FISA

It’s being reported in the comments that Hoyer announced on CSPAN1 that a 15 day extension on the Protect America Act has been agreed upon by the House, Senate and Bush:

The House is done dealing with FISA for now. It took up a bill providing a 30 day extension (HR 5104), amened the extension from 30 days to 15 days, debated it briefly, then passed with a 2/3rds majority (waiving all rules requires a supermajority of this size) on a voice vote – no roll call.

Announcement of passage will occur in the Senate forthwith.
