Capital Briefs: House Panel Postpones Action on Leach Bill

The House Banking Committee's vote on Rep. Jim Leach's new Glass-Steagall repeal bill has been rescheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday.

Last week Republican leaders told Rep. Leach the committee must approve new insurance provisions before the bill could be brought to the House floor.
