In other news from Washington, the Senate has delayed a vote on a controversial measure to rewrite the nation’s surveillance laws and grant immunity to phone companies involved in President Bush’s secret domestic spy program. The legislation gives the government new powers to eavesdrop on both domestic and international communications. The Democratic-controlled House approved its version of the bill last week. But on Thursday, Senate Democrats said they would delay debate following objections from Democratic Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin. Democrats say they’ll take up the measure when senators return from recess in July.
