WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) – A veteran Republican in the
U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday predicted that
Congress and President Barack Obama would strike a deal on both
raising the debt limit temporarily and ending a 10-day old
government shutdown.
In an interview with Reuters, Representative Tom Cole of
Oklahoma, who is close to House Speaker John Boehner, said there
would be a “negotiated settlement” to end the current fiscal
crisis and the government could reopen as soon as next week.
