WASHINGTON - Lawmakers say they're making progress and hope to reach an agreement over the weekend on a $700 billion government bailout to rescue Wall Street bankers from the bad loans that threaten to derail the economy and send it into a deep and long depression. In a sign of movement, House Republicans dispatched their second-ranking leader, Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, to join the talks after their objections to an emerging compromise had brought negotiations to a standstill. Negotiators were pushing for a deal before Asian markets open Monday. "I'm convinced that by Sunday we will have an agreement that people can understand on this bill," said Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, a key Democrat in eight days of up-and-down talks designed to stave off an economic disaster. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi added that "progress is being made," although Friday came and went without senior lawmakers from both parties sitting down together. Talks were to resume Saturday.
