Hunter: White House Backs Sensenbrenner
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., said Tuesday that the White House promised to support driver's license reform legislation sponsored by House Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner, R-Wisc., as part of a deal to pass the Intelligence Reform Bill.
"The reason [House Speaker] Denny Hastert has kept this team together, this Republican majority, for so long is because he keeps his word," Hunter told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

"He's very trustworthy," added Hunter. "And he's got the word of the White House and the president and we're going to do it in about two months."
Hunter said that the Republican leadership has assured Rep. Sensenbrenner that "we would get this up on a bill that had to pass the Congress as early as possible. The White House is on board to get this driver's license fix in place."
Hunter blamed "the Senate leadership" for obstructing the driver's license reform, which would ban illegal immigrants from obtaining the key identification document.
"I think they had a number of fairly liberal members on the [Senate] conference who banned the driver's license fix," Hunter said, without naming names.
