The conferees

From The Washington Post

The likely list of appointees, according to congressional aides and industry lobbyists, is expected to consist of lawmakers from the Senate banking and Agriculture committees, chaired respectively by Democrats Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.) and Blanche Lincoln (Ark.).

Other conferees were expected to be Democrats Tim Johnson (S.D.), Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.), Tom Harkin (Iowa), Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.) and Jack Reed (R.I.); and Republicans Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), Judd Gregg (N.H.), Bob Corker (Tenn.), Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) and Mike Crapo (Idaho), though the list was not yet finalized.

House conferees will be appointed when the House gets back from the Memorial Weekend recess.
