Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)

(Washington-AP) -- The Senate voted Wednesday to create three institutes to study wildfire prevention and rehabilitation techniques in the aftermath of a fire season that burned more than 7 million acres.

The plan is sponsored by Arizona Senator Jon Kyl and Colorado Senators Wayne Allard and Ben Nighthorse Campbell, but still needs approval from the U.S. House.
President Bush and congressional Republicans had fought for a plan that would make it easier to log excess trees by removing some environmental hurdles, but those efforts bogged down in partisan gridlock.
