SENATE OKS EMBATTLED FAMILY LEAVE

A bill requiring employers to give workers up to three months of unpaid leave in family emergencies won Senate approval Thursday evening and was sent to the White House, where President Bush has threatened a veto.

Passed just three days before Father's Day, the bill is the same one passed by the House just before Mother's Day in the face of the veto threat.

The House voted 237-187 to approve the bill, which was 46 votes short of the two-thirds that would be needed to override a presidential veto.
