Congress Wades Into Web Gambling Controversy

Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., said he hopes that a Wednesday hearing before the House Financial Services Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade and Technology Subcommittee - which he chairs -- will clarify regulations under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act before those rules become final.
