The Rundown, 9/23

With the U.N. still convened in New York, it's still meetings galore for President Obama. Today he'll attend the session along with Hillary Clinton and meet with Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, as well as Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Discussion topics with the latter will probably include sanctions on Iran and the nuclear arms agreement being sought by December. Expect the two to slap each other on the backs with glee over Obama's decision to cancel missile-shield plans...or not.

Timothy Geithner will testify before the House Financial Services Committee on financial regulatory reform, as he is wont to do.

The marathon markup of Chairman Max Baucus's health reform bill continues in the Senate Finance Committee...they're expected to get through all 564 amendments and finally, at long last, health care might actually come up for a floor debate in the Senate sometime next week.

And we'll get some proof that Democrats and Republicans can agree, as Reps. Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Ron Klein (D-FL) will hold a press conference in the Cannon House Office Building on the crackdowns on demonstrators in Iran. Too bad it takes gross human rights violations to bring the parties together.
