President Bush will probably issue his first veto if the Senate approves a bill to expand federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research, White House aide Karl Rove told a newspaper's editorial board.
"The president is emphatic about this," Rove said in the meeting Monday, according to a story posted on the Denver Post's Web site.
The House has already passed the stem cell legislation, co-sponsored by Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., and Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del.
Rove said he believes the legislation will pass the Senate with more than 60 votes sometime this month - "and as a result the president would, as he has previously said emphatically, veto the Castle bill."
