WASHINGTON — The Obama administration signaled on April 14 that it could live with compromise legislation giving Congress a say in its negotiations with Iran, paving the way for a floor vote within weeks.
The green light from the White House came after Democrats and Republicans worked out a compromise that would shorten the period for the review and weaken language linking sanctions relief to Iran's rejection of terrorism. President Barack Obama had promised to veto the bill without those changes, arguing that it could derail any chance of reaching a final agreement by this summer.
