As part of the House adjournment resolution, by the congress must agree to the Senate's HABEAS CORPUS bill to save Terri.
From a reliable source:
The House (Federal) has left for the night, but they have not adjourned for recess, as was originally thought. There must be a resolution tomorrow morning, first thing to adjourn.
House leaders, listed below, can make a condition of adjournment the approval of the Incapacitated Persons Legal Protection Act (Habeas Corpus) a requirement.
I know as little about these things as anyone possibly could, but I've been directed to ask you that you please flood the following with emails, phone calls or faxes to insist on these conditions prior to the House adjournment.
Remember, both chambers have already approved, in some form, the Incapacitated Persons Legal Protection Act. This is a very small step for them to finalize the measure before they recess and there is no time left for our representatives to squander. Please make contact and encourage others to.

Update:
The measure could still pass and be signed by President Bush today (Friday) if senators gave way and passed the House version, or if House leaders agreed to pass the Senate bill by unanimous consent without a vote, since most congressmen have already left town. - more
