[Rose Siding]

First lady Laura Bush will meet with several moderate House Republicans to talk about the future of the No Child Left Behind law, according to two members who will attend the meeting today.

Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) says the first lady requested the meeting last week with the members to talk about the program, which is up for reauthorization in the next few months. Congress will begin work in June.

Castle spokeswoman Kaitlin Hoffman said the conversation between members, Laura Bush and Education Secretary Margaret Spelling will cover “the goals and ideas for the reauthorization of the act.”.....

This is the second time this session the White House has met with members regarding the measure, according to McKeon. The first meeting was held on Jan. 8, the anniversary of the signing of the act.
Committee Chairman George Miller (D-Calif.) said he had no knowledge of the White House meeting.
