Senator Byrd meets with Secretary of Education
Senator Robert C. Byrd is continuing his outreach to the new Cabinet officials by meeting with Arne Duncan, the Secretary of Education Monday.
While aides said that no senior Democratic senator is publicly talking about life in the Senate after Byrd, there are senior-level discussions among top aides over who would replace Byrd if he were to leave the Senate and how that would shake up current committee chairmanships.
