| Clock ticks for Congress over transport, student loans Posted: 23 Jun 2012 03:18 PM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With only a week to go until funding expires for federal highway construction and student loan rates soar, negotiators in Congress are working to cut a deal that would defuse two political time bombs ahead of the November general election. "All I can confirm is that work continues through the weekend, the goal being a final agreement that can get wrapped up next week," a House of Representatives Republican aide said on Saturday.
