Rep. Charles Gonzalez, D-Texas, the task force's chairman, said its three members _ two Democrats and a Republican _ will meet within two weeks to decide how to continue. He described Tuesday's private meeting with lawyers from both sides as a background briefing.

A Florida judge rejected a similar request and a higher court has been considering an appeal for months.<snip>
