The Senate and the White House will reach agreement on a proposal to ban the use of torture in gaining information from suspected terrorists, Majority Leader Bill Frist predicted on Sunday.

The ban's sponsor, Sen. John McCain, has said he would refuse to yield on his demands that the Bush administration agree with his plan, which passed the Senate by a 90-9 vote.``I think that there will be _ you say a deal,'' Frist told ``Fox News Sunday.''

``I think there will be clarification of what we mean. How aggressive can one be to get information _ not torture, but, you know, what does degrading mean? Do you not want to degrade a terrorist _ not hurt them, but degrade them _ if they're going to take out your family, if they're going to assassinate you? That's the question that's being worked out,'' said Frist, R-Tenn.
