From the article:

A group of conservative Republicans has opened talks with the leading Democratic proponent of a bill to allow for the reimportation of prescription drugs from Canada and other countries.

Republican freshman Senators David Vitter and John Thune are backing a reimportation bill that is identical to a House bill by Rep. Gil Gutknecht. The senators have been meeting with Sen. Byron Dorgan, who last year tried to force consideration of the issue by holding up the nomination of Mark McClellan to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
