Republican foes of the campaign finance reform bill on Tuesday said they wouldn't try to block its immediate passage in the Senate.

GOP leaders said they would try to make minor changes and didn't rule out the possibility of a filibuster. But they said they expected the bill to be placed before President Bush's signature this year.

The bill outlaws "soft money" donations, which are currently unregulated.
