WASHINGTON - House Democrats were working Thursday to avert a showdown with President Barack Obama and the CIA over whom in Congress should receive sensitive information on the agency's covert activities.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, was negotiating with Obama administration officials over a measure that would expand the number of lawmakers who receive briefings on CIA activities from the eight leading members of Congress to all members of the House and Senate intelligence committees.
