The Women of the 113th Congress






DIANE SAWYER WITH 19 SENATORS AND SENATORS-ELECT: The 113th Congress, to be sworn in Jan. 3, will have a record number of female senators. 'ABC World News' anchor Diane Sawyer gathered 19 of the 20 (Sen.-elect Heidi Heitkamp of N.D. had a last-minute conflict) yesterday for a conversation in Kennedy Caucus Room. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine): 'I think if we were in charge of the Senate and of the administration, that we would have a budget deal by now. And what I find is, with all due deference to our male colleagues, that women's styles tend to be more collaborative." Airs Jan. 3 on 'World News" and "Nightline."
