tAs the final bill is negotiated и to talk past each other media.

[Sky78]

Подскажите, пожалуйста как можно перевести эти фразы в следующем контексте:
As the final bill is negotiated, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Reid plan to meet with President Bush at the White House on Wednesday. They are expected to talk past each other, with Bush refusing to negotiate a timetable and Democrats insisting on one.
Заранее огромное спасибо!
