 would probably be eligible.The issue has generated 
an intense advocacy campaign, with gay rights organizations and Hispanic 
groups such as the National Council of La Raza squaring off with 
religious interests such as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which 
sent a letter to Obama telling him including the provision could jeopardize 
the whole bill.At the Human Rights Campaign, four of its seven federal 
lobbyists are engaged in pushing lawmakers to back such an amendment. Immigration 
Equality, another group supporting the provision, said it was bringing more 
than 60 families from 24 states to the Capitol on Wednesday to 
ask lawmakers to offer their support.And Log Cabin Republicans, a gay conservative 
group, is making a pro-business pitch with potential GOP supporters, arguing 
that including gay couples would allow U.S. companies to retain the best 
talent instead of forcing good workers to leave the U.S. to be 
with their partners.Such may be the case for Paul Coyle, a 45-year-old 
partner in a Chicago law firm, who has spent the past 10 
years in a long-distance relationship with his partner in Toronto. At first, 
the two men would take turns flying back and forth, he said, 
until immigration officials cracked down, making it harder for his partner 
to enter the U.S. Now Coyle flies to Canada every other week, 
wondering each time whether it would be cheaper and more rewarding to 
pack up his law practice and move to Canada."It's emotiona
The U.S. and South Korea are extending for two years their current 
civilian nuclear agreement and postponing a contentious decision on whether 
Seoul will be allowed to reprocess spent fuel as it seeks to 
expand its atomic energy industry.Wednesday's announcement is a setback 
to South Korea's new leader, Park Geun-hye, who had made revision of 
the 39-year-old treaty one of her top election pledges, but it alleviates 
a potential disagreement between the allies when Park visits Washington 
in two weeks to meet with President Obama.State Department spokesman Patrick 
Ventrell said the extension will provide more time for the two governments 
to complete the complex negotiations on a successor agreement that will 
recommence in June."These are very technical talks, and both parties felt 
that we needed more time," he told reporters.South Korea is the world's 
fifth-largest nuclear energy producer and is planning to expand domestic 
use of nuclear power and exports of nuclear reactors. But its radioactive 
waste storage is filling up, so it wants to be able to 
reprocess spent plutonium. It also wants to be able enrich uranium, a 
process that uranium must undergo to become a viable nuclear fuel. Currently, 
South Korea has to get countries such as the U.S. and France 
to do enrichment for it.Revising the agreement is a sensitive matter as 
the same technologies can also be used to develop nuclear weapons. Washington 
has historically opposed allowing repr
