John McCain's campaign is welcoming news of an agreement in principle between congressional Republicans and Democrats on a bailout of the financial industry.
But the Republican isn't yet ready to say he will attend the presidential candidates' first scheduled debate on Friday.
McCain spokesman Brian Rogers says: "There's no deal until there's a deal."
He says McCain is optimistic an agreement between Congress and the Bush administration will be completed but that the afternoon developments had not changed his plans not to debate.
