September 7, 2008 Ted Kennedy aims at January return to Capitol Hill

WASHINTON (AP) - Sen. Edward Kennedy will not be on Capitol Hill
this week when Congress returns from its summer break. But the
Massachusetts senator, who has brain cancer, does plan to return in
January.

A Kennedy aide said Sunday that Kennedy's doctors are pleased
with his progress, but want him to continue to work from home
through the fall.

The 76-year-old Kennedy made a dramatic speech last month at the
Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor after he had
a seizure in May. He has had surgery and a six-week course of
chemotherapy and radiation. He has been working from his home in
Hyannis Port, Mass.
