U.S. Rep. Frank eyes repeal of online gambling ban

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Rep. Barney Frank is considering a bill to repeal a ban imposed last year on online gambling, said a spokesman for the lawmaker on Wednesday.

"Chairman Frank is considering legislation," said Steven Adamske, spokesman for the Massachusetts Democrat, who chairs the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee.

Adamske said Frank is still thinking over the issue, has not drafted a bill and has no timetable for action.
