Republicans will try for quick action on a measure to end asbestos suits in exchange for a trust fund, incoming Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter said Tuesday.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist also said he plans to push legislation to curb class actions, with the aim of "restoring sanity ... to our legal system."
