An earmark moratorium?

A source writes with news from the GOP House leadership indicating the “announce[ment of] an official policy for willingness for a one-year moratorium on earmarks; it will not be a unilateral disarmament, we are forcing the spotlight on the Democrats — we are ready and willing, so where do the Democrats really stand?” He adds:

The Democrats have until the end of their retreat next week to reply — or we will apply more pressure. The pressure is on and it is only beginning.
