CJS Appropriations May Be Taken Up by the Senate Early In September; DOD May Have to Wait
Congress Daily (subscription required) reports that the Senate is likely to focus on appropriations bills when it returns from its August recess on September 8 since health care legislation is not likely to be ready for floor action. According to the report, first up will be either the Commerce, Justice, Science appropriations bill that includes NASA, or Interior-Environment. The Department of Defense (DOD) appropriations bill is not likely to pass by the first of October when the new fiscal year begins, according to the report. The House passed all 12 appropriations bills before it left for recess. The Senate has passed four (Homeland Security, Legislative Branch, Energy and Water, and Agriculture).
