NASA Authorization Bill on House To-Do List
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) included the NASA authorization bill on his list of legislation the House plans to consider before it breaks for the mid-term elections according to news reports.
ABC News called Hoyer’s list “ambitious.” It also includes the Child Nutrition Bill and the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act — not to mention a Continuing Resolution to keep the government operating past September 30 when fiscal year 2010 ends. None of the FY2011 appropriations bills has passed Congress yet. Congress Daily (subscription required) added that an extension of Bush-era tax cuts also may come up.
Speculation is growing that both the House and Senate will adjourn at the end of next week rather than October 8 as earlier expected. Hoyer denied rumors that the House might go home at the end of this week.
