Senate Could Debate CJS or DOD Appropriations Next Week
Congress Daily (subscription required) reports that either the Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS) or Department of Defense (DOD) appropriations bill could reach the Senate floor next week. CJS funds NASA and NOAA. (See our legislative checklist for more information on the bills.)
The newspaper quotes Senate Majority Leader Reid as expressing optimism that conference agreement could be reached on five of the 12 appropriations bills by the beginning of the new fiscal year on October 1. The House is expected to debate a short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) next week to keep agencies whose bills have not passed operating, according to Congress Daily.
