Senate Poised to Pass DOD Appropriations Bill Tomorrow, Weather Permitting
The Senate is scheduled to be in session this weekend, too, as it tries to complete work on the health care reform bill and other measures before Christmas. It will be a White Christmas in Washington, too! Senators will have to battle a major winter snowstorm to get to Capitol Hill tomorrow morning for a scheduled vote on the final version of the FY2010 Department of Defense appropriations bill (H.R. 3326). If they make it, they may be stuck there for a while. The current forecast is for 10-15 inches in the immediate Washington area, and up to 20 inches in some locations. For Washington, that is a HUGE snowstorm, especially for December. For most of us, it’s great that it’s a weekend and we don’t have to worry about commuting to work. Not so for the Senators and their staffs, unfortunately. Whether the weather will make them more or less amenable to agreement remains to be seen.
