The House will keep the wheels turning on Monday and Tuesday with another full plate of suspensions. That usually ticks people off, when they know there are so many important issues they'd rather see the House spending its time on. And normally, I'm able to point them to committee activity and explain that this is what the House occupies its time with when Members are traveling back and forth from their districts, or busy in committee with all that "real" stuff everyone wants them to be working on. But you may also notice that the committee schedules are a little on the light side, too. That's because the real action will be in an all-day meeting of the House Democratic Caucus on Monday, meant to air out all the issues they can on the health care reform bill, go through it section by section, answer Members' questions and concerns the best they can, and try to see if they can work things out such that they can move forward with the markup in the Energy & Commerce Committee and even possibly get to a floor vote at the end of the week -- which may mean over the actual weekend. The odds are on the slim side for a floor vote, to be sure. But they're getting better for at least moving ahead with the markup.
On the floor for sure later in the week are a few bills likely to spark at least some fireworks. The Defense appropriations bill, like all the approps bills this year, will undoubtedly draw Republican protest over restrictions on amendments. And as an added bonus, probably another resolution from Jeff Flake (R-AZ-06), targeting the PMA lobbying scandal, and indirectly (but not very indirectly) the Defense subcommittee chairman, Jack Murtha (D-PA-12).
On the Senate side, there's actually nothing penciled in on the calendar. The Senate did finally finish with the Department of Defense authorization bill that had occupied them for the past two weeks or so. I would anticipate that they'd be moving on to appropriations bills ASAP. The much-anticipated Finance Committee markup of the Senate version of the health care bill is not firmly on anyone's radar just yet, and the prospects for a Senate vote before the recess are virtually nil.
Full committee schedule appears below.
