The Senate continues piecing through a package of energy measures (S 1419), this week debating amendments on how high to hike minimum car mileage standards, whether or not to make 15% of electricity come from renewable energy by 2020 and if the feds should give loan guarantees for coal-to-liquid plants. Also slated to return to the floor - after a week of hard press politicking and negotiations - is the immigration reform bill that got derailed two weeks ago; senators plan on voting on 22 amendments before, some hope, bringing the bill to a final vote. Somehow, a bill, HR 800, that'd make it easier for unions to form could also squeeze into the Senate's agenda this week.
The House continues its drive to clean up all its budget bills by Independence Day, this week possibly voting on Energy & Water, Legislative Branch and State-Foreign Operations spending bills. Citizen Joe
