Major Floor Action:

• HR 2608 – Continuing Appropriations Act

Senate Cloakroom:  September 26 – September 30

Analysis: The Senate was also scheduled to be in recess this week, but will return to continue work on the Continuing Resolution.  The Senate will vote to take up the Continuing Resolution, as amended by Senator Reid (D-NV), late Monday afternoon.  Senator Reid removed the offsets for disaster funding which were placed in the bill by the House.
