The Senate is expected to turn to an FY 2012 appropriations package. Specifically, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is combining the FY 2012 Agriculture, Commerce-Justice-Science (S 1572) and Transportation-Housing and Urban Development (S 1596) appropriations bills into a single bill (HR 2112), with the goal of completing action on the “minibus” by the end of this week.
The House is in recess this week.
