On Thursday the Senate officially began the consideration of
S 1243, the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2014. No action was taken beyond the Clerk’s reading of the
title of the bill in and the first cloture motion being submitted. Actual action
will begin next week with the vote on the cloture motion to close debate on
proceeding to consider the bill on Tuesday.
No amendments to S 1243 were filed on Thursday or Friday
(only a pro forma session Friday so nothing could be filed then in any case. I
expect that we will start to see the amendment process crank up on Tuesday.
BTW: The House is not currently scheduled to take up HR 2610,
the House version of the bill, according to the Majority Leader’s web site, but
that may change as the Rules
Committee is scheduled to take up the bill on Monday evening. More on that in my weekly congressional hearing post.
