This week the House is in town, back from their extended 4th
of July holiday. The Senate is taking their ‘week’ off this week and will only
be meeting in pro forma sessions. Currently there is only one hearing of
interest scheduled for this week; a Rules Committee hearing on the 2017 NDAA.
Hearing
The Rules Committee will be meeting on Wednesday to prepare
their rule for the consideration of S 2943, the FY 2017 National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA). The House already
passed their version of the bill (HR 4909) which has some important differences
from the Senate bill.
It is too early to tell if the House is just going to substitute
the HR 4909 language or actually amend the Senate bill. That should be more
obvious as we get closer to the hearing.
On the Floor
The House will take up S 2943 sometime later this week. They
will also be considering HR 4361, a federal information security bill; not one
that I have been following.
