Week of April 30

Monday, April 30, 2007

The FY 2008 budget resolution continues to move through the legislative process. In March, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives each passed their own versions of the resolution. Now, the differences in the two bills must be ironed out by a conference committee made up of a small group of Representatives and Senators.

Democratic and Republican leaders in the House will appoint House members to the conference committee this week and the Senate will soon follow. The final conference agreement is expected to be voted on the week of May 14th.
