The House is in recess this week, leaving the Senate to begin tackling appropriations. During the week their plan is to focus on a small packing of departments they believe they can find consensus on. Senate HELP is holding a subcommittee hearing on the effects of the recession on older Americans, as well as marking up an overhaul to EASA—the Elementary and Secondary Education Act which has been known as “No Child Left Behind” in recent years.
