The Approps Drop
The week of June 1 marked forward progress in the House and a lack of progress in the Senate. The House passed the Interior and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) bills out of full committee and unveiled its Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies (LHHS) and Homeland Security (DHS) bills for subcommittee markup. We will see reports for those bills released on June 8 and June 9 respectively. The House also considered its second appropriations bill on the floor. The Agriculture/Food and Drug Administration (FDA) bill passed by a vote of 213-210, with just four Democrats voting for the measure. Not nearly as bipartisan as MilConVA.
