House Joins Senate on Fourth of July Recess

What’s happening in Congress?

• It will be a quiet week in the Capitol as the House joined the Senate on recess for the Fourth of July break on Friday.
• When Congress returns later this month, it will likely resume the two-track push for infrastructure legislation that features a bipartisan package and Democrats’ reconciliation bill. It may also take up legislation to raise the debt limit.

• Senators are scheduled to return to the Capitol for floor work on Monday, July 12th, when they are expected to resume consideration of a pair of nominees tapped for positions within the State Dept. and the Labor Dept. 
• No committees will hold hearings this week.

HOUSE SCHEDULE 

• The House began its Fourth of July recess on Thursday, July 1st.
