House Debates Budget Catchup And Fuel Policy Bill
The House plans a vote on alternative fuels and low sulfur diesel while the Senate considers non binding Iraq escalation disapproval. House budget catchup shows 256 to 140 passage for 463.5 billion in 2007 appropriations including veterans housing Pell Grants NIH NSF and FBI funding with pay raise but minus proposed House staff increase. A GOP bid to cut earmarks failed 196 to 228 as Republicans wanted to redirect 600 million to military housing and meth treatment.

Senate votes for minimum wage rise and tax breaks plan
The Senate approved HR 2 by 94 to 3 to raise the federal minimum wage from 5.15 to 7.25 over 26 months, funded by 8.3 billion in tax breaks for small businesses. Opponents argue the plan shifts burdens and lacks fair costs for corporations. Senator Kennedy and others criticize broad corporate breaks while supporting wage increases. The measure moves to conference with the House for final details.
