Congress Returns to Heavy Legislative Agenda in Fall
Congress returns Wednesday from a monthlong recess to a busy schedule. Budget issues dominate as the Sept. 15 deadline looms for the fiscal year budget, while hearings on Budget Director Bert Lance unfold. Senate hearings on the Panama Canal treaties start with Ronald Reagan as a witness. Bills to finish four remaining appropriations, wage hikes, consumer protection, and ERDA energy projects face sharp partisan battles. The Panama talks prompt top lawmakers to press for Lance resignation amid investigations.
