Congress Wounds Up Fifteen Days of Work
Washington Dec 21 Congress closed the first fifteen days of its long session for Christmas with a tax cut bill advancing and other major measures in progress. The Senate will reopen Jan 4 to take up the tax bill while the House pursues flood relief. A $289 million tax reduction, a $100 million public buildings bill, and a $50 million alien property bill are moving through respective chambers. The Senate already passed the House deficiency appropriation and barred two Republican senators from oath, while probes into forged Mexican state papers and the so called power combine are stalled in the Senate.
