Both the House and Senate are not in session today.

The Senate will reconvene at 3:00 P.M. on Monday, May 2, and will consider the Motion to invoke cloture on the nomination of Joshua Frost to be an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.  Prior to adjourning yesterday, the Senate agreed to the compound motion to go to conference on H.R.4521, USICA/America COMPETES, by a vote of 67-27.  The House passed the America COMPETES Act in February, sending it to the Senate. The Senate then took up the bill at the end of March, swapped its text with its own USICA legislation, then passed that version on March 29th. That set the stage for the official conference request from the House, starting a process that was first announced last November.  A total of 107 conferees – 26 Senators, evenly split among parties, and 81 Representatives, with 50 Democrats and 31 Republicans, were named before the Easter recess.

The House will be in recess next week and will reconvene at 6:30 P.M. on Tuesday, May 10th.
