On the recordDecember 8, 2011
there will be at least two rollcall votes at 5:30 p.m. on Monday in relation to the Eisen and Aponte nominations. Next week, we have additional nominations we expect to consider, and we have to do either a CR or an omnibus spending bill--or one of each, which is possible. We have the balanced budget amendments, the payroll tax, we have unemployment insurance, Medicare reimbursement, tax extenders, including the Medicare reimbursement, and, of course, what we are talking about there is the SGR or the doctor fix. All of these matters are set to expire at the end of the year. ____________________
