The coming week...

As usual, all info gathered from the websites of the relevent political bodies/agencies, and subject to change without notice...


...In Congress, it will be a rather brief week due to the President's State of the Union address on Wednesday.

Possibly controversial items on the House's scheduled agenda -

- An as-yet-unnumbered bill titled "Emergency Aid to American Survivors of the Haiti Earthquake Act" from Rep. Charlie Rangel

- An as-yet-unnumbered bill regarding "additional temporary extension of programs under the Small Business Act and the Small Business Investment Act of 1958" from Rep. Nydia Velazquez

There won't be any business conducted in the House on Thursday and Friday so that the House Republicans may meet in an issues conference.

Over in the Senate, they'll be attending the State of the Union address with the members of the House, but before and after that, they'll be conducting business. Their committee schedule is here. There doesn't seem to be anything of specific interest to Arizona this week, though something could crop up.
