The Senate and House are in recess for the Thanksgiving break and will return Dec. 4 and 5 respectively. A continuing resolution (CR), funding the government at FY 06 levels until FY 07 bills are passed, expires Dec. 8. Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) has informed incoming Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) that GOP leaders plan to pass a CR through mid-February, pushing the unfinished FY 07 appropriations bills into the next Congress, when Democrats will be in charge.
