President Obama's supreme court announcement will alter the calendar a bit. The senate will focus on that issue in an effort to get the nominee confirmed before the summer recess (that begins the first of August with a 4th of July time period thrown in where members go to the district/home state).What does that mean? Well energy and climate change legislation could be delayed. The house has the Waxman/Markey bill that had hit a cap-and-trade speed bump. The senate has their own bills, as opposed to one in the house (see blog entry below on this issue), and work will continue on them. But still, these supreme court appointment can be time consuming. So it may be fall, if then, when a final energy package will be hammered out. And the shape and form of the package (one bill, two bills, 100 bills...) will still need to be determined. Tick tock.

Hearings are starting to take place regarding FY 2010 appropriations. There is a lot of work to do before the August recess, so June and July will be busy appropriation months....well, they should be. From an A&M point of view, we'll respond to members regarding how supporting agencies like NSF, NIH, DOE, etc. affect our research efforts.
