Congress Approves CR through
Nov. 22
October 18, 2002-The House and Senate Oct. 16 passed
by voice vote a continuing resolution (CR) (H.
J. Res. 123) that will keep the government running at
FY 02 levels until Nov. 22. House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.)
and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) have indicated
they expect the House and Senate, respectively, to return
for a lame-duck session the week following the Nov. 5 elections.
In the interim, both chambers will be in pro forma sessions;
however, no votes are expected. The Senate approved the FY
03 Defense appropriations bill on Oct. 16, making it just
the second (along with Military Construction) of 13 annual
appropriations bills to be cleared for the President's signature.
