More action on the FY2019 appropriations front is expected today, with the Senate bringing up for the consideration the second “minibus” of spending bills, which contains the Labor-HHS-Education and Defense measures. The chamber could pass it by the end of the day today.
In addition, the staff for the House and Senate Appropriations Committees are scheduled to meet today to see if the remaining hurdles in the third minibus can be cleared. This package contains the Interior, Agriculture, Transportation-Housing, and Financial Services bills.
