NUMBER OF THE WEEK: 34
The number of days until the U.S. House of Representatives
returns from August recess. The Senate is in this week to tackle
procedural motions for legislation related to cybersecurity and
Planned Parenthood. The Senate is expected to depart for recess
later in the week. Both chambers are scheduled to return Sep. 8.
Members will have little time to admire the fall colors when they
return, however. An aggressive legislative agenda looms once more
over both chambers: long-term highway bill, international tax
reform, government funding for FY2016, FAA reauthorization,
Export-Import Bank reauthorization, raising the debt ceiling, and
more.
Programming Note: Hey, it's August recess!
McGuireWoods' Tax Policy Update will be taking a break for the
remainder of August. We will be back in your inbox when Congress
returns Sep. 8. So enjoy your summer vacations – it's
going to be a busy fall!
