The House is officially in recess until September.  The Senate has one more week to accomplish their unfinished business.

In the Senate:

- Senator Reid is using the HR 1586 Aviation Safety and Investment Act of 2010 to add on a $26.1 billion dollar measure that includes 10 billion dollars in education funding that was cut out of last week’s wartime supplemental.  There will be enormous state and local job loss if this does not pass.

- There is also a possible cloture vote on the Energy bill in hopes of a final vote on Wednesday.

- The Kagan nomination proceedings and votes will commence this week as well.  Currently there are five Republicans plus every Democrat except Bill Nelson in favor of her appointment.
