Excerpt from Energy and Climate Debate -

The House is back in session this week, and health care measures are expected to dominate both chambers. Three conference committees are reconciling differences between House- and Senate-approved bills. The first will tackle S. 601 and H.R. 3080, the Water Resources Development Act; the second will address the budget, giving a path forward for 2014 appropriations; and the third will focus on the farm bill. Of the three committees, the latter two have the most relevance to energy-related matters.
