House Returns and the Debt Ceiling Limit

Advocacy at a Glance offers you the bullet point summary of current advocacy issues associated with the goals of the Alliance for a Stronger FDA.

• House Returns. The House returns next week after a week off. There is a chance FDA’s budget could go to the House floor next week.

• Debt Ceiling Limit. All eyes continue to be on the debt ceiling limit which expires in early August. Although the situation may change, the Senate is not likely to mark up the FY 2012 Agriculture Appropriations bill until after an agreement is reached on the debt-ceiling extension and accompanying spending cuts.
