CBO's Swagel Meets House Conservatives on 3rd Budget Bill as GOP Has 8 Session Days Left

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg Government · Jul 13

Wednesday’s meeting will put CBO Director Phillip Swagel before the Republican Study Committee as House Republicans weigh a third party-line reconciliation package.
A potential third budget bill could carry defense funding and anti-fraud measures, but lawmakers say work on a framework has moved slowly.
House Budget Committee Republicans used last week’s recess to discuss reconciliation 3.0, reflecting pressure to advance the package soon.
Only 8 legislative session days remain on the House schedule including Monday, tightening the window for Republicans to move another budget bill.
