Members are advised that the House will now be in session on Saturday, July 30, and Sunday, July 31. First votes on both days are not expected prior to 1:00 p.m. More information regarding the exact schedule will be released as soon as it is available.

In addition, Members are advised that the House will meet, as previously scheduled, at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, July 29. Since Friday will no longer be a last day in session this week, votes are now likely after 3:00 p.m.

Legislation this weekend is expected to include continued consideration of the FY12 Interior Appropriations bill while the House waits for the Senate to pass either the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act or the bipartisan negotiated Budget Control Act. No other legislative action on the debt limit—other than a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution—is expected in the House.
