The Week Ahead
Capitol Hill April 29th, 2013 

Both chambers are in recess until Monday, May 6^th.  Last week Congress approved H.R. 1765, a bill to end air traffic controller furloughs by giving the FAA flexibility to reprogram $253 million in furlough spending cuts. Legislators return home this week with competing immigration proposals at the center of debate. Congress is expected to act this spring to expand on a 1986 legislation creating a pathway to citizenship for the nation’s undocumented immigrants. Cybersecurity remains a priority with the House recently approving a measure to increase data sharing cooperation between businesses and the government. The White House has threatened to veto the measure which they believe does not include “reasonable steps to remove personal information” when sharing cybersecurity data.
