The House and Senate are in session. 

o   The Senate returns today to consider nominations and renewing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).  

o   The House returns today to consider the reconciliation bill, which the Senate passed last week, and several bills related to fraud prevention.  

• House Legislation: The House Rules Committee is scheduled to consider 19 bills under suspension of the rules. The bills include, but are not limited to, measures that would require regular fraud risk assessments for federal payments, compel OMB to issue guidance on fraud prevention, and bar government contracts and grants from being awarded to those convicted of certain felonies. The Committee will also consider a measure that would require the Education Department to screen federal student financial aid applications for identity fraud and require schools to conduct additional ID verification. 

• FY27 Appropriations: The House Appropriations Committee will mark-up its Labor-HHS-Education and Homeland Security bills on Tuesday and will hold a subcommittee-level closed markup of its FY27 Defense appropriations bill on Thursday. The Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee will hold a hearing on Tuesday, where it will consider the budget request for the Department of the Air Force. The Senate Appropriations mark-up of Commerce-Justice-Science, Agriculture-FDA, Legislative Branch, Military Construction-Veterans Affairs, Interior-Environment, and Financial Services-General Government bills could be rescheduled as early as this week.  

• Budget Reconciliation: House Republicans are set to vote this week on the Senate-passed $70 billion immigration enforcement bill. The vote is likely to be close given Republicans’ slim House majority.  Some moderate Republicans continue to voice opposition to the “anti-weaponization fund,” despite a failed Senate vote last week to prohibit the federal government from forming the fund.  

• National Parks: The House Natural Resources Committee will meet Friday to discuss reauthorization of the 2020 Great American Outdoors Act. The House’s reauthorization bill, titled the Great American Outdoors Act 250, would revamp the Legacy Restoration Fund, a major maintenance fund for the National Park Service and other public lands. While the House proposal would implement new revenue sources and specific criteria for project selection, the Senate reauthorization bill (S.1547), scheduled for a mark-up on Wednesday, June 10, simply renews the maintenance program.  

• FISA: Key pieces of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) are set to expire on Friday. Senate Democrats are threatening to let the spy powers lapse unless the White House replaces Bill Pulte as interim Director of National Intelligence. An extension will need at least 60 votes in the Senate. 

• NDAA: The Senate Armed Services Committee is set to meet on June 10 to conduct a closed-door mark-up of its FY27 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The House Armed Services Committee advanced its NDAA bill in a 44-12 vote last Thursday, June 4 after debating nearly 900 amendments.  

• Hearings and Markups: 

o   Transportation: The Senate Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee will hold a hearing entitled “How Technological Advances are Driving Transportation Innovation” on Tuesday.  

o   Infrastructure: The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will hold a subcommittee-level hearing on the effective implementation of public building reforms on Tuesday.  

o   Immigration: The House Oversight Task Force will hold a hearing entitled “Amnesty and Chaos: Abuse of U.S. Immigration Policy” on Tuesday. 

o   Agriculture: Secretary Brooke Rollins will testify before the Senate Committee on Agriculture on Wednesday. 

o   Disaster Recovery: The House Financial Services Housing and Insurance Subcommittee will hold a hearing entitled “Examining Local Needs in Disaster Recovery” on Wednesday.  

o   DOE: Secretary Chris Wright will testify before the House Science, Space and Technology Committee on Wednesday.  

o   Fish and Wildlife Service: Director Brian Neswik will testify before the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee on Wednesday.  

o   Public Lands: The Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee will mark-up its legislation to reauthorize the 2020 Great American Outdoors Act on Wednesday. The House Natural Resources Committee will meet to discuss its reauthorization bill on Friday.  

o   Courts: The Senate Judiciary Committee will mark-up several pieces of courtroom-related legislation on Thursday.
