Congress set to pass a couple of spending bills before August recess

In a rush to meet the adjournment deadline of the 2nd session, Congress is about to pass two major spending bills energy and transportation. In the energy bill they extended daylight savings in the fall and spring for a total of one month. If congress did not pass the omnibus transportation bill they would have had to pass a temporary spending bill. Congress will be in recess for the month of August. The fiscal year ends around October for the federal government.
