WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
"The House Republican Leadership has announced its intention to have the House vote today on conference reports on a budget- cut "reconciliation" bill (S. 1932) and the defense appropriation bill (H.R. 2863) under a procedure known as "martial law." The Leadership's proposal to invoke martial law has already been debated on the House floor and will be voted on later today.
"Under this procedure, longstanding House rules that require at least one day between the unveiling of significant legislation and the House floor vote on that legislation are swept away. Instead, under "martial law," the Leadership can file legislation with hundreds of pages of fine print and move immediately to debate and votes on it, before Members of Congress, the media, or the public have an opportunity to understand fully what provisions have been altered or inserted in the legislation behind closed doors. This is the procedure the Leadership hopes to use today to muscle through these bills.
"The budget reconciliation conference agreement reportedly cuts a variety of programs by about $41 billion over five years. It apparently contains provisions affecting millions of Americans, including changes in Medicaid, Medicare, student loans, child support enforcement, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, the foster care program, and others. Republican leaders have been meeting behind closed doors on this far-reaching legislation. At this time, few details are available on what the legislation actually does.

breifing on c-span2
just now i was able to look and hear the briefing about the senates briefing of what happening inside closed doors.
the gentlemen who gave the briefing talked about oil drilling and hurricane katrina but not any immigartion bill.
so i am suspecting that immigartion package is being overlooked and has been included.
may be i am too optimistic.
what about other people's view.

If ANWAR is tied to the defence appropriations bill, then we should try to tag our bill to that too.Sandeep_N said:
To which bill was the earlier recapture of VISA numbers (for the schedule A employees) tied to? I think one of the Iraq war bill, but i dont remember. We should court all party members especially democrats to help our case if we dont make it into the budjet bill. just a thought.

I have spend whole day on net waiting for the immigration provision in the final report. I think we will now see the bill coming on the floor.
Let's pray together that Immigration provision is included in the conference committee report for Deficit reduction bill.

7:23 PM Speaker Announces Budget Deal Package Has $41.6 Billion in Savings
7:23 PM
<U>http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=58362</u>
House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) made the following statement today regarding an agreement on the budget that will soon be voted upon by Congress.
"House Republicans promised the American people that we would restrain federal spending and reform government programs. I'm proud to say we have an agreement. The most successful businesses must watch their spending, and the federal government is no different. This measure has $41.6 billion in savings that will tighten the federal budget and allow us to have a more efficient, effective and smarter government. House Republicans have always been mindful that none of us wants to straddle future generations with a bogged down, bloated federal budget. This bill outlines specific priorities so that we curb wasteful spending while still doing some good things for our citizens.
"This conference report on the Deficit Reduction Act makes government run better by making some commonsense reforms. It includes market based Medicaid reforms that both Republican and Democratic governors - who pay 43 percent of the program's cost - have been begging for. One of those reforms includes starting a demonstration project to give states the flexibility to offer Health Opportunity Accounts for Medicaid beneficiaries. We are also giving Governors the flexibility they need to better serve their Medicaid recipients.
